Black Magic DeckLink 4K
With four mini BNC SDI inputs and four mini BNC SDI outputs you can connect to any SDI-based device. Each link can operate in SD, HD, and even 3 Gb/s SDI speeds. Use single link or dual link for SD, HD and 2K, and then connect to 4K devices using all 4 SDI links. DeckLink 4K really is a true native 4K solution! DeckLink 4K includes a breakout cable with RS-422 control, reference, and audio monitoring connectors. It also features low SDI jitter for the longest SDI cable lengths. DeckLink 4K is perfect for cutting-edge 4K DLPs like the Christie CP4320 or simply connect to a range of SDI tape decks such as Digital Betacam, HDCAM SR, XDCAM, D5 and DVCPRO HD or 1.5 Gb/s and 3 Gb/s routers.
DeckLink 4K is ready for advanced 3D work because it features build in support for dual stream workflows. Simply connect dual left and right eye sources to the A and B input and output SDI connections and DeckLink 4K will capture to stereoscopic 3D! You can capture direct to two full resolution HD files for left and right eye, or you can use the more compatible interleaved single file stereoscopic capture. Because dual stream is not always compatible with current editing software, Blackmagic Design's Media Express software fully supports capture and play out of dual stream 3D media files for a complete 3D solution!
DeckLink 4K includes support for a massive 16 channels of uncompressed SDI embedded audio, perfect for delivering all audio elements for your master surround, stereo and sub-mixes on one pass. DeckLink 4K features two channels of BNC AES pro audio out and two channel RCA analog out for audio monitoring, so you can use low cost HiFi audio systems for incredible quality audio monitoring!
DeckLink cards include the Media Express deck control software which lets you control a deck remotely via RS-422 for capture and playback of DPX, AVI and QuickTime™ clips with timecode accuracy. Media Express is supported on Mac OS X™, Windows™ and Linux™. To help set up high speed disk arrays for uncompressed 10 bit HD editing, DeckLink includes Blackmagic Disk Speed Test™ software that checks your disk array and gives you an easy to understand speed test with the results in video frames per second! DeckLink cards are designed for anyone who needs a bridge between the 'SD and HD worlds' with maximum analog compatibility for the widest range of video equipment.
