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

Under the umbrella of high-performance video and audio equipment, the Corvid 44 4-Channel 3G-SDI Standard Profile Flexible Input/Output Card stands out. This advanced PCIe card allows you to significantly boost your audio and video input/output (I/O) capacity. With the Corvid 44, you can individually configure each SDI connection as either 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 escalates, the Corvid 44 allows you to combine SDI connections into a single 4K/UltraHD channel. This feature provides an incredible level of flexibility and future-proofing, making it an ideal choice for professionals seeking to stay ahead of the curve.

The Corvid 44 is equipped with a PCIe Express Gen 2.0 8-lane, supporting up to four independent channels of 3G, HD, SD-SDI I/O. It is compatible with all SD/HD/2K x 1080/4K video formats and offers 3G input/output for High Frame Rate (HFR) support. The card also supports 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 features 4 independent 16-Ch 48 kHz SDI embedded audio I/O engines. It also offers Analog Color Black or HD Tri-Level Sync.

The Corvid 44 is also available in a fanless version, making it an excellent 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. Working at frame rates of 48p, 50p, and 60p ensure 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. A second LTC input is available on an internal header for providing additional reference to the Corvid 44.

The Corvid 44 also includes a 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. RS-422 allows control of external devices for frame accurate ingest and layoffs.

Finally, 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.
