' As is the PCIe card that ships with MojoDx & NitrisDX'

That is incorrect Gary, the Avid PCIe HIB is actually 4x.

The PCIe cards that ship from Matrox & AJA are single lane. As is the

PCIe card that ships with MojoDx & NitrisDX. We just started carrying

a new product called mlink. I'm going to try running Avid hardware

with it connected to a new 27inch iMac.

mLogic mLink Thunderbolt to PCIe Expansion Chassis $399

With the new mLink from mLogic you can now do things with your

Thunderbolt enabled iMac, Mac mini, Macbook Pro or MacBook Air that

use to be the exclusive realm of big iron workstations like the Mac

Pro. mLink and Thunderbolt technology bring the functionality of

professional add-in PCIe adapters to these systems...no workstation

required. Set yourself free.

Wouldn?t it be nice to use your MacBook Pro on set to capture

uncompressed HD or 2K footage? With mLink you can. mLink enables just

about any half-length PCIe card to be attached to any Thunderbolt

enabled computer. How about connecting to a 10 GigE network with your

iMac? No problem.

Swap. Go.

We made it easy to install and swap PCIe adapters in to and out of

mLink. In no time at all, you are good to go and doing things that

were simply not doable before mLink.

Thunderbolt I/O. Ultrafast performance.

Thunderbolt technology enables mLink to transfer data at up to 10

Gbps. That's 20x faster than USB 2.0 and 12x faster than FireWire 800!

When loaded with a PCIe RAID adapter mated to eight SATA II drives,

mLink cranks out over 700 MB/second of throughput for the most

demanding applications. That's some serious performance.

Big Possibilities. Small form factor.

Two 10 Gbps Thunderbolt ports enable mLink to support a daisy-chain of

up to six Thunderbolt devices including DisplayPort, DVI, HDMI, Mini

DisplayPort and VGA displays (when using mDP adapters). And all this

flexibility packaged in a compact and light weight chassis that

seamlessly blends in to any desktop workflow and makes mobile

applications a breeze.
