The Silicon Graphics DMediaPro series of digital media products is available for the complete line of SGI® workstations, visualization systems, and servers. These products are designed for high-quality uncompressed input and output of standard- and high-definition video and audio. SGI also offers interfaces designed specifically for real-time graphics-to-video output (GVO). This capability is ideal for real-time colorspace conversion, so artists can view their work simultaneously in both RGB and video colorspace. GVO products are also widely used in live television applications for real-time on-air graphics.
