Blackmagic Design DeckLink 8K Pro
Overview
Description
DeckLink 8K Pro is an advanced 8 lane PCI Express capture and playback card designed for the next generation of high resolution 8K workflows. Featuring four 12G-SDI connections, DeckLink 8K Pro supports all SD, HD, Ultra HD, 4K, 8K and 8K DCI frame sizes. DeckLink 8K Pro works in 8 and 10-bit YUV 4:2:2 as well as 10 and 12-bit RGB 4:4:4 with full Rec. 2020 support, giving you deep color for true digital cinema quality images! In addition, you can work at up to 60 frames per second up to 8K, as well as up to 64 channels of audio. The connections are also bi-directional so you can use them to either capture or playback quad link 8K, or they can be used for simultaneous capture and playback of single or dual link SDI sources!
Perfect for Post Production
Work with any video format and resolution that you need! DeckLink cards let you capture from cameras, decks and live feeds directly into editing, effects and design software applications such as DaVinci Resolve. Depending on the model you choose, DeckLink cards support the complete range of formats used in today’s high end film, television and commercial post production. You get 12-bit RGB support and 4:4:4 image quality for deep color and high dynamic range work, high frame rate support of up to 60 frames per second, stereoscopic 3D and more! There are DeckLink models to support either file or tape based workflows for perfect monitoring in editing and grading suites using professional SDI monitors, HDMI televisions and even digital cinema projectors.'
Highest Quality Connections
Every DeckLink card features high quality connections so you get pristine video and audio along with compatibility for working with the widest range of professional SDI equipment. DeckLink 8K Pro includes quad link 12G-SDI, while other models feature single and dual link 6G and 12G-SDI, or single link 3G-SDI. In addition, some DeckLink cards include a professional analog component, S-video and composite connections, along with 2 channels of AES/EBU and 4 channels of balanced analog audio in and out. All models include Black Burst/Tri-sync reference and serial deck control. The 6G and 12G-SDI cards feature multi rate connections that automatically detect and switch speed for working with all SD, HD and Ultra HD formats. The advanced DeckLink 8K Pro and DeckLink 4K Extreme 12G support additional high resolution DCI formats and higher frame rates!
Unrivaled Video Quality
DeckLink lets you work with compressed video formats such as ProRes and DNxHD as well as 10-bit uncompressed YUV and 12-bit RGB video. When working with uncompressed, all images are a mathematically perfect pixel-for-pixel clone of the source, without any generational loss, so you have the confidence you’re working at the absolute highest quality possible. Get sharper keying with green screens, cleaner compositions, superior color correction and more!
Advanced Technology
Get the latest 6G-SDI and 12G-SDI technology so you can capture and playback in full resolution Ultra HD, 4K or even 8K video, while remaining fully compatible with all SD and HD-SDI equipment! That’s up to 16 times the resolution of regular 1080 HD video at a massive 7680 x 4320 image size! DeckLink SDI 4K and the DeckLink Studio 4K include 6G-SDI, while the advanced DeckLink 8K Pro has quad link 12G-SDI and DeckLink 4K Extreme 12G includes dual link 12G-SDI connections for higher color resolution, dual stream 3D stereoscopic support and frame rates up to 60p!
