Blackmagic Design DeckLink 4K Extreme 12G Capture/Playback Card
The Blackmagic Design DeckLink 4K Extreme 12G features an 8-lane PCIe Gen2 architecture and is one of the most advanced capture and playback cards with 2x multi-rate 12G-SDI inputs and outputs that accept resolutions from SD up to DCI 4K (4096 x 2160) at 60 fps.
This 12G card also supports 10-bit YUV and 8, 10, and 12-bit RGB colour, as well as up/down/cross conversions and 3D stereoscopic output at full bandwidth 4:4:4:4 RGB.
The Blackmagic DeckLink 4K Extreme 12G features a mezzanine/stacked card design that has 4K HDMI input and output connectors on a second daughter card, along with connections for adding two optional optical fiber modules for Dual Link optical fiber SDI input and output. In addition, the card also supports AES/EBU balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA inputs/outputs, analog video I/O, reference input, and RS-422 control via an included breakout cable.
Furthermore, this card comes packed with flexible format and system support for the most popular and industry standard formats such as ProRes and DNxHD, as well as 12-bit 4:4:4 uncompressed video. When working with uncompressed video, all images are pixel-for-pixel identical to the source, without any generational loss.Â
Optical Fiber Connections
The card's design features 2 x optical fiber connections on the daughter card support optional optical fiber modules for Dual Link optical fiber SDI input and output. SMPTE compatible optical modules can be added for up to 12G-SDI speeds, allowing you to choose to connect equipment using optical fiber connections instead of regular BNC copper cables for much longer cable runs, even at 12 Gb/s speeds.
