The SDI application programming interface allows OpenGL applications to have full and exclusive control of the SDI output.
Refer to the Programming the NVIDIA Quadro FX SDI document corresponding to your graphics solution for instructions on using the APIs.
When an application requests control of the SDI card it will disable any configured SDI settings.
Once the application is running and the SDI output is under application control, you can view the SDI settings and check the status using the Manage SDI Output Settings page.
