Blackmagic Decklink Duo 2

The DeckLink Duo 2 is a PCIe capture and playback card that behaves like four independent SDI cards in a single slot. It carries 4 bidirectional 3G-SDI connections, each 12-bit and individually configurable as an input or an output, so one card can capture several feeds, play several back, or mix and match to suit the job. It handles SD and HD formats up to 1080p60, which makes it a workhorse for playout servers, ingest stations and multi-channel monitoring.

A reference input locks the card to external blackburst or tri-sync genlock for frame-accurate timing in a multi-camera plant, and video sampling covers 8, 10 and 12-bit RGB 4:4:4 up to 1080p30 plus 8 and 10-bit YUV 4:2:2 across all modes. The card fits a PCI Express 4-lane generation 2 slot and is compatible with 4, 8 and 16-lane slots. It carries Blackmagic part number BMD-BDLKDUO2.
