Epoch | Neutron. Highest quality 2K/HD video workflows.

In an industry that always demands "bigger and better" Bluefish444 have yet again delivered! This time we have gone one step further, the Epoch | Neutron packs a massive amount of power into a form-factor that defies belief.

World’s most accessible video card

Epoch | Neutron. World’s most accessible video card.

With an all new form-factor, Neutron opens a whole new galaxy of options!

Bluefish444 have compressed functionality of much bigger cards into a low-profile, half-height PCIe video card allowing integration with rackmount, small form-factor, PCIe, or Thunderbolt enclosures.

Form-factor

Epoch | Neutron. Full Height and Low Profile Form Factors.

Neutron comes standard with a choice of full-height shields and connectivity for AES/EBU digital audio, analogue audio and RS-422 machine control, making for ease of integration with traditional workstations and expansion chassis.

Neutron LP has a low-profile shield for installation in low-profile workstations and expansion chassis creating a highly-compact professional video solution.

FREE multi-channel capture tool, IngeSTore

Epoch | Neutron. FREE IngeSTore Multi-channel ingest.

Bluefish444 have developed IngeSTore as a multi-channel ingest tool, which is available FREE with all Neutron I/O cards. IngeSTore allows capture of 4 channels of video with independent format SDI sources simultaneously. Capture to QuickTime, AVI and DVCPRO50/HD codecs for free, with additional codecs available via licensing.

Optional connectivity

Neutron range offers a variety of low-profile and full-height shield options, allowing the same physical hardware to be deployed in any number of applications and inside any number of enclosures or chassis'.

Epoch | Neutron. EB3007B. EB3007C. EB3007F.

Part Number Product Description
EB3007B Epoch | Neutron Full-height: AUX Reference Input
EB3007C Epoch | Neutron Full-height: AES audio I/O / Analogue audio OUTPUT/ RS-422 / Auxiliary Reference Input
EB3007F Epoch | Neutron LP Low-profile: HDMI

Bi-directional I/O’s provide unrivalled flexibility

Epoch | Neutron. Bi-Directional I/O’s provide unrivalled flexibility.

Neutron provides flexibility like no other, with three industry-standard BNC video connectors, each allowing HD/SD-SDI inputs or outputs. Each BNC connector can be any frame-rate and frequency of your choosing.

HDMI 1.4 monitoring

Epoch | Neutron. HDMI 1.4 Monitoring.

Neutron includes a cost-effective HDMI monitoring solution supporting 2K/HD video resolutions. Enjoy simultaneous HDMI & SDI from Neutron.

Maintaining a 12-bit processing pipeline

Epoch | Neutron. Maintaining a 12-bit processing pipeline.

A 12-bit image processing pipeline is standard on all Bluefish444 video cards. This allows 8, 10 & 12-bit SDI video signals to be produced from 8, 10, 12 & 16-bit pixel formats providing the highest image quality available from your source material. A 12-bit image pipe means that 4096 discrete values of red, green & blue are maintained per pixel; that’s 4 times the colour precision of a traditional 10-bit processing pipeline!

Maintaining the highest quality RGB <=> YUV

Epoch | Neutron. Maintaining the highest quality RGB <=> YUV.

Colour space conversion image processing includes a fully programmable 4 x 4 x 33-bit colour matrix, providing the highest quality colour space conversions that are a standard requirement in professional video workflows. The fully programmable 4 x 4 x 33-bit colour matrix reduces colour space conversion errors and ensures the highest quality colour accuracy during capture, monitoring and mastering.

Thunderbolt expansion chassis compatibility

Epoch | Neutron. Thunderbolt Expansion Chassis Compatibility.

Popular PCI Express and Thunderbolt expansion chassis' are designed to be light and portable. Neutron is compatible with them all from the smallest single slot devices right through to much larger multi-slot devices.

Low-latency video keyer

Epoch | Neutron. Low Latency Video Keyer.

Neutron has an all-new low-latency hardware video keyer allowing video layers to be combined in hardware with microseconds of delay. This feature allows animated logos, captions, tickers, etc. to be keyed over live video feeds at full 12-bit precision, and with minimum input to output delay. The hardware keyer can also function as an image pre-multiplier to assist in previewing images with alpha data.

Maximum connectivity

Epoch | Neutron. Maximum Connectivity.

Neutron features additional connectivity beyond the three HD-SDI/Reference INPUT BNC and HDMI output that includes;

  • RS-422 machine control for control of VTR’s and other serial-controlled devices.
  • 8 channels of AES EBU audio INPUT and OUTPUT for 7.1 surround sound monitoring. Capture and playout digital audio signals in crystal-clear quality.
  • 2 channels of Analogue Audio for quick and simple, high quality audio monitoring.
  • Auxiliary Reference INPUT connector frees the 3rd BNC for SD/HD video I/O.

Primary hardware colour corrector

Epoch | Neutron. Primary Hardware Colour Corrector.

When the Bluefish444 programmable matrix is combined with the onboard 1D LUTs, it provides a powerful primary hardware colour corrector. 4 x 1D x 12-bit LUTs on all SDI outputs gives maximum control over lift, gamma and gain prior to monitoring or mastering your precious video assets.

Cross-platform support with industry-leading 3rd-party software

Epoch | Neutron. Cross platform support with Industry leading 3rd party software.

Neutron leverages a decade of Bluefish444 software development. It is compatible with industry-leading software developed by Bluefish444 and by 3rd-party developers using our Windows, Linux and macOS software development kit. Strong partnerships with companies like AdobeAvidASSIMILATENVIDIAAMD and many more allow Bluefish444 to deliver hardwaredrivers and software plug-ins for the creative industry.
