Sonnet Echo II DV Desktop Thunderbolt 5

Desktop 2-slot Dual Thunderbolt 5 Interface to PCIe Card Expansion System for Computers with Thunderbolt or USB4 PortsRun Two High-Bandwidth Cards at Full 6000 MB/s – SimultaneouslyAre you a creative pro using one of the hot new laptops or mini desktops with ultra-high-performance Thunderbolt™ 5 ports in your workflow? They offer tremendous onboard processing power but don’t have the PCIe slots you need for connecting adapter cards to add specialized ports and processing capabilities critical to your workflow.Sonnet Echo™ II DV T5 Desktop overcomes the no-slots limitation. This pro Thunderbolt 5 to PCIe card expansion system enables you to connect two full-length single-width PCIe cards to your computer each to a separate Thunderbolt port for maximum bandwidth to each card — it’s the ultimate solution for connecting cards with high bandwidth requirements.Dual Thunderbolt 5 Interfaces• Connect DV I/O or Other Bandwidth-hungry PCIe Cards• Dual Thunderbolt 5 Interfaces for Maximum Bandwidth• Full 6000 MB/s PCIe Bandwidth to Each SlotEngineered to Support Maximum Performance from Two CardsTwo PCIe 4.0 Card Slots. Dual Thunderbolt 5 Interfaces for Double the Bandwidth.Some of the latest computers - including MacBook Pro (M4 Pro/M4 Max) Mac mini (M4 Pro) Mac Studio (M3 Ultra/M4 Max) and select Windows PCs — offer multiple Thunderbolt 5 ports each with its own independent bus delivering 6000 MB/s of PCIe bandwidth. Echo II DV T5 Desktop is designed to fully tap into that speed. Instead of sharing bandwidth across slots it uses a dedicated Thunderbolt 5 interface for each slot delivering full PCIe bandwidth to both cards at the same time. This means you can run two high-demand PCIe cards at full performance simultaneously — perfect for DV I/O ultra-fast NVMe storage and multi-port 10 and 25Gb Ethernet workflows.Separate Thunderbolt 5 Interface for Each Card SlotEcho II DV T5 provides full Thunderbolt PCIe bandwidth to each slot when connected to two computer Thunderbolt ports that also provide independent PCIe bandwidth — 6000 MB/s with Thunderbolt 5 computers and 2880 MB/s with Thunderbolt 4 3 and USB4 computers.Dual Thunderbolt 5 Ports Connection Option for Maximum PerformanceConnect Two DV I/O or Other High-bandwidth Cards Directly to Two Thunderbolt 5 Ports On Your Computer for Full 6000 MB/s PCIe Bandwidth to Each Card.Single Thunderbolt Port Connection OptionAlso Works with Computers with Only One Available Thunderbolt Port to Support Two Cards.Only One Available Thunderbolt Port?Or Does Your Computer Only Have USB4 Ports?Daisy Chain the Thunderbolt Interfaces to Connect Two PCIe Cards Via One Cable Because each PCIe card slot’s Thunderbolt 5 interface includes two Thunderbolt ports you can connect the interfaces to each other to enable Echo II DV T5 Desktop to plug in to your computer with a single Thunderbolt cable.Two PCIe 4.0 Slots and Power to SpareEcho II DV T5 Desktop features two x16 PCIe slots with support for a wide variety of cards. For power-hungry cards Echo II DV T5 integrates a universal 400W power supply and includes dual 75W auxiliary power connectors (one for each card slot) for cards that require extra power including AJA Kona 5 Blackmagic DeckLink 8K Pro G2 (with main board [SDI ports] only) and Avid Pro Tools HDX. Designed without a power switch Echo II DV T5 powers on and off automatically with the connected computer saving energy in the long run. With no power switch you can’t forget to turn off the system!Supports Thunderbolt Compatible Single-width Non-GPU CardsEcho II DV T5 Desktop supports Thunderbolt compatible single-width non-GPU PCIe 4.0 3.1 2.0 and 1.1 cards including video capture streaming and transcoding; SSD storage; audio DSP; multi-port 10Gb and 25Gb Ethernet; SAS or SATA host bus adapter; and other specialty types.Not sure if a card you own or are considering is compatible? We’ve put together a compatibility list that identifies many cards conforming to Thunderbolt technology requirements and organized by fit and power compatibility with specific expansion systems.Ultra-quiet OperationRated at 17dBAEcho II DV T5 Desktop can be comfortably used in noise-sensitive environments. Delivering ultra-quiet operation its dual Noctua fans operate at below the recommended 20dBA limit for recording and broadcast studios and spread their noise across a range of frequencies reducing the impact at any one frequency. To further guarantee trivial noise levels the fans are temperature-controlled automatically speeding up and slowing down smoothly as necessary and the enclosure supports optimized airflow over the installed cards to effectively and efficiently cool the system.Light. Rugged. Smart.Echo II DV T5 Desktop system’s lightweight rugged aluminum outer shell securely houses the installed PCIe cards. Because it automatically powers on and off with your computer there is no power switch on t
