Standard height AJA PCIe bracket and passive heatsink
Maximise your video and audio I/O capacity with Corvid 88. 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 increases for higher resolutions, combine SDI connections for multiple 4K/UltraHD channels, offering incredible flexibility and future-proofing with playout and acquisition servers or channel-in-a-box systems.
Multi-stream, multi-format PCIe I/O card
Corvid 88 enables AJA development partner applications to access up to eight simultaneous input and output streams on a single PCIe card, making it perfect for acquisition and playout servers as well as channel-in-a-box systems.
High-density input and output
Each BNC connection on Corvid 88 can be programmed as either input or output and each can support a different video format, provided all formats in use share the same clock synchronisation. Connections can also be linked together to support dual link or 4K/UltraHD formats.
High frame rate support
Corvid 88 supports 4K (4096 x 2160) and UltraHD (3840 x 2160) workflows at high frame rates (HFR). Working at frame rates of 48p, 50p and 60p ensures smooth motion for the most demanding 4K and UltraHD applications. High frame rates are not limited to 4K and UltraHD with Corvid 88; multiple HD 720p and 1080p inputs and outputs are also supported at frame rates up to 50p and 60p, making Corvid 88 extremely flexible for your current and future needs.
LTC Input and Reference
Corvid 88 provides a switchable LTC/External Reference connection on the rear of the card. A second LTC input is available on an internal connector to provide an additional reference to Corvid 88.
RS-422
An integrated RS-422 connection is available either as an external connection on the full-height Corvid 88, or as an internal connection on the low-height Corvid 88. RS-422 enables control of external devices for precise frame-by-frame acquisition and transfers.
