Blackmagic Decklink 8K Pro G2

The DeckLink 8K Pro G2 is a PCIe capture and playback card that carries four bidirectional 12G-SDI connections plus HDMI 2.1, covering every standard from SD and HD through Ultra HD, 4K and 8K on a single card. The four SDI ports can be assigned as inputs or outputs in any combination, so one card can ingest several feeds, play several back, or handle 8K over a quad-link path. It works up to 120 frames per second in HD and 4K and up to 60 frames per second in 8K.

Image quality runs to 8 and 10-bit YUV 4:2:2 and 10 and 12-bit RGB 4:4:4 with full Rec. 2020 color, and the four 12G-SDI connections carry up to 64 channels of embedded audio. Using the free DeckLink SDK you can configure up to four independent video streams in any direction and format up to 4K DCI 60p for true multi-channel work. The card installs in a PCI Express 8-lane generation 3 slot and is compatible with 8 and 16 lane slots. It ships as Blackmagic part number BMD-BDLKHCPRO8K12GG2.
