MOTU HDX-SDI with PCIE Card - Used
This MOTU HDX-SDI is in great condition and was well looked after by its previous owner. The MOTU HDX-SDI complete with PCIe card turns your Mac or PC desktop or laptop computer into a powerful HD/SD video production workstation equipped with all the I/O you need. For the best-possible image quality, capture uncompressed video via HD-SDI or HDMI with 4:2:2 10-bit colour depth and full-raster 1920x1080 HD resolution. Many cameras feed their uncompressed SDI, HDMI or component output directly from the camera’s optics and imager, before compression, for absolutely pristine picture quality during capture with the HDX-SDI.
If you prefer to edit more conveniently at a lower data rate, use Apple ProRes, ProRes HQ, Avid DHxHD, or the codec of your choice in Avid Media Composer 6.5, Apple Final Cut Pro, or Adobe Premiere Pro. Because the HDX-SDI delivers 10-bit uncompressed video to the computer, you are not limited to a particular codec and are instead free to go with the host-based workflow of your choice, including many popular file-based formats now supported by today’s video editing software. By using a codec directly supported by your editing software, you eliminate unnecessary extra stages of compression and decompression for maximum CPU efficiency and smooth editing.
As you edit, monitor your timeline with pixel-for-pixel accuracy on a large plasma screen via digital HDMI output, with colour-corrected balance on an LCD reference monitor via HD-SDI output, or with the real-world look of a consumer display via analog HD or SD component, composite or S-Video output. Capture and monitor up to 16 channels of audio (analog, AES/EBU or embedded) at sample rates up to 96 kHz. Employ Sony 9-pin machine control for advanced Batch Capture and Edit to Tape operations. Keep everything frame-accurate using time code and video reference.
