Hi Members,

I am currently using an 'AJA Io X3' in my Vmix setup. It allows me to capture 4 video streams from cameras via the Thunderbolt port on my laptop, using SDI. I would like to know if it's possible to use, in addition to my 'AJA Io X3', an 'AJA U-TAP SDI' to add an extra camera through a USB 3 port on my laptop ?

Thanks a lot.

There’s no reason why that wouldn’t work. Although if you need more channels you may have been better off getting a decklink quad 2 and putting it in a thunderbolt 3 enclosure.

Hi,

As said before, there is no reason why it wouldn't work.

In your place, I would add a thunderbolt daisy chain device to the aja

a 2nd aja Io3 or an ultrastudio recorder 3g for example

no tool

thunderbolt devices sometimes have 2 thunderbolt ports. This allows you to daisy chain the devices.

in the case of our friend TV78, an aja io3 + a bmd ultrastudio recorder 3g to have its 5 inputs

as long as you do not exceed the maximum flow rate that the PC's thunderbolt port can support
