    Not possible.
    You have to use the main graphics card and convert to SDI externally.

    Cheapest method is the Decklink DVI Extender:

    but it doesn't support ALL formats of SDI

    My standard recommendation is for the use of TVOne Scalers to convert to SDI and HDSDI. I use these all the time.

    Simon, what are your experiences with these? Do you see a large frame delay? Do they play nice delivering a good EDID to the Mac?
