Computer System Requirements

To support maximum performance when using two bandwidth-hungry PCIe cards, Echo II DV requires the following:

• Two connections between the Echo II DV module and the host computer(s) with two Thunderbolt ports with independent PCIe bandwidth.

• For example:

• Mac (M series)
• Windows computer with two Thunderbolt 5 ports
• Connecting each card to a different Thunderbolt computer

macOS Compatibility

• macOS 14+ Mac with Thunderbolt 5, Thunderbolt 4, Thunderbolt/USB4, or Thunderbolt 3(1) ports
• macOS Tahoe compatible

Windows Compatibility

• Windows 11 computer with Thunderbolt 5, Thunderbolt 4, or USB4(2) ports

Linux Compatibility

• Linux kernel 6.6, 6.12, 6.18 (or newer) computer with Thunderbolt 5, Thunderbolt 4, or USB4 ports
