Unleash Professional 4K Capture in a Compact Form Factor
Elevate your video production with the Blackmagic Design DeckLink Mini Recorder 4K, a powerful, low-profile PCI Express capture card designed for the most demanding creative and broadcast environments. This compact card is engineered to fit seamlessly into a wide range of computer chassis, from full-sized towers to mobile live capture rigs and space-constrained broadcast trucks. It includes both full-height and low-profile PCI shields, ensuring maximum compatibility and flexibility for your custom system builds.
At its core, the DeckLink Mini Recorder 4K offers unparalleled versatility with both 6G-SDI and the latest HDMI 2.0a inputs. This dual-interface design allows you to connect and capture pristine quality video from virtually any source, whether it's a professional broadcast camera or a modern consumer mirrorless camera. The card intelligently auto-detects the incoming signal, seamlessly switching between all SD, HD, and Ultra HD formats up to 2160p30. This means less time configuring and more time creating.
Experience video with stunning clarity and depth. The card supports high dynamic range (HDR) recording and metadata capture over HDMI, ensuring your footage retains the richest colors and a full range of tones. With support for 10-bit YUV and up to 12-bit RGB color, you can be confident that you're capturing broadcast-quality, uncompressed video that's perfect for professional editing, color grading, and visual effects.

Additional charges for customs clearance must be paid for by the recipient; we have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be. Customs policies vary widely from country to country; and when customs clearance procedures are required, it can cause delays beyond our original delivery estimates. We advise that you contact your local customs office for more information.
