12G-SDI, Multi-Format PCIe I/O Card
Corvid 44 12G features four bidirectional 12G-SDI ports with a reference input. 8K input or output is possible with four 12G-SDI cables and 4K/UltraHD I/O can be achieved with either a single 12G-SDI or 6G-SDI cable or four 3G-SDI cables. 2K/HD I/O can be achieved with a single SDI cable or Dual Link SDI, while recording and monitoring over SDI can be done simultaneously.
The Corvid 44 12G family also includes models for active vs. passive cooling, RS422 on PCIe mount vs. card header, and HD-BNC vs. full-size BNC connectors.
Flexible frame rate support
Corvid 44 12G supports 8K (8192 x 4320) and UltraHD2 (7680 x 4320) High Frame Rate (HFR) workflows up to 50/60p for the most demanding applications. Film rates of 23.98, 24, 47.95 and 48p are also supported in 8K, 4K and 2K
High frame rates are not limited to 8K and UltraHD2 on the Corvid 44 12G, multiple 4K, UltraHD, 1080p and 720p HD inputs and outputs are also supported at frame rates up to 50/60p, making the Corvid 12G extremely flexible for your current and future needs
Hardware Keying
The integrated hardware downstream keyer makes it easy to overlay graphics and images onto the input video in real time.
LTC and Reference Input
Corvid 44 12G provides an external, switchable LTC/Reference input connector on the back of the card. A second LTC input is available on an internal header to provide additional references for Corvid 44 12G.
RS-422
An integrated RS-422 connection is available either as an external connection on the full-size Corvid 44 12G or as an internal connection on the low-profile Corvid 44 12G. RS-422 enables control of external devices for frame-accurate capture and blanking.
