The Avid Artist DNxIV Hardware is a portable capture and output device that offers professional video and audio connectivity with support for DCI 4K and UltraHD workflows. It handles a wide range of formats from 4K to SD over both SDI and HDMI. Supporting Thunderbolt 3 technology, the DNxIV allows even greater bandwidth between host computer systems and Thunderbolt devices. The dual Thunderbolt 3 ports allow you to daisy chain up to 6 peripherals such as high-resolution displays and high-capacity storage. A built-in downstream keyer takes advantage of 4K resolution to provide clean composites.

Featuring four bidirectional 12G-SDI inputs/outputs as well as an HDMI 2.0 input and output, the DNxIV is capable of capturing and outputting 4K signals over quad-link SDI or HDMI. It is also capable of handling UltraHD, 2K, HD, and SD resolutions and supports HDR. When working with 4K content, the DNxIV outputs an HD-SDI down-converted signal on a dedicated BNC connector. This HD signal can be used to output to HD recorders or monitors. Embedded 16-channel SDI and 8-channel HDMI audio are supported as well as analog audio inputs/outputs via a standard DB-25 connection. The front panel sports an XLR mic input with 48V phantom power as well as a headphone jack with volume control. A 4-pin XLR power input is available for powering the DNxIV with batteries or the included AC adapter.
