SDI Application Programming Overview
Applicationprogram m ing oftheNVIDIAQuadroFXSDIconsistsoftwoprincip leparts–
devicecontrolanddatatransfer.
• Devicecontrolhandlesthehardwareconfigurationaswellasthestartingandstopping
ofdatatransfers.
ThischaptercoverstheAPIsrelatedtodatacontrol.
• Datatransferisthesequenceofoperations
