SDI I/O

• SDI connections are bidirectional
  • 2K/HD, capture and monitoring is simultaneous
  • 4K/UltraHD with 12G-SDI, capture and monitoring is simultaneous.  
  • 4K/UltraHD with 3G-SDI, all four connections must be used for either Input or Output. 
  • 8K/UltraHD2 with 12G-SDI, connections must be used for either Input or Output. 

Note: When connections are configured for 12G-SDI or 6G-SDI, only UltraHD/4K/UltraHD2/8K formats are supported.

Audio Inputs Digital

• 16-channel, 24 and 16-bit SDI embedded audio, 48 kHz sample rate, synchronous
• 8-channel, 16 and 24-bit AES/EBU audio, 48 kHz sample rate, synchronous or nonsynchronous, internal sample rate conversion (via 4x BNC on breakout cable)

Audio Outputs Digital

Timecode

• LTC timecode input and output (via 2x BNC on breakout cable)
• LTC timecode input (via 2-pin header on PCIe card)
• LTC timecode input (via HD-BNC at PCIe bracket)

Electrical Interface

• 8-lane PCIe 3.0

Machine Control

• RS-422, Sony 9-pin protocol (via breakout cable)
• 9-pin D-connector pinout is as follows:
