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 Outputs Digital
16-channel, 24-bit SDI embedded audio, 48 kHz sample rate, synchronous
8-channel, 24-bit HDMI 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)
Reference
Analog Color Black (1V) or Composite Sync (2 or 4V) or HD Tri-Level Sync (1V) (via 1x HD-BNC at PCIe bracket)
Reference input is terminated into 75 ohms when Genlock is set to Ref In
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)
