12G-SDI, Multi-Format PCIe I/O Card

Corvid 44 12G boasts four bidirectional 12G-SDI spigots with a Reference Input. 8K Input or Output is possible using quad 12G-SDI cables and 4K/UltraHD I/O can be achieved with either a single 12G-SDI or 6G-SDI cable, or quad 3G-SDI cables. 2K/HD I/O can be achieved with a single SDI cable or dual link SDI, while allowing capture and monitoring via SDI to take place simultaneously.

The Corvid 44 12G family also includes models for active vs. passive cooling, RS422 on PCIe bracket vs. card header, and HD-BNC vs. full-size BNC connectors.

Flexible Frame Rate Support

Corvid 44 12G supports 8K (8192 x 4320) and UltraHD2 (7680 x 4320) High Frame Rate (HFR) workflows up to 50/60p for the most demanding applications. Film rates of 23.98, 24, 47.95 and 48p are also supported across 8K, 4K, and 2K.

High frame rates are not limited to 8K and UltraHD2 with Corvid 44 12G, multiple 4K, UltraHD, 1080p and 720p HD inputs and outputs are also supported at frame rates up to 50/60p, making Corvid 12G extremely flexible for your current and future needs

Hardware Keying

The built-in hardware downstream keyer allows graphics and images to be easily overlaid on the input video in real time.

LTC and Reference Input

Corvid 44 12G provides one external, switchable LTC/Reference Input connection on the back of the card. A second LTC input is available on an internal header for providing additional reference to Corvid 44 12G.

RS-422

A built-in RS-422 connection is available either as an external connection on the full-sized Corvid 44 12G or as an internal connection on the low profile Corvid 44 12G. RS-422 allows control of external devices for frame accurate ingest and layoffs.
