Using the card with other X-View products
The XV-SDI2 captures data and stores it in an on-board video buffer. This data is then copied using
DMA to the host system for display, storage or streaming.
When a X-View graphics card is used, XV-SDI2 transfers the data directly to the graphics card thereby
increasing performance. The XV-SDI2 sends the relevant portions of each captured image to each display
channel and instructs each channel to use its graphics engine to render the data. This fully utilises the
hardware and dramatically increases performance.
When a Direct3D compatible graphics card is used the data can be transferred direct to the graphics card
in a similar manner to the X-View graphics card with the same benefit of non-tearing captures.
When the data is displayed on a non X-View graphics card, the XV-SDI2 sends the data to system
memory or direct to the graphics card, dependant on the software used for display.
