Chapter 05 : API Control Windows XP NvGvo API Description This section describes the NvGvo APIs inthe following sections:  "NvGvo Function Description" on page 44  "NvGvo Structures, Enumerations, and Defines" on page 53 NvGvo Function Description Table 5.1 NvGvo Function Index Call NvGvoCaps() NvGvoOpen() NvGvoClose() NvGvoDesktopOpen() NvGvoDesktopClose() NvGvoStatus() NvGvoSyncFormatDetect() NvGvoConfigGet() NvGvoConfigSet() NvGvoIsRunning() NvGvoStart() NvGvoStop() NvGvoEnumSignalFormats() NvGvoIsFrameLockModeCompatible() NvGvoEnumDataFormats() Description Determine the graphics-to-video capabilities of the graphics card. Open the graphics card for graphics-tovideo operations using the OpenGL application interface. Close the graphics card for graphics-tovideo operations using the OpenGL application interface. Open the graphics cards for graphics-tovVideo operations using the Desktop transparent mode interface. Close the graphics cards for graphics-tovideo operations using the Desktop transparent mode interface. Get the graphics-to-video status. Detect the video format of the iincoming sync signal. Get the current graphics-to-video configuration. Set the graphics-to-video configuration. Determine if there is an SDI out video stream. Start the SDI out video stream. Stop the SDI out video stream. Enumerate the supported SDI signal formats. Verify whether a mode is compatible with frame lock mode. Enumerate the supported SDI data formats. Quadro 4000/5000/6000 SDI DU-05337-001_v01 | 44
