For creative pros in the audio and video broadcasting industries, using the latest high-performance notebook, compact desktop, and all-in-one computers require multiple I\/O ports. While these Mac, Windows, and Linux computers include high-performance Thunderbolt 4 or Thunderbolt 3 ports, they lack PCIe expansion slots to install specialty cards with dedicated bandwidth to each card.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_0\"\u003eMAKE YOUR BROADCAST STUDIO – ECHO II DV DESKTOP\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eComputers such as Mac Studio and other M series Mac computers feature powerful Thunderbolt\/USB4 ports, each individually driven by their own dedicated Thunderbolt bus. To harness this dedicated power, Sonnet has a creative solution — the Echo II DV Desktop — a professional Thunderbolt to PCIe card expansion system that enables you to connect two (up to) full-length (12.28 inches long) PCIe cards at the same time, via two cables. The Echo II DV Module exploits your computer’s full potential, connecting two PCIe 3.0 card slots — each with its own Thunderbolt interface — for you to install two bandwidth-hungry DV I\/O cards in one enclosure.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eNote: For maximum performance with more than one bandwidth-hungry PCIe card, such as the DeckLink 8K, this product requires connection to two Thunderbolt ports on computer.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eWhen your computer has only one Thunderbolt port, you can still use Echo II DV Desktop. Because each PCIe card slot is supported by its own Thunderbolt interface with two Thunderbolt ports, you can take advantage of Thunderbolt’s daisy-chaining feature. Simply connect one Thunderbolt interface to the other using one of the two supplied Thunderbolt cables, and use the other cable to connect to the computer.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_1\"\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTWO VERSATILE PCIE SLOTS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eThunderbolt Desktop Expansion System for Power-hungry AV I\/O Cards\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eSupports Two Full-height, Full-length PCIe Cards, Each at Full Bandwidth\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eTwo x16 PCIe 3.0 Slots\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eUp to Double the Bandwidth for Double the Video Channels\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eSupports Every Single-width Thunderbolt-compatible non-GPU Card\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eView PDF of Supported PCIe Cards\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e400W OF POWER\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt-in 400W Power Supply with 2x 75W Auxiliary Power Connectors Supports Power-hungry, non-GPU Cards such as AJA Kona 5 and Blackmagic DeckLink 4K Extreme 12G PCIe Cards Powers On and Off Automatically with Connected Computer\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQUIET FANS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eDual Noctua Fans Offer Ultra-quiet Operation\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eTemperature-controlled, Variable-speed\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eRated at 17 dbA\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHUNDERBOLT 3 INTERFACE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eTwo Thunderbolt 3 Ports (Two Reserved for Connection to Host Computer)\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eIndependent Thunderbolt Connection to Each Card Slot\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e40Gbps Thunderbolt Interface Offers 3000 MB\/s of PCIe Bandwidth with Thunderbolt 4 computers; 2570 MB\/s with Thunderbolt 3 computers\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with Apple M series and Intel Thunderbolt 4 and Thunderbolt 3 Computers\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eTwo Thunderbolt Cables Included\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eTwo ThunderLok 3 Thunderbolt Connector Retainer Clips Included\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eThunderbolt Bandwidth Diagram\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMAC COMPATIBILITY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eMac (M series) with PCIe Cards That Have Compatible Drivers\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eMac (Intel) with Thunderbolt 3 Ports\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003emacOS 10.12.6+\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003emacOS Sonoma Compatible\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWINDOWS COMPATIBILITY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eWindows Computer with Thunderbolt 4 Ports(1)\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eWindows Computer with Thunderbolt 3 Ports(2)\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eWindows 11 22H2 built 22621.819 and Newer\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eWindows 10\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLINUX COMPATIBILITY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eLinux Computer with Thunderbolt 4 Ports(1)\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eLinux Computer with Thunderbolt 3 Ports\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eLinux Kernel 5.4+\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Sonnet Technologies","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44451009658983,"sku":"210583","price":1199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/sonnet-echo-ii-dv-desktop_210583_1_480650c0-1d09-4c89-b4cb-2f75ebf236db.jpg?v=1787095479","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.mom\/products\/sonnet-echo-ii-two-slot-full-length-thunderbolt-pcie-card-system","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
