AJA Corvid 44 4-Channel 3G-SDI Low Profile Flexible Input/Output Card, Short PCIe Bracket

Because high-quality video and audio production requires advanced and reliable technology, the Corvid 44 4-Channel 3G-SDI Low Profile Flexible Input/Output Card is a perfect solution. This durable and efficient card allows you to configure each SDI connection individually as an input or output, enabling you to mix formats for up to four HD or SD channels on a single card.

As the demand for higher resolutions continues to rise, the Corvid 44's 4K capability comes into play. You can combine SDI connections into a single 4K/UltraHD channel, providing incredible flexibility and future-proofing your equipment. This card is equipped with PCIe Express Gen 2.0 8-lane and supports all SD/HD/2K x 1080/4K video formats.

The Corvid 44 is not just about video; it also supports high frame rate (HFR) with 3G input/output. It features 8/10-bit YCbCr and 12-bit RGB frame buffer formats, and 2 independent Mixer/Keyer widgets. For audio, it offers 4 independent 16-Ch 48 kHz SDI embedded audio I/O engines.

This card is also designed with flexibility in mind. Each BNC connection 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. Connections can also be linked together to support dual link or 4K/UltraHD formats.

For high frame rate support, the Corvid 44 is capable of handling 4K (4096 x 2160) and UltraHD (3840 x 2160) workflows. It can work at frame rates of 48p, 50p, and 60p, ensuring smooth motion for the most demanding 4K and UltraHD applications.

The Corvid 44 also provides one external, switchable LTC/Reference input connection on the back of the card, and a second LTC input is available on an internal header for providing additional reference. A built-in RS-422 connection allows control of external devices for frame-accurate ingest and layoffs.

In conclusion, the Corvid 44 4-Channel 3G-SDI Low Profile Flexible Input/Output Card is a powerful platform for AJA's Developer Program, allowing partner companies to incorporate AJA products into their systems. This card leverages AJA's expertise to develop and support these technologies, saving money and getting their integrated products to market more quickly.
