About Softron M|4i

Find the ultimate solution for multichannel recording with the M|4i Hardware and Software Bundle, meticulously engineered for Mac systems equipped with PCIe slots, such as the Mac Pro, or for integration with your personal Thunderbolt expansion chassis. This bundle is an economical alternative to traditional multichannel solutions, enabling simultaneous ingestion of four HD or 4K channels. At the core of this bundle is the M|4i PCIe card, featuring 8 HD SDI in/out connectors, including 4 that are 12G, offering unparalleled flexibility to manage up to 8 HD channels or 4 4K channels based on your specific requirements.

When installed in an internal PCIe slot, the M|4i card efficiently handles four channels of UHD50/60p. In contrast, when utilized within a Thunderbolt chassis, it accommodates up to 2 channels of UHD50/60p, 4 channels of UHD25/30p, 7 channels of HD60p, or 8 channels of HD50p, due to bandwidth constraints. This adaptability ensures that your recording setup can be tailored to your needs, whether you're working with HD or 4K content.

Included in the M|4i bundle are 4 MovieRecorder licenses, conveniently provided on a dongle, empowering you to record multiple channels simultaneously. It's important to note that using one 12G connector for a 4K signal reduces the available connectors for HD to four. The dongle is essential for accessing the M|4i, as serial numbers are not provided, and it supports up to 20 licenses, allowing for substantial expansion of your recording capabilities. Additional licenses for MovieRecorder, OnTheAir Video, or OnTheAir Video Express can be seamlessly added to the dongle upon request.

In summary, the M|4i Hardware and Software Bundle with 4x MovieRecorder Licenses, Video Card, and Dongle is a versatile, cost-effective solution designed to enhance your multichannel recording capabilities on Mac systems with PCIe slots.
