Blackmagic Design DeckLink 4K Extreme 12G Capture & Playback Card

Advanced digital cinema capture card featuring full-frame DCI 4K input and output via 12G‑SDI! You get dual link multi rate 12G‑SDI connections that work with SD, HD and Ultra HD even in Ultra HD 60p, as well as full-frame DCI 4K at 4096 x 2160 resolution up to 25p! Capture 10‑bit YUV or full-colour bandwidth 12-bit RGB. Includes AES/EBU audio, up, down and cross conversion, plus built in 3D stereoscopic output at full bandwidth 4:4:4:4 RGB! No other capture and playback card supports more video formats and video connections!

Flexible Format Support

The card offers flexible format and system support, letting you work with compressed video formats such as ProRes and DNxHD, as well as 12-bit 4:4:4 uncompressed video. When working with uncompressed video, all images are pixel-for-pixel identical to the source, without any generational loss. This lets you get sharper keying with green screens, cleaner compositions, superior colour correction, and more. Support for common file formats provides ready-to-edit files for use in popular editing, effects, and design software applications. DeckLink Studio 4K is compatible with Mac, Windows, and Linux based workstations.

Optical Fiber Connections

Two optical fibre connections on the daughter card support optional optical fibre modules for Dual Link optical fibre SDI input and output. SMPTE compatible optical modules can be added for up to 12G-SDI speeds, allowing you to choose to connect equipment using optical fibre connections instead of regular BNC copper cables for much longer cable runs, even at 12 Gb/s speeds.
