Below is the list of devices that our software can support for SMPTE-2110. If you are looking for IP cards that support SDI or HDMI, check this article.
Note that some of them require a specific version of our software (specially for the newer models). Check the requirements below. Make sure to check the drivers requirements in the tech specs section of each product page.
About thunderbolt expansion chassis - Read me!
The number of channels indicated below is valid when the card is used inside a Mac Pro, when the card is used directly in a PCIe slot of the Mac Pro. If you plan to use the card in a Thunderbolt expansion chassis, you will be limited by the bandwidth of the Thunderbolt connection.
The limits below apply to SMPTE-2110 when the signal is uncompressed. When using the Macnica MEP100 card, and you select to use ProRes as the codec that will transfer in 2110, you will be able to achieve more, but note that currently the card is limited to 8 channels when using ProRes.

* Tested on a Mac Studio M1 Ultra, with drivers "6.26" available in October 2024, with the card in a Sonnet Echo Express SEL and SE I, in macOS Sequoia. Results may differ when using different drivers, computers, macOS versions, and expansion chassis. Contact us before purchase if you have any questions.
** This was achieved using the DELTA-12G-e-h 4i2c card, which has 6 x 12G inputs and 6 x 3G inputs, for a total of up to 12 HD60p inputs, or 6 4K60p inputs. This card is NOT yet available in our hardware bundles, which use the DELTA-12G-elp-h 4c card. Contact us if you are interested in the 12 inputs model.
