Connecting via PCIe
Blackmagic Design PCIe cards plug into a PCIe slot in your computer. Check the information
printed on your card’s box to determine the number of PCIe lanes your card requires.
Forexample, depending on your PCIe card, it will require a x1, x4 or x8 PCIe slot.
It’s worth noting that you can insert PCIe cards into higher capacity slots than they require.
Forexample, a x4 lane PCIe card can be inserted into a x16 lane PCIe slot, though not the other
way around.
If you can’t find the information you need on the box, you can find the number of lanes
yourcard requires, plus other helpful information about your card, in the tech specs at
