16 Channel Digital Video Recorder Pci Card

I use this with a Tascam DP008 8 channel digital recorder. The phone output on that unit is weak, so I use this and its great. It solves all monitoring and mixing problems created by a weak phone-jack signal. Its great.

I love this thing! I needed to step up from a single-channel digital recorder but I don't need (and can't afford) a big deck. This is a great combination of compact size, enough features for a small shoot and affordability.

I'm using this recorder as part of a single-shooter video rig shooting gymnastics events for a YouTube channel called Grips. Chalk. Flip. This recorder works well with my setup, which includes a Nikon Z6 connected via HDMI to a BlackMagic Video Assist 12g shooting in 10-bit N-Log in ProRes HQ. I'm using 5-6 of the inputs on the Zoom, feeding the mix to the Z6 via one stereo channel and a free run clock timecode from the Zoom F6 to the other stereo channel. Both audio channels are then fed to the BMVA via HDMI. Feeding through the camera rather than direct to the BMVA helps with the HDMI latency from the Z6 by keeping the audio and video in sync. I sync my dailies using Tentacle Sync Studio, which is quick and exports easily into Final Cut Pro X. The 32-bit float is great, too, because in this setup, I can't pay much attention to the audio levels apart from what I hear in the mix, so I don't have to worry about clipping as I can fix it later.

The case is being used for my SONY.. digital HD video camera recorder. It is big so that it will fix and room for digital camera, the ligths, etc... So far (4-5) producer, would like to have one now.

The battery is for my son's digital video recorder. It was used extensively for only about 10 days and worked very well, no complains. What will happen later we don't know but hope for best.

For years I was using $3k digital recorder to transfer video from my DVR to my computer for editing & posting to social media. The Elgato device gets the job done at a fraction of the cost.

I use it to split audio from my mixer onto a digital recorder and a headset too!

I ordered this Allegro USB 3.1-C type card because my PC was damaged during a no-warning fire safety power shut-off back in October here in California which caused a surge straight through my APC backup/surge protector. This resulted in a damaged front audio and USB port unit through the main switch to my computer case which connects directly to the motherboard. Therefore all the USB ports on the front of the case and on the back I/O of the motherboard became non-functional. This card, attached to the motherboard, bypasses the USB-C port on the back so that I can temporarily use it for USB-C connections until a new USB/audio/switch unit arrives from Germany for my Be Quiet! 800 case. Fortunately, it is still under warranty, and Be Quiet! offered to replace the unit free of charge. However, the Allegro card only works in PCI-E 3.0 or higher slots. It will NOT fit in PCI-E 16 express (the interface is too wide). I tried it in a PCI-E 2.0 slot and it will not function in it at all. Be sure that you have the right configuration or it will not work. It has two USB-C ports. Therefore, with the right cables, I am also able to route it to a four-port hub for other USB input needs such as thumb drives. This adapter is similar in writing speed to the original USB-C port on the I/O from the motherboard. This, with a four port USB 3.0 card connected to the PCI-E express gives me enough latitude to plug in all of my peripherals until final repairs are made. When that happens I will use it in another older PC build which does not have USB-C capability. I have tried it in that PC and it works very well and fast.
