xMac Studio/Echo II DV
Professional 3U Rackmount Enclosure with Two Slot Thunderbolt to PCIe Cad Expansion for Mac Studio. Designed for Optimal DV Expansion for Bandwidth-hungry DV I/O Cards.
For many creative professionals, PCIe card expansion is not an option – its a necessity for connecting specialty cards to handle audio and video post-production projects. xMac Studio is a rugged steel 3U rackmount enclosure for securing a Mac Studio with optional PCIe card expansion module in a rack, placing the Mac Studio behind a quick and easy to remove front panel. Sonnet designed the xMac Studio/Echo II DV for pro DV workflow flexibility; a rugged steel enclosure protects the Mac Studio while a two slot PCIe expansion module provides expansion for up to two PCI cards, including bandwidth-hungry cards such as AJA Kona 5 and Blackmagic DeckLink 8K Pro PCIe cards.

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.
Are you a creative pro using one of the latest portable, mini desktop or all-in-one computers in your workflow? By now, you’ve discovered onboard processing power alone is not enough to get the job done.
