ATI FirePro S400 100-505590 Synchronization Module

ATI 100-505590 FirePro S400 Synchronization Module
The ATI FirePro? S400 synchronization module allows ATI FirePro? 3D workstation graphics cards to be used in demanding applications that require synchronization to external sources (Genlock) or synchronization of 3D rendering of multiple GPUs in different systems (Framelock). The combination of these capabilities with ATI FirePro? graphics accelerators means that an even wider set of applications can benefit from the award-winning ATI FirePro? line. Based on a full hardware-dedicated processor, design, the ATI FirePro? S400 helps to ensure clockaccurate synchronization in virtually all scenarios. The dedicated processor allows up to four attached GPUs to work in the rendering needs of the user without compromising sync.

The ATI FirePro? S400 delivers Framelock by combining Output lock (synchronized display output) and 3D swap lock (simultaneous 3D buffer swapping), ensuring that the GPUs in connected systems present their output in lock-step. The two RJ-45 connectors on the module allow for connection of multiple daisy-chained systems (each with up to 4 ATI FirePro? GPUs inside). The BNC connector on the module optionally allows systems to be synchronized (Genlocked) to an external signal, a capability essential for use in powerwalls used in live television broadcasts.

Note: The ATI FirePro S400 synchronization module requires the use of at least one and up to four ATI FirePro? V8750 graphics accelerators to function.

Note: The interface slot is only used for mounting and this card will fit in either a PCI or PCI-Express slot.
