AJA Corvid 44 12G BNC (Fan)

Compact 12G BNC Powerhouse

Tackle even the most demanding projects with the immense power of the latest addition to the Corvid product line. The Corvid 44 12G BNC is AJA’s lightning-fast, compact 8-lane PCIe 3.0 I/O card, featuring four full-sized, bidirectional 12G-SDI BNC connectors—engineered for today’s most rigorous video and audio workflows. The Corvid 44 12G BNC is available in various configurations, with options for either passive or active cooling.

Whether you are working with HFR 8K/4K/UltraHD, 2K/HD, SD, Deep Color, and/or HDR, you can rely on the quality and dependability that the Corvid 44 12G BNC brings to your projects. It supports 10-bit 4:2:2 and 4:4:4, with color spaces up to 12-bit, and enables both capture and output via 12G-SDI. Furthermore, it is backward-compatible with 6G-SDI, 3G-SDI, and 1.5G-SDI. The bidirectional 12G-SDI connectors offer maximum flexibility for simultaneous capture and pass-through across a wide range of applications. Features

12G-SDI, Multi-Format PCIe I/O Card
The Corvid 44 12G BNC features four bidirectional 12G-SDI connectors with a reference input. 8K input and output are supported via four 12G-SDI cables, while 4K/UltraHD input and output can be achieved using a single 12G-SDI or 6G-SDI cable, or four 3G-SDI cables. 2K/HD input and output are supported via a single SDI cable or dual-link SDI, allowing for simultaneous recording and monitoring over SDI.

The Corvid 44 12G BNC is available with either active (fan-cooled) or passive (fanless) cooling. Both versions support RS422 and LTC inputs via connectors located on the top edge of the card.

Other Corvid 44 12G models are also available, including low-profile versions equipped with HD-BNC connectors.

Raster and Frame Rate Support
The Corvid 44 12G BNC supports 8K (8192 x 4320) and UltraHD2 (7680 x 4320) high frame rate (HFR) workflows at up to 50/60p for the most demanding applications. Film frame rates of 23.98, 24, 47.95, and 48p are also supported for 8K, 4K, and 2K resolutions.

High frame rates are likewise supported across multiple I/O channels for 4K, UltraHD, 1080p, and 720p HD at up to 50/60p, making the Corvid 44 12G BNC highly flexible for both your current and future requirements.

Hardware Keying
The integrated hardware downstream keyer enables the real-time overlay of graphics and images onto incoming video, supporting resolutions up to 4K.

Reference and LTC Input
The Corvid 44 12G BNC features an external, switchable LTC/reference input connector located on the rear of the card. RS-422
An integrated RS-422 interface is available as an internal connection via a pin header on the Corvid 44 12G BNC. RS-422 enables the control of external devices for frame-accurate data capture and output.
