AVMatrix TB-P51 – 5-Channel 3G-SDI Capture & Playback Docking Station

The TB-P51 is a five-channel SDI docking station: one input, one output and three channels configurable as inputs or outputs, to capture several sources while sending programme or graphics signals back into the SDI system. The SDK allows custom applications to be developed.

The TB-BOX series docking stations connect a video interface card in an actively cooled external box to the computer through a 40 Gb/s Ultra-speed port, while adding USB 3.1 Gen2 and DisplayPort ports and powering the laptop. They suit streaming, recording and live production setups based on laptops or mini PCs where no internal PCIe slot is available.
