Highly quality and robust video I/O for professional applications

This is a highly flexible and robust solution for expanding video I/O with high quality, for those applications that specifically support DeckLink hardware. It's nice that you can use any of the channels as input or output as needed, or pair them up for alpha keying if needed. In my case, I needed it to allow ProPresenter to address multiple, concurrent output screens and it has been 100% solid in that application.

Mac mini monitor expansion made possible.

Works great with the Sonnet Echo Express SE IIIe. I use it with Propresenter 7 to get 4 monitor outputs from a Mac mini.

Great for Houses of Worship

Great product. I used it for my church presentation computer (ProPresenter). It was a little tricky figuring out which output is which (nothing is labelled on it). But once I got that figured out- it performed flawlessly.

Great addition to iMac with external Thunderbolt 3 chassis

We installed this card into a thunderbolt 3 external pcie chassis and connected to an iMac running Propresenter 7 for 4 SDI outputs into our video switcher, projector screens and stage displays at church. Works great. Easy to use and seamless integration with the iMac and Pro7.

Devil is in the details; drivers vs OS requirements

Perfect addition to my video graphics server. Would’ve given 5 stars, but it took some time on the install to figure out that the minimum OS required for capture card was Mojave, so needless equipment trouble shooting was required to operate correctly. That is more of a manual issue than a product performance one.
