Blackmagic DeckLink Mini Monitor HD

The DeckLink Mini Monitor HD is a half height PCIe playback card for editors who need a proper broadcast monitor feed off the timeline rather than a scaled desktop window. One 10-bit SDI output switches between SD and HD at 270Mb, 1.5G and 3G rates, and an HDMI 2.0 type A output runs alongside it so a grading display and a client monitor can both be fed from the same card.

Sixteen channels of audio are embedded on SDI and eight on HDMI, both at the 48 kHz 24-bit television standard. The card sits in a single lane generation 2 PCI Express slot and works in 1, 4, 8 and 16 lane slots on Mac, Windows and Linux. Blackmagic ships Media Express, Disk Speed Test, LiveKey and the Desktop Video Utility with the driver, and firmware updates travel inside the driver itself.
