AJA Flexible Multi-Format I / O Standard-profile (Corvid 44 T)

High-Performance Multi-Stream Video I/O

The AJA Corvid 44 is a versatile PCIe card designed for developer partner applications requiring up to four simultaneous input and output streams. This standard-profile card is engineered for medium-density applications, providing the reliability and performance expected in professional broadcast and post-production environments.

Flexible Multi-Format Connectivity

Each BNC connection on the Corvid 44 can be programmatically configured as either an input or an output. This allows for diverse workflows where each channel supports a different video format, provided they share the same clock timing. For high-resolution demands, connections can be linked to support dual-link or 4K/UltraHD formats at high frame rates up to 60p, ensuring smooth motion for demanding visual tasks.

Real-Time AR and Virtual Production

Optimized for modern workflows, the Corvid 44 offers robust support for Unreal Engine. Capture real-time SDI footage and integrate it seamlessly into virtual environments for augmented reality (AR) and live broadcast. This capability allows digital filmmakers to view full composites live on set, reducing the need for reshoots and improving performance accuracy within virtual spaces.

Professional Synchronization and Control

The card features a switchable LTC/Reference input on the back, with an additional internal LTC header for expanded reference options. A built-in RS-422 connection enables frame-accurate ingest and layoffs by controlling external devices directly from the card.
