IT's an all in one bundle, you'll receive the card, the sonnet chassis and the license. All you'll need to do is connect the Thunderbolt cable, plug in the dongle and immediately start ingesting eight HD channels or four 4K Channels (check the tech specs page to know the limitations depending on the format and computer) at a cost significantly less than other multichannel solutions.
