More about this product
High Density Ingest
and Output
Each BNC connection on Corvid 88 can be set programmatically as either an input or output and each can support a different video format, provided all format use the same clock timing. Connections can also be linked together to support dual link or 4K/UltraHD formats.
High Frame Rate Support
Corvid 88 supports 4K (4096 x 2160) and UltraHD (3840 x 2160) High Frame Rate (HFR) workflows. Working at frame rates of 48p, 50p and 60p ensure smooth motion for the most demanding 4K and UltraHD applications.
High frame rates are not limited to 4K and UltraHD with Corvid 88, multiple 720p and 1080p HD inputs and outputs are also supported at frame rates up to 50p and 60p, making Corvid 88 extremely flexible for your current and future needs.
AJA Control Room Metadata Toolset
Metadata is the key for managing advanced workflows. The AJA Control Room Metadata Toolset works with most SDI signals that contain metadata like SCTE-104, Dolby Vision metadata, etc. Metadata can be captured and exported to a sidecar file.
- AJA Control Room can export the metadata synchronized with the media on a per-frame basis.
