BDLKS4K - General Description

DeckLink 4K has the power of SDI capture and playback that now supports SD, HD, 2K and 4K. That's incredible quality unmatched in the industry. Now you can afford to do the highest quality video post production and full uncompressed 4K resolution feature film work!

DeckLink 4K is future-proofed by design with support for all SDI formats, as well as a wide range of color spaces. Instantly switch between SD, HD, 2K and 4K so you can do any kind of work imaginable. DeckLink 4K also supports advanced video and film colorspaces, including REC601, REC709 and XYZ to meet DCI specifications. When you need the highest quality possible, you can even work in native 2K or 4K before down resolution converting to HD deliverables. With native 4K becoming more widely used for delivery, you'll be perfectly positioned to pass on full quality 4K masters with DeckLink 4K

DeckLink 4K is ready for advanced 3D work because it features build in support for dual stream workflows. Simply connect dual left and right eye sources to the A and B input and output SDI connections and DeckLink 4K will capture to stereoscopic 3D

With four mini BNC SDI inputs and four mini BNC SDI outputs you can connect to any SDI-based device. Each link can operate in SD, HD, and even 3 Gb/s SDI speeds. Use single link or dual link for SD, HD and 2K, then connect to 4K devices using all 4 SDI links

DeckLink 4K includes support for a massive 16 channels of uncompressed SDI embedded audio, perfect for delivering all audio elements for your master surround, stereo and sub-mixes on one pass

Only DeckLink 4K supports universally compatible QuickTime, AVI and DPX file formats, so it fits seamlessly into any post, broadcast or feature film workflow. Use it with all your favorite software on Mac, Windows and Linux! With zero latency, it's the perfect companion to NLEs such as Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro and Vegas, guaranteeing instant and fluid response when editing. DeckLink 4K supports uncompressed media for the best possible image quality for precise color or VFX work on any platform. For long form work, DeckLink 4K also supports ProRes, DVCPRO, DVCPRO HD, MJPEG, and more

DeckLink 4K captures and plays back native uncompressed 10-bit SD and 10-bit and 12-bit HD, 2K, and 4K in YUV 4:2:2 and RGB 4:4:4 for the absolute best quality images possible. You get a pixel-for-pixel mirror image capture of the source, without any generational loss or damaging compression. That means every bit of every pixel from the SDI input is retained unchanged, perfect for DaVinci Resolve color correction. Create the sharpest VFX plates for match moving, compositing, and more. With all of the raw uncompressed data available to you, there's no limit to your creativity!

Exceptional Performance

The blistering 40 Gb/s data rate and extremely low latency of DeckLink 4K's 8 lane PCIe 2.0 interface lets you work quickly, whether you're doing editing, graphics, effects, or finishing. Blackmagic Design Media Express software is included so you can eliminate time-consuming transcoding by capturing directly from SDI inputs direct to DPX files for immediate use in VFX applications. DeckLink 4K is the perfect solution for real time preview from motion graphic applications such as After Effects and Nuke, or even Adobe Photoshop for live paint. With 8 lane Gen 2 PCIe performance, you have a true advanced DI solution!

Now 4K technology does not need to be a complex engineering solution that's only used in the largest Hollywood post production facilities, because DeckLink 4K plugs into any supported Mac, Windows or Linux computer! Just connect the single slot PCI card and you get an unbeatable video production solution that supports all video formats and is easy to use. You get full support for popular software and DeckLink 4K supports virtually every television standard that exists! If you're interested in creating your own custom software solutions, we even include a developer SDK, DirectShow filters and QuickTime API
