AJA CORVID-HB-R Specifications

Corvid HB-R

Expand your application’s reach with HDBaseT and the Corvid HB-R. Using a single Cat 5e/6 cable as
input, the Corvid HB-R receives up to 4K/60p video (8-bit 4:2:0) and 8-channel embedded audio.
It also delivers bidirectional VISCA/RS-232 control plus power up to 10W, and Corvid HB-R provides
full-time looped HDMI 1.4b output of the signal received via the HDBaseT input.
These features also make the Corvid HB-R the perfect desktop and server companion to AJA’s
RovoCam, the UltraHD HDBaseT camera.
