Blackmagic Design DeckLink IP/SDI HD

DeckLink IP cards are the easiest way to capture and play back video directly into 2110 IP based broadcast systems! They have the same DeckLink features so all your existing software will just work! DeckLink IP cards support multiple video channels plus each channel can capture and play back at the same time. This means you can build racks of servers generating broadcast graphics, virtual sets, or GPU based AI image processing, all directly integrated into 2110 IP broadcast infrastructure.

For connection to both 3G-SDI and 2110 IP systems, this model has 2 capture and playback channels to 2110 IP via RJ45 Ethernet, 3G-SDI and ref out. Supports 720p, 1080i and 1080p standards to 1080p60. DeckLink IP cards conform to the SMPTE ST2110 standard for IP video, which specifies the transport, synchronization and description of video, audio and ancillary data over managed IP networks for broadcast. It also keeps video sources in sync using a common PTP clock. DeckLink IP supports SMPTE-2110-20 uncompressed video, SMPTE-2110-21 traffic shaping/timing, SMPTE-2110-30 audio and SMPTE-2110-40 for ancillary data.

The big advantage of SMPTE 2110 is all video, audio and ancillary data are transported independently over the network. Plus DeckLink IP supports multicast, which is an extremely efficient way of distributing video, audio and data from a single source to multiple destinations.

Features

• 2 channels of capture and playback to 2110 IP
• 2 capture and playback channels to 2110 IP
• via RJ45 Ethernet, 3G-SDI and ref out. 
• SMPTE ST2110 standard for IP video compliant
• Supports 1080p/60, 1080i, 720p

DeckLink IP connections are multi rate so they support all SD and HD formats. Plus the DeckLink IP/SDI HD model includes both 2110 IP and 3G-SDI on the same card, so it can connect to all your existing SDI broadcast equipment, while simultaneously connecting to new IP based infrastructure. Or you can just use the 3G-SDI output for local monitoring.

In standard definition, DeckLink IP supports both 525i59.94 and 625i50 standards. In high definition, DeckLink IP cards support all 720p video standards up to 720p60, all 1080 interlaced standards up to 1080i60 and all 1080p standards up to 1080p60. Plus there is no complex change over as the cards can switch instantly to a new video standard.
