Turn your Thunderbolt-equipped laptop or PC into a professional video workstation. The AVMatrix Docking Station is a high-speed Thunderbolt to PCIe expansion chassis that allows you to install PCIe capture or playback cards, enabling video input/output via Thunderbolt.

The AVMatrix Docking Station is a Thunderbolt-to-PCIe compatible expansion chassis designed to bridge the gap between high-performance PCIe video cards and modern Thunderbolt-equipped laptops or desktop PCs. Traditionally, professional video capture and playback devices require PCIe slots, which are typically only available in desktop towers. The Docking Station offers a compact and efficient solution to make these powerful tools accessible to users with Thunderbolt 3 or 4 ports.

Compatible with AVMatrix capture/playback cards such as the VC41, VC42, VC12-4K, VP30, and VP51, as well as PCIe cards from other manufacturers, the Docking Station allows you to turn your Thunderbolt-connected system into a full-featured video workstation. Simply install your preferred PCIe card into the box and connect it via a Thunderbolt cable to start capturing or outputting video.

More than just an expansion chassis, it is a versatile docking station:

• Two Thunderbolt ports support 40Gbps ultra-speed transmission and daisy-chaining of additional devices.

• A DisplayPort (DP) output allows for seamless desktop screen extension, including daisy-chain support for multiple monitors.

• A USB 3.0 port extends connectivity for peripheral devices like keyboards, mice, or storage.

All Docking Station models share the same frame and design—the only difference in the TB-C41, TB-C42, TB-C12-4K, TB-P30, and TB-P51 variants is the pre-installed PCIe card. This version of the Docking Station comes without a card, offering full flexibility to install the card of your choice.

Whether you're building a mobile production setup, upgrading your editing suite, or looking for a compact solution for high-speed video data transfer, the AVMatrix Docking Station delivers flexibility, speed, and reliability—all in one sleek enclosure.
