6 | SD2220W
Select a graphics card
The SD2220W unit requires a dual-output graphics card to drive the two
monitors with a DVI signal. For professional applications that use OpenGL
quad-buffered stereo, the graphics card should support OpenGL stereo as
well. Typically, the two monitors should be in clone mode for these
applications.
There are several compatible graphics card families. The NVIDIA Quadro FX
line and the Matrox Parhelia line have all been tested and are compatible for
OpenGL stereo applications. The NVIDIA GeForce line offers dual-DVI output
graphics cards that work well for PC gaming and DirectX applications. AMD
FireGL cards are also compatible with the SD line.

configuration, and using side monitors with the SD2220W unit.
Install the mirror-flip PCI card
Proper ESD (electrostatic discharge) handling precautions
should be exercised when installing the mirror-flip PCI card.
Consult the computer manual for proper installation of
graphics cards.
Because the viewer will see a reflection of the
top monitor, this image needs to be flipped
on the horizontal axis. A mirror-flip PCI card is
included with the SD2220W unit. Plug this
card into a free PCI slot in your computer.
There are no drivers to load with the card.
1. Remove the blank bracket from
an available PCI slot.
2. Insert the mirror-flip PCI card into
the slot, align the connector pins,
and press the board down until it is
firmly seated.
3. Secure the mounting bracket.
