The Corvid 44 Standard-Profile 8-Lane PCIe Express Gen 2.0 Card (With Cable) from AJA Video Systems allows AJA Developer Partner applications to access up to four simultaneous input and output streams on a single PCIe card, making it suitable for a wide variety of medium-density applications. Each BNC connection on Corvid 44 can be set programmatically as either an input or output, and each can support a different video format, provided all format use the same clock timing. Connections can also be linked together to support Dual-Link or DCI and UHD 4K formats. The card also supports High Frame Rate (HFR) workflows. Working at frame rates of 48p, 50p and 60p ensure smooth motion for the most demanding 4K and UHD applications.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Will this allow audio through the bnc input or just video?

A: If you are using the BNC connections for SDI then SDI embedded audio is on both the input and output. However if you are using the BNC connection for an older analog connection the audio will not be present.

Q: 2. Do the Esata ports support port multiplier? if so, how many drives (eg, can you attach an 8-drive esata encolosure to it)

A: That information is not provided/published by the manufacturer.

Q: 8. Will this card work under Yosemite? on a Mac Pro 5,1 running Yosemite?

A: I've been running this card for months on the came config (Mac Pro 5,1) and it's awesome -- a great way to help extend the life of your Mac. Go to the company website and make sure you're running the latest firmware and drivers. If you're still using the stock ATI graphics card, consider replacing it with the EVGA Nvidia GTX-680 (Mac edition). -- I did. Also consider more RAM. I added 32 GB.

Q: 9. Do the four ports share a 5 Gb/s bandwidth, so the more devices you connect, the slower each runs? Or, does each port have a dedicated 5 Gb/s bandwidth?

A: They do not share a 5 Gb/s bandwidth. Each port has a dedicated 5 Gb/s bandwidth.

Q: 10. Will this card work on PCIe 1.0?

A: Yes, although bandwidth would be limited to PCie 1.0 speeds.
