AJA Corvid 88 High Density Multi-Stream, Multi-Format PCIe 2.0 I/O Card (Low Profile, Fanless)

Description

The AJA Video Systems CRV88-9-S-NCF is a fanless, low profile PCIe bracket with no cables that allows the user to configure each SDI connection individually as input or output and mix formats for up to eight HD or SD channels on a single card.  As demand rises for higher resolutions, combine SDI connections into a single 4K/UHD channel, allowing incredible flexibility and futureproofing with playout and ingest servers or channel-in-a-box systems.

Corvid 88 is designed for Development Partner applications that require multiple simultaneous input and output streams. Corvid 44 provides four independent BNC connections while Corvid 88 expands that to a total of eight BNC connections on a single card. Each BNC connection can be set programmatically as either an input or output and each can support a different video
format, provided all formats use the same clock timing. This allows for maximum flexibility in applications where high density I/O is required, such as playout or ingest servers. Connections can also be linked together to support Dual Link or 4K/UltraHD formats.
