Thunderbolt ensures low latency and highly accurate time synchronization for the highest quality capture and playback. It also includes an AC power connection, perfect when working in studios. It even provides 45W trickle power via Thunderbolt 3 to the connected computer so it stays charged when connected.
Ultimate Clarity with 4K Resolution

Get the sharpest keying with green screens, cleanest compositions, superior color correction and more.
