Blackmagic Design MULTIBRPRO2 DeckLink PCI Capture Specifications

About Blackmagic Design MULTIBRPRO2 DeckLink PCI Capture

The Blackmagic Design Decklink Multibridge Pro 2 features a compact 1 rack unit chassis and connects to the host computer via a flexible PCI Express cable. When PCI Express is connected, Multibridge Pro can be used as a capture and playback editing solution with Adobe Premiere Production Premium and Apple Final Cut Studio software. Multibridge Pro can also be used as an independent bi-directional video converter.

When used as a video converter, both analog video and audio conversion is included, so Multibridge Pro is a complete solution for converting analog or HDMI equipment to SDI based broadcast systems. Because Multibridge Pro includes all video and audio conversions, any analog device can be converted to SDI in and out without any additional converters. Conversion solutions utilizing Multibridge Pro are much easier to install and much lower cost than multiple brick converters which broadcasters have traditionally been forced to use.

With support for the new 3 Gb/s SDI connections, the new Multibridge Pro allows twice the SDI data rate than normal HD-SDI, while retaining compatibility with normal HD-SDI and standard definition SDI equipment. 3 Gb/s SDI allows 4:4:4 video using a single BNC type connection and Blackmagic Design's new 2K via SDI allows high resolution, real time 24 fps 2048 x 1556 feature film editing.
