AJA Corvid Ultra with TruScale Hardware Card
Overview
Description
The Corvid Ultra with TruScale Hardware Card from AJA is a high-performance I/O and processing engine designed for use with AJA's TruZoom software for working with high-bandwidth applications such as 4K, high frame rate, and stereoscopic 3D. A TruScale Hardware Card comes factory-installed into one of the Corvid Ultra's expansion bays, enabling high-quality conversion and up and down video scaling.
The Corvid Ultra provides four 3G/HD/SD-SDI inputs and four 3G/HD/SD-SDI inputs for working with multiple SD, HD, 2K, or 4K streams simultaneously. It also has an HDMI 1.4 output for sending signals to HD or 4K displays, and analog audio outputs for easily monitoring audio channels without the need for additional digital audio equipment.
Dual expansion bays extend the performance capabilities of the Corvid Ultra. One of the bays features the factory-installed TruScale card, while the additional bay is available for adding additional I/O or second TruScale card. AJA's TruScale technology enables high-quality, arbitrary image scaling. TruScale is real-time and keyframeable, allowing motion video to be efficiently resized while maintaining image quality. It integrates with AJA's TruZoom software and joystick for live scaling and recording.
Please note: TruZoom software must be purchased separately for full functionality of your Corvid Ultra. The software provides the necessary drivers and configuration control to make the Corvid Ultra work.

| Up-Conversion |
Hardware 10-bit Anamorphic: full-screen Pillar box 4:3: results in a 4:3 image in center of screen with black sidebars Zoom 14:9: results in a 4:3 image zoomed slightly to fill a 14:9 image with black side bars Zoom letterbox: results in image zoomed to fill full screen Zoom wide: results in a combination of zoom and horizontal stretch to fill a 16:9 screen; this setting can introduce a small aspect ratio change |
| Up/Down/Cross Conversion |
Hardware 10-bit Anamorphic: full-screen Letterbox: image is reduced with black top and bottom added to image area with the aspect ratio preserved Crop: image is cropped to fit new screen size |
