About this item

The Blackmagic Design DeckLink 4K is an SDI capture card that captures and plays back monstrously large native 4K video that originates from digital intermediate workflows for film productions, or from cameras such as the Red One and the Vision Research Phantom 65. The 8-lane PCIe card features four mini-BNC inputs and four mini-BNC outputs to facilitate capture and playback via single- or dual-link SDI for SD, HD and 2K - and via quad-link (i.e., using all four connectors) for 4K.

Suddenly your postproduction or high-end presentation infrastructure can accommodate video resolutions that are four times as large as 1920 x 1080 HD. The Windows-, Mac- and Linux-compatible DeckLink 4K is perfect for true native 4K playback (at resolutions up to 4096 x 2160) on projectors such as the Christie CP4320. Or output to decks for archiving 4K footage on media such as HDCAM SR tapes. DeckLink 4K includes a breakout cable with RS-422 control, reference and audio monitoring connectors.

Like the rest of the DeckLink line, the DeckLink 4K card is designed to be compatible with the most popular professional postproduction software, including Apple Final Cut Pro, Avid Pro Tools, eyeon Fusion and Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects and Photoshop. DeckLink cards support Final Cut Pro features such as 10-bit rendering, RT Extreme, 16-channel audio and deck control, plus there's support for ProRes, JPEG, DV, DVCPRO, DVCPRO HD and 8- & 10-bit uncompressed video.

For Premiere Pro, DeckLink 4K includes a full suite of plug-ins with deck control and full support for 8- & 10-bit uncompressed AVI and QuickTime files, as well as Motion JPEG and DVCPRO HD, which can all be played back on the same Premiere Pro timeline without rendering.
