Blackmagic Decklink SDI 4K

The DeckLink SDI 4K is a focused PCIe capture and playback card for facilities that need an SDI-only path with top image quality. It has one 10-bit SDI input and one 10-bit SDI output, each spanning SD, HD, 2K and 4K, with 6G-SDI carrying 4:2:2 and 3G-SDI carrying 4:4:4. That makes it a clean choice for grading suites, playout and QC stations where a single high-quality channel in and out is all that is required.

Embedded audio rides the SDI signal, 16 channels in HD, 2K and 4K and 8 channels in SD, and a reference input accepts tri-sync or black burst for locking to house sync. The card installs in a PCI Express 4-lane generation 2 slot on Mac, Windows or Linux computers and is compatible with 4, 8 and 16-lane slots. It carries Blackmagic part number BMD-BDLKSDI4K.
