MAXDV Performance via Thunderbolt 5
Rackmount 2-slot Dual Thunderbolt 5 Interface to PCIe Card Expansion System for Computers with Thunderbolt or USB4 Ports
Create a Broadcast Studio in a 2U Rack Space
Run Two High-bandwidth Cards at Full 6000 MB/s - Simultaneously. Do you use one of the hot new laptops or mini desktops with ultra-high-performance Thunderbolt 5 ports in your creative pro workflow? Without PCIe expansion slots, those computers' onboard processing power alone is probably not enough to get your job done. You still need the specialty cards that add needed video and audio I/O, transcode data, and connect to high-speed networks and shared storage.
Sonnet Echo II DV T5 Rackmount eliminates the limitation. This professional Thunderbolt 5 to PCIe card expansion system connects two full-length, single-width PCIe cards to your computer, each to a separate Thunderbolt port for maximum bandwidth to each card - it's the ultimate solution for connecting cards with high bandwidth requirements.
Dual Thunderbolt 5 Interfaces: Double the Dedicated Bandwidth
Connect DV I/O or Other Bandwidth-hungry PCIe Cards
Dual Thunderbolt 5 Interfaces for Maximum Bandwidth
Full 6000 MB/s PCIe Bandwidth to Each Slot
Connect Echo II DV T5 to Two Thunderbolt 5 Ports on Your Computer for Maximum DV Performance
2x 6000 MB/s: Specially Designed to Support Maximum Performance from Two Cards
Two PCIe 4.0 Card Slots. Dual Thunderbolt 5 Interfaces for Double the Bandwidth.
Some of the latest computers - including MacBook Pro (M4 Pro/M4 Max) , Mac mini (M4 Pro), Mac Studio (M3 Ultra/M4 Max), and select Windows PCs - offer multiple Thunderbolt 5 ports, each with its own independent bus delivering 6000 MB/s of PCIe bandwidth. Echo II DV T5 Rackmount is designed to fully exploit that speed. Instead of sharing bandwidth across slots, it uses a dedicated Thunderbolt 5 interface for each slot, delivering full PCIe bandwidth to both cards at the same time. This means you can run two high-demand PCIe cards at full performance simultaneously - perfect for DV I/O, ultra-fast NVMe storage, and multi-port 10 and 25Gb Ethernet workflows.
2x the Bandwidth!: Separate Thunderbolt 5 Interface for Each Card Slot
Echo II DV T5 provides full Thunderbolt PCIe bandwidth to each slot when connected to two computer Thunderbolt ports that also provide independent PCIe bandwidth - 6000 MB/s with Thunderbolt 5 computers, and 2880 MB/s with Thunderbolt 4 and 3 computers.
Dual Thunderbolt 5 Ports Connection Option for Maximum Performance
Connect Two DV I/O or Other High-bandwidth Cards Directly to Two Thunderbolt 5 Ports On Your Computer for Full 6000 MB/s PCIe Bandwidth to Each Card
Full 6000 MB/s Bandwidth with M4 Pro, M4 Max, and M3 Ultra Macs and a few pro Thunderbolt 5 PCs
2880 MB/s Bandwidth with Intel Macs, and PCs with Thunderbolt 4 (40 Gbps) Ports
Single Thunderbolt Port Connection Option
Also Works with Computers with Only One Available Thunderbolt Port to Support Two Cards
Only One Available Thunderbolt Port? Or, Does Your Computer Only Have USB4 Ports?
Daisy Chain the Thunderbolt Interfaces to Connect Two PCIe Cards Via One Cable
Because each PCIe card slot's Thunderbolt 5 interface includes two Thunderbolt ports, you can connect the interfaces to each other to enable Echo II DV T5 Rackmount to plug in to your computer with a single Thunderbolt cable.
