soundiesam Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Hi all, not strictly an industry thing but someone may be able to help. I have been given a PCIE Black magic output card and my computer had PCI slots I was just wondering if there was such a thing as a PCIE caddy that I could connect to my computer to run this card? sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallin6228 Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Yes, it's just a PCI to PCIE converter a quick google search brings lots of suppliers back. Nick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalljoshua Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Only issue being that PCI doesn't have anywhere near the bandwidth that PCI Express has, it's likely that you'll not be able to get graphics output working reasonably. Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundiesam Posted October 15, 2013 Author Share Posted October 15, 2013 it doesn't necessarily have to be into a PCI slot I was told that its possible to get a caddy to a firewire port but I cannot find anything... the direct converters would make the card sit to high in the computer. sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalljoshua Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 You can get a Thunderbolt caddy, but that's no good to you. Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
