The M|62i is a hardware & software bundle tailor made for Macs with PCIe slots such as the latest 2019 Mac Pro, or in your own Thunderbolt expansion chassis. Simply plug in the M|62i PCIe card into one of the PCIe slots of your Mac and immediately start ingesting and playing out eight HD channels (6 in and 2 out), or two 4K Channels at a cost significantly less than other multichannel solutions.

With the M|62i, you can enjoy all the amazing features of MovieRecorder and the ones of OnTheAir Video Express in a certified hardware and software bundle. We have gathered what we think are the highest quality hardware components in order to ensure the best experience possible.

Recording is done using the included six licenses of MovieRecorder. Video clips captured using MovieRecorder can be edited during the actual ingest, making it very handy for live sports editing for example. Additionally you can schedule your recordings.

Playback is done using the included two licenses of OnTheAir Video Express (upgrade possible to OnTheAir Video and OnTheAir Node). You can create playlists, mix and match codecs. The licenses are provided on a dongle, so it's easy to move your M|62i from one computer to another.

The M|62i is compatible with 4K. You can use either Quad-link or Single link (12G) to ingest and playout 4K at up to 60 frames per second. When using 4K, you can ingest and playout only two channels (even in 12G) instead of 8. You can decide if you want to record two 4K channels, playout two 4K channels or do one of each. Additionally, if you have another video device, you could be using the remaining licenses with video source (on the same Mac).

The M|62i uses the state of the art DELTA-12G-elp-h 2c video card, which hosts eight independent channels that can be used either as inputs or as outputs. Two of these channels supports line rates up to 12G SDI while the others go up to 3G-SDI, allowing the solution supporting formats from SD to UHD. The 9th connector can be used either as a reference signal for playout or as an Audio LTC input for recording.
