The NVIDIA Quadro FX 5600 SDI and Quadro FX 4600 SDI graphics solutions now also offer:

* 2D Video Pass-Through Compositing — enables incoming video to be passed through and alpha composited, luma keyed or chroma keyed with the Quadro rendered graphics image on the outgoing SDI video

* Large Frame Buffers — 768 MB to 1.5 GB ultra-fast graphics frame buffer memory delivers high throughput for interactive visualization of large models and high-performance for real-time processing of textures and frames while enabling high-quality, full-scene antialiasing (FSAA)

* 8K Texture and Render Processing — offers the ability to texture from and render to 8K x 8K surfaces

* Next-Generation Vertex and Pixel Programmability — provides a higher level of performance and ultra-realistic effects using the Shader Model 4.0 standard, supporting OpenGL and DirectX 10 applications

* Ancillary Data Support — allows an ancillary data channel for audio, timecodes, and more
