Blackmagic Design DeckLink 4K Extreme 12G with Quad SDI
Elevate your post-production workflow to the pinnacle of performance with the Blackmagic Design DeckLink 4K Extreme 12G. This advanced PCIe capture and playback card is engineered for creative professionals who demand the highest quality and maximum flexibility for high-resolution, high-dynamic-range (HDR) content. Whether you're working in a broadcast environment, a high-end film post-production suite, or a color grading studio, the DeckLink 4K Extreme 12G provides the power and connectivity to handle the most demanding projects with ease.
At its core, the card features two full-duplex 12G-SDI connections, capable of handling SD, HD, and Ultra HD signals up to 2160p60. But its true versatility is unlocked with the included Quad Link 3G-SDI mezzanine card. This daughterboard replaces the standard HDMI 2.0/Optical Fiber output, transforming the card into a Quad Link SDI powerhouse. This expansion enables seamless integration with a vast range of professional equipment that relies on Quad Link 3G-SDI for 4K workflows. You can effortlessly input a 12G-SDI signal and output it as Quad 3G-SDI, or use the four BNC connectors as two independent 3G-SDI inputs and two 3G-SDI outputs for unparalleled routing options.
The DeckLink 4K Extreme 12G is not just about connectivity; it's about pristine image fidelity. It supports 8, 10, and 12-bit RGB 4:4:4 color spaces, along with full Rec. 2020 support, ensuring your HDR projects are displayed with breathtaking accuracy and depth. The card's robust processing handles everything from stereoscopic 3D to high frame rates, making it the ideal solution for feature films, episodic television, and commercial work. It integrates flawlessly with your favorite creative software, including DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro X, Adobe Premiere Pro CC, and Avid Media Composer, becoming a transparent and reliable hub for your entire post-production pipeline. For professionals who refuse to compromise on quality or capability, the DeckLink 4K Extreme 12G is the ultimate capture and playback solution.
