Overview

Compact 12G BNC Power!

The AJA Corvid 44 12G BNC is a 12G-SDI, Multi-Format PCIe I/O Card that boasts four bidirectional 12G-SDI spigots and a Reference Input. 8K Input or Output is possible using quad 12G-SDI cables and 4K/UltraHD I/O can be achieved with either a single 12G-SDI or 6G-SDI cable, or quad 3G-SDI cables. 2K/HD I/O can be achieved with a single SDI cable or dual link SDI, while allowing capture and monitoring via SDI to take place simultaneously.

Corvid 44 12G BNC supports 8K (8192 x 4320) and UltraHD2 (7680 x 4320) High Frame Rate (HFR) workflows up to 50/60p for the most demanding applications. Film rates of 23.98, 24, 47.95 and 48p are also supported across 8K, 4K, and 2K. High frame rates are also available on multiple I/O 4K, UltraHD, 1080p and 720p HD up to 50/60p, making Corvid 44 12G BNC extremely flexible for your current and future needs.

The built-in hardware downstream keyer allows graphics and images to be easily overlaid on the input video in real time up to 4K. Corvid 44 12G BNC also provides one external, switchable LTC/Reference Input connection on the back of the card and a built-in RS-422 connection can be used as an "internal" connection via a header on Corvid 44 12G BNC. RS-422 allows control of external devices for frame accurate ingest and layoffs.
