AJA Corvid 44 4-Channel 3G-SDI Low Profile Flexible Input/Output Card without Fan

Become a master of video and audio input/output (I/O) management with the Corvid 44 4-Channel 3G-SDI Low Profile Flexible Input/Output Card. This high-performance card allows you to individually configure each SDI connection as either input or output, enabling the mixing of formats for up to four HD or SD channels on a single card.

Designed with future-proofing in mind, the Corvid 44 combines SDI connections into a single 4K/UltraHD channel to meet the growing demand for higher resolutions. This feature provides incredible flexibility and prepares your system for future technological advancements.

The Corvid 44 boasts an 8-lane PCIe Express Gen 2.0, supporting up to four independent channels of 3G, HD, SD-SDI I/O. It accommodates all SD/HD/2K x 1080/4K video formats and offers 3G input/output for High Frame Rate (HFR) support. The card also features 8/10-bit YCbCr and 12-bit RGB frame buffer formats, along with 2 independent Mixer/Keyer widgets.

For superior audio performance, the Corvid 44 is equipped with 4 independent 16-Ch 48 kHz SDI embedded audio I/O engines. It also supports Analog Color Black or HD Tri-Level Sync.

The Corvid 44 is now available in a fanless version, making it an ideal choice for sound-sensitive environments. This multi-stream, multi-format PCIe I/O card allows AJA Developer Partner applications to access up to four simultaneous input and output streams on a single PCIe card, making it perfect for a wide variety of medium-density applications.

Each BNC connection on the Corvid 44 can be set programmatically as either an input or output, and each can support a different video format, provided all formats use the same clock timing. Connections can also be linked together to support dual link or 4K/UltraHD formats.

The Corvid 44 supports 4K (4096 x 2160) and UltraHD (3840 x 2160) High Frame Rate (HFR) workflows. It operates 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 to the card.

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

The Corvid 44 is a powerful platform for AJA's Developer Partners, allowing them to incorporate AJA products into their systems. By utilizing existing, proven video I/O devices, Developer Partners can leverage AJA's expertise to develop and support these technologies, saving money and getting their integrated products to market more quickly.
