Blackmagic Design DeckLink Quad 2 8-Channel 3G-SDI Capture & Playback Card
The Blackmagic Design DeckLink Quad 2 is an 8-lane PCIe card equipped with eight bidirectional, 12-bit SD/HD/3G-SDI DIN (Mini-BNC) connectors that can be independently configured for any combination of eight capture or playback channels at up to 1080p60. It supports compressed video formats like ProRes and DNxHD, as well as uncompressed 10-bit 4:2:2 and 4:4:4 video, making it perfect for both live broadcast and post-production. Compatible with Mac, Windows, and Linux systems, it works seamlessly with a broad range of software applications. Additionally, Blackmagic's Media Express software is included for those applications that dont natively capture video, enabling you to capture, organise, and manage your media efficiently.
