AJA Video Systems recently announced Corvid HEVC, a 4K and multi-channel HEVC
encoding card, as the latest addition to AJA’s Developer Programme. Corvid HEVC is a
PCIe 2.0 8-lane video encoder card providing real time, low-latency HEVC encoding
at 4K, 1080p HD and lower resolutions.
Development partners can use AJA’s SDK to integrate Corvid HEVC directly into
their Windows and Linux applications using a flexible API for a variety of use cases.
In addition to HEVC encoding, audio and metadata are also captured and included in
the encoded file.
