Corvid 88 - Fanless version
High-density I/O in any size

Maximize your video and audio I/O capacity with the Corvid 88. Configure each SDI connection individually as an input or output and mix formats for up to 8 HD or SD channels on a single card. As demand for higher resolutions increases, you can combine SDI connections for multiple 4K/UHD channels. This allows for incredible flexibility and future-proofing with playout and ingest servers or channel-in-a-box systems.

Multi-stream, Multi-format PCIe I/O card
Corvid 88 gives AJA Developer Partner applications access to up to eight simultaneous input and output streams on a single PCIe card, making it perfect for ingest and playout servers and channel-in-a-box systems.

High density input and output
Each BNC connector on the Corvid 88 can be programmatically set as an input or output, and each connector can support a different video format, provided that all formats use the same clock timing. Connectors can also be daisy-chained together to support Dual Link or 4K/UHD formats.

High frame rate support
Corvid 88 supports 4K (4096 x 2160) and UltraHD (3840 x 2160) High Frame Rate (HFR) workflows. Working at 48p, 50p, and 60p frame rates ensures smooth motion for the most demanding 4K and UHD applications.

High frame rates aren’t limited to 4K and UHD with Corvid 88, multiple 720p and 1080p HD inputs and outputs are also supported with frame rates up to 50p and 60p, making Corvid 88 extremely flexible for your current and future needs.

LTC and reference input
The Corvid 88 has one external switchable LTC/Reference input on the back of the card. A second LTC input is available on an internal header to provide additional reference to the Corvid 88.

RS-422
A built-in RS-422 connection is available as an external connection on the full-size Corvid 88 or as an internal connection on the low-profile Corvid 88. RS-422 allows external devices to be controlled for frame-accurate recording and lay-offs.
