Create a rackmount broadcast studio with the Echo II DV Rackmount System from Sonnet. Designed for Windows, Mac, and Linux systems that lack available PCIe slots, its dual PCIe 3.0 x16 slots let you simultaneously connect two full-height, full-length PCIe cards using two cables. Each slot has its own Thunderbolt interface and supports bandwidth-hungry, non-GPU I/O cards, such as the AJA Kona 5 and Blackmagic DeckLink 4K Extreme 12G. Connectivity to your host system is achieved using dual 40 Gb/s Thunderbolt 3 ports, with data transfers that reach as high as 3000 MB/s with Thunderbolt 4 and 2570 MB/s with Thunderbolt 3. Power is provided by an integrated 400W PSU with dual 75W auxiliary connectors and operations are kept cool using dual variable-speed Noctua fans. For greater ease of use, the Echo II will turn on and off with your host system.
Note: 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 your computer.

- Echo II DV Rackmount features dual Thunderbolt interfaces and, for best performance with PCIe cards with high bandwidth requirements, must be connected to two Thunderbolt ports on your computer. Depending on the PC manufacturer, some computers with Thunderbolt 4 ports support each port with its own bus, or may divide bandwidth of a Thunderbolt 4 bus between two ports.
- While the Echo II DV Rackmount features dual 40 Gb/s Thunderbolt interfaces, some Windows computers equipped with Thunderbolt 3 use an PCIe x2 lane implementation of Thunderbolt 3 technology that limits PCIe performance to 20 Gb/s.
