This chapter contains a list of supported video devices to record in SD, HD, or UHD. When using a Thunderbolt device from AJA or Blackmagic Design or when using PCIe chassis connected via Thunderbolt, please beware of the technical bandwidth limitations (especially when working with UHD signals).

Thunderbolt PCIe Speed

  • Thunderbolt 3: 16 Gbps

  • Thunderbolt 4: 32 Gbps

Please get in contact with us, when planning a Thunderbolt based ingest/recording setup.

We recommend providing a continuously stable signal during your recording processes, otherwise, the ingest process may be interrupted, and the recorded files may not be usable. To stabilize the signal in advance (= before it is sent to the video card input) please use a Frame Synchroniser.

AJA

Please make sure that you have AJA driver v.16.2 or newer installed on your system running just:in mac.

Blackmagic Design

Please make sure that you have BMD driver v.12.3 or newer installed on your system running just:in mac v.5.5.
