This card handles resolutions from standard definition all the way up to full DCI 8K (8192 x 4320) at up to 60 frames per second. With support for quad-link SDI, dual-link, or single-link 12G-SDI workflows, users can configure the card to meet the requirements of any project. The bidirectional design means every connector can act as an input or output, giving you full control over complex signal routing scenarios.
