Description

The Blackmagic Design Decklink SDI 4K Capture and Playback Card delivers a single multi-rate SDI input and multi-rate SDI output. These multi-rate connections are compatible with single-link SD, HD, 3G, and 6G-SDI signals, permitting resolutions from SD to Ultra HD 4K (3840x2160) and DCI 4K (4096x2160). In addition, the Decklink SDI 4K includes RS-422 deck control, internal keying, and a reference input.

Decklink SDI 4K provides adaptable format and system support, allowing the user to work both with compressed video formats like ProRes and DNxHD as well as 10-bit uncompressed video. For uncompressed, every image is a pixel-for-pixel carbon copy of the source, without generational loss. This affords superior colour correction, sharper keying with green screens, cleaner compositions and more. No other capture cards support more applications and more platforms than Blackmagic Design’s DeckLink series - you can always work with your favourite software. Support for common file formats provides ready-to-edit files for use in popular editing, effects, and design software applications. As a result, Decklink SDI 4K is compatible with Mac, Windows, and Linux based workstations.

DeckLink capture and playback cards are used daily in professional industries producing television adverts, music videos, episodic series and Hollywood feature films. The highest quality video and maximum reliability is delivered by the most cutting edge in-built technologies.

Capture from cameras, decks and live feeds directly into editing, effects and design software applications. Blackmagic Design’s DeckLink SDI 4K features high resolution Ultra HD, while DeckLink 4K Extreme 12G and DeckLink 4K Pro also include dual link 12G-SDI, 2160p60 support, 4:4:4 image quality, 3D stereoscopic for advanced feature film visual effects, editing and colour correction. There are also DeckLink models to support either file or tape based workflows to precisely deliver perfect monitoring in editing and grading suites using professional SDI monitors, HDMI televisions and even video projectors.
