AJA Corvid 88 8-Channel 3G-SDI Low Profile High Density Input/Output Card without Fan, 5x Mini-BNC to Full-Size BNC Cable Adapter

Under the umbrella of advanced video and audio technology, the Corvid 88 8-Channel 3G-SDI Low Profile High Density Input/Output Card stands out as a high-quality, durable, and reliable solution for professionals in the video production and post-production industry. This innovative card is designed to maximize your I/O capacity, allowing each SDI connection to be individually configured as input or output. It can mix formats for up to eight HD or SD channels on a single card, providing an unparalleled level of flexibility.

As the demand for higher resolutions continues to grow, the Corvid 88 is future-proof, allowing you to combine SDI connections for multiple 4K/UltraHD channels. This makes it an ideal choice for playout and ingest servers or channel-in-a-box systems. The card is equipped with PCIe Express Gen 2.0 8-lane, supporting up to eight independent channels of 3G, HD, SD-SDI I/O. It is compatible with all SD/HD/2Kx1080/4K video formats and provides 3G input/output for High Frame Rate (HFR) support.

The Corvid 88 boasts 8/10-bit YCbCr and 12-bit RGB frame buffer formats, and four independent Mixer/Keyer widgets. It also features eight independent 16-Ch 48 kHz SDI embedded audio I/O engines and an Analog Color Black or HD Tri-Level Sync. The card is now available in a fanless version for sound-sensitive environments.

The Corvid 88 is a multi-stream, multi-format PCIe I/O card, allowing AJA Developer Partner applications to access up to eight simultaneous input and output streams on a single PCIe card. This makes it perfect for high-density ingest and output. 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, provided all formats use the same clock timing. Connections can also be linked together to support dual link or 4K/UltraHD formats.

The Corvid 88 supports 4K (4096 x 2160) and UltraHD (3840 x 2160) High Frame Rate (HFR) workflows. It works at frame rates of 48p, 50p, and 60p, ensuring smooth motion for the most demanding 4K and UltraHD applications. High frame rates are not limited to 4K and UltraHD with Corvid 88, multiple 720p and 1080p HD inputs and outputs are also supported at frame rates up to 50p and 60p, making the Corvid 88 extremely flexible for your current and future needs.

The Corvid 88 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 Corvid 88. A built-in RS-422 connection is available either as an external connection on the full-sized Corvid 88 or as an internal connection on the low profile Corvid 88. RS-422 allows control of external devices for frame-accurate ingest and layoffs.

The Corvid 88 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.
