Basically, you want to capture 4K video outside of your computer and you would also like to render 3D animations into 4K? I do not see where you would need a second 4K capture device other than the Sony 4K Camera to do this. Unless of course, you want to record yourself doing some 3D modeling in 4K. In that case, I found this 4K capture card. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/892446-REG/Blackmagic_Design_bdlkhdextr4k_DeckLink_4K_Extreme.html

 

You will need some pretty beastly graphics horsepower to be able to run the 4K output from your graphics output to the linked capture card.

I understand now... So you want something to allow you to record from that camera straight to your computers hard drive? In that case, scrap what I said before. I believe that the camera records to a media card as stated here

 

 

 

The AX1 uses XQD media cards for smooth, high-speed reading and writing of 4K video and features two XQD media slots.

A relay recording feature makes it possible to lengthen recording by automatically switching between two or more media.

The AX1 is compatible with following types of XQD media cards:

XQD media card S-series

XQD media card H-series

XQD media card N-series

 

So i'd look into buying a XQD media card reader or USB Adapter for your computer such as this. http://www.amazon.com/Sony-Memory-Reader-MRWE80-BC1/dp/B0074AWVPG/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1388304890&sr=1-1&keywords=xqd+card+reader
