ConnectX®-5 is an Ethernet PCI express adaptor.
Currently, only video input is supported in Reality, which means, AJA video card is also required to get video output. As we recommend installing AJA video I/O on PIC express slot no. 5, ConnectX® - 5 must be installed on PCI express slot 3 as shown in the image below.
