AJA Corvid 44-S NCF

Low-profile PCIe bracket and passive heatsink; no cables included

Corvid 44
Flexible Multi-Format I/O

Expand your video and audio I/O capacity with the Corvid 44. Configure each SDI connection individually as an input or output, and mix formats for up to 4 HD or SD channels on a single card. As your need for higher resolutions grows, you can combine SDI connections into a single 4K/UHD channel, ensuring maximum flexibility and future-proofing.

Multi-Stream, Multi-Format PCIe I/O Card
The Corvid 44 allows AJA Developer Partner applications to access up to four simultaneous input and output streams on a single PCIe card, making it perfect for a wide range of medium-density applications.

Flexible Multi-Format I/O
Each BNC connector on the Corvid 44 can be programmatically configured as an input or output and can support a different video format, provided that all formats share the same timing. Multiple connectors can also be linked together to support Dual-Link or 4K/UHD formats.

High Frame Rate Support
The Corvid 44 supports 4K (4096 x 2160) and UltraHD (3840 x 2160) workflows with high frame rates (HFR). Frame rates of 48p, 50p, and 60p ensure smooth motion, even in the most demanding 4K and UHD applications. With Corvid 44, high frame rates are not limited to 4K and UHD; the card also supports multiple 720p and 1080p HD inputs and outputs at frame rates of up to 50p and 60p, making Corvid 44 exceptionally flexible for your current and future requirements.

LTC and Reference Input
Corvid 44 features an external, switchable LTC/reference input on the rear of the card. A second LTC input is available internally via a header, providing additional reference signals to the Corvid 44.

RS-422
An integrated RS-422 port is available—either as an external connector on the full-size Corvid 44 or as an internal connection on the low-profile Corvid 44. RS-422 enables the control of external devices for frame-accurate data capture and output.
