Bridge Traditional SDI and Modern IP Workflows with Ease
Step into the future of broadcast without leaving your essential equipment behind. The Blackmagic Design DeckLink IP/SDI HD is the ultimate capture and playback card designed to seamlessly integrate traditional 3G-SDI hardware with modern SMPTE 2110 IP-based systems. This powerful, low-profile PCIe card is the perfect solution for broadcasters, post-production houses, and system integrators looking to build flexible, future-proof, and incredibly secure video workflows. Whether you're upgrading an entire facility or adding IP capabilities to an existing SDI studio, the DeckLink IP/SDI HD provides the reliable bridge you need.
At its core, the card is built on the SMPTE ST2110 standard, which revolutionizes how video, audio, and ancillary data are managed over IP networks. Unlike older standards, ST2110 transports each element as an independent stream, offering unparalleled flexibility and efficiency. With support for multicast, you can distribute a single source to multiple destinations simultaneously, dramatically reducing network load and simplifying your infrastructure. The DeckLink IP/SDI HD handles uncompressed video (ST2110-20), audio (ST2110-30), ancillary data (ST2110-40), and precise traffic shaping (ST2110-21), all synchronized to a common PTP clock for perfect timing across your entire network.
In today's connected environment, network security is paramount. The DeckLink IP/SDI HD introduces an innovative built-in Video Firewall, a critical feature that isolates your IP video network from potential threats. All video and audio data are transferred directly to onboard frame buffers, completely bypassing the host computer's general network stack. This hardware-level isolation makes it impossible for rogue software or hackers on the computer to access the secure 2110 IP network, giving you total peace of mind. Combined with a high-speed 4-lane PCIe interface that ensures low-latency performance even in compact, low-cost computers, the DeckLink IP/SDI HD delivers a professional, high-performance, and secure solution for the next generation of broadcast.
