At half the length of a full-size PCIe card, the Epoch | 4K Neutron takes the functionality of a larger card and packs it into a form factor that allows for easy integration with rack mounts, smaller form computers, and portable PCIe or Thunderbolt enclosures.

This model comes with a full-height shield with connectivity for AES/EBU digital audio, analog audio, RS-422 control, and an auxiliary genlock BNC, which are all available via an included breakout cable. An alternative model is separately available that replaces the extra audio support for an extra, built-in genlock BNC connector. Additionally, an 'LP' model is available separately that forgoes audio connectivity or the extra genlock connector for a low-profile shield that increases compatibility with compact expansion chassis.

Featuring three BNC connectors, the Epoch | 4K Neutron supports single-link or dual-link 3G-SDI signals to support DCI 4K (4096 x 2160) and Ultra HD (3840 x 2160) input or output at up to 30 fps. For cost-effective monitoring, the card also features an HDMI output that supports up to DCI 4K at 24 fps and UHD up to 30 fps. Like other Bluefish444 cards, Neutron cards use a 12-bit processing pipeline to maintain the full quality of your source material. Additional features such as 4 x 1D x 12-bit LUTs on all of the SDI outputs, a low-latency hardware video keyer, and compatibility with industry-standard Bluefish444 and 3rd party software make the Epoch | 4K Neutron ideal for a variety of applications and workflows, including editing, color correction, video streaming, production, mobile production, digital intermediate, and image quality control.

FEATURES

Bi-Directional SDI Inputs/Outputs

12-Bit Processing Pipeline

Allows 8-, 10-, and 12-bit SDI video signals to be produced from 8-, 10-, 12-, and 16-bit pixel formats for the highest quality from your source material
4096 discrete values of red, green, and blue are maintained per pixel
64 times the color precision of a traditional 10-bit processing pipeline

4 x 4 x 32-Bit Color Matrix

Color space conversion image processing includes a fully programmable 4 x 4 x 32-bit color matrix
Reduces colorspace conversion errors and ensures color accuracy during capture, monitoring, and mastering

Primary Hardware Color Corrector

4 x 1D x 12-bit LUTs on all SDI outputs gives control over lift, gamma, and gain prior to monitoring or mastering your content
When the programmable 4 x 4 x 32-bit color matrix is combined with the onboard 1D LUTs, it provides a powerful hardware color corrector

Low-Latency Video Hardware Keyer

Allows video layers to be combined in hardware with only microseconds of delay
Enables animated logos, captions, ticker tapes, etc. to be keyed over live video feeds at full 12-bit precision and with minimum input to output delay
Hardware keyer can also function as an image pre-multiplier to assist in previewing images with alpha data
