Aja Video Systems CRV88-9-T-NF Corvid 88 - Standard height PCIe bracket and passive heat sink, includes 5x 101999-02 1.0/2.3 to BNC adapter cables

AJA Corvid 88 CRV88-9-T-NF 3G-SDI PCIe I/O Card, Tall (Full-Height) Bracket, Passive Heat Sink

The AJA Corvid 88 CRV88-9-T-NF gives AJA Developer Partner applications access to up to eight simultaneous input and output streams on a single PCIe card, for ingest and playout servers and channel-in-a-box systems. This version has a full-height PCIe bracket and a passive heat sink, and includes 5 x 101999-02 DIN 1.0/2.3 to BNC adapter cables.

Each connection can be set programmatically as an input or output and can carry a different video format, provided all formats use the same clock timing; connections can also be linked for dual link or 4K/UltraHD formats. The card supports 4K and UltraHD high frame rate workflows at 48p, 50p and 60p, multiple 720p and 1080p inputs and outputs up to 50/60p, and ingest or output of up to 64 discrete audio channels. It provides one switchable LTC/reference input on the card, a second LTC input on an internal header, and RS-422 available as an external connection on the bracket for frame-accurate control of external devices.
