AJA CORVID 88 Low-profile 8-lane PCIe 2.0 I/O Card, 8-in/8-out

While ensuring maximum video and audio I/O capacity, the Corvid 88 Low-profile 8-lane PCIe 2.0 I/O Card, 8-in/8-out, offers an innovative solution for professional video editing and post-production environments. This advanced card allows each SDI connection to be individually configured as input or output, supporting up to 8 HD or SD channels on a single card. As the demand for higher resolutions continues to grow, the Corvid 88's ability to combine SDI connections for multiple 4K/UHD channels provides an unparalleled level of flexibility and future-proofing. This makes it an ideal choice for playout and ingest servers or channel-in-a-box systems. The Corvid 88 supports all SD/HD/2KX1080/4K video formats and features a 3G input/output for High Frame Rate (HFR) support. It also includes 8/10-bit YCbCr and 12-bit RGB frame buffer formats, 4 independent Mixer/Keyer widgets, and 8 independent 16-ch 48kHz SDI embedded audio I/O engines. This high-quality PCIe Express Gen 2.0 8-lane card is not only reliable and durable but also compatible with both Macintosh and PC/Windows operating systems. Each BNC connection on the Corvid 88 can be set programmatically as either an input or output, and each can support a different video format, as long as all formats use the same clock timing. The Corvid 88 also supports high frame rate workflows for 4K (4096 x 2160) and UltraHD (3840 x 2160). It's capable of working at frame rates of 48p, 50p, and 60p, ensuring smooth motion for the most demanding 4K and UHD applications. Moreover, the Corvid 88 provides one external, switchable LTC/Reference input connection on the back of the card, with a second LTC input available on an internal header. It also features a built-in RS-422 connection for controlling external devices for frame-accurate ingest and layoffs. In summary, the Corvid 88 Low-profile 8-lane PCIe 2.0 I/O Card, 8-in/8-out, is a versatile, high-performance solution for professional video capture and playback, offering a high number of input/output ports and compatibility with a wide range of devices.
