Product Overview +
Next-Generation 12G-SDI Performance
Corvid 44 12G is a high-end PCIe 3.0 video I/O card designed for demanding broadcast, live production, and post-production environments. It delivers ultra-high bandwidth processing through four bidirectional 12G-SDI connections.
Multi-Resolution, Multi-Format Flexibility
The card supports everything from SD and HD to 4K, UltraHD, and up to 8K workflows. Each SDI connection can handle different formats, enabling highly flexible production pipelines across mixed-resolution environments.
Advanced 8K and HDR Workflows
Corvid 44 12G enables real-time 8K and UltraHD2 production with support for high frame rates up to 60p. HDR formats including PQ, HLG, and Dolby Vision ensure compatibility with modern cinematic and broadcast standards.
Real-Time Graphics and Keying
A built-in hardware downstream keyer allows real-time overlay of graphics, alpha channels, and framebuffer content directly into video streams, making it ideal for live production and broadcast graphics.
Broadcast Synchronization and Control
With RS-422 device control, LTC timecode, and reference sync support, Corvid 44 12G integrates seamlessly into professional broadcast environments requiring frame-accurate ingest and playout.
Advanced Production and AR Workflows
The card supports real-time integration with tools like Unreal Engine for augmented reality and virtual production workflows, enabling live compositing and on-set visualization.
