Blackmagic Design - DeckLink IP/SDI HD

DeckLink IP/SDI HD is a professional video capture and playback card designed to integrate with both SMPTE 2110 IP infrastructures and traditional 3G-SDI systems. It is designed for broadcast, post-production, and high-quality workflows.

It offers two channels of capture and playback for 2110 IP via RJ45 Ethernet, two directionally configurable 3G-SDI connections, and a reference output. It is designed to work with the highest quality video in common video formats, including Apple ProRes, DNxHD, and even 10-bit uncompressed video. It supports 525i, 625i, 720p, 1080i, and 1080p up to 1080p 60.
