Unleash the full potential of 8K digital cinema without compromising on space. The Blackmagic DeckLink 8K Pro Mini is a revolutionary PCIe capture and playback card that packs the immense power of its full-sized sibling into a compact, low-profile design. Engineered for the next generation of high-resolution, high-dynamic-range (HDR) workflows, this card is the perfect solution for professionals working in space-constrained environments like rack-mount servers, broadcast trucks, and small form-factor workstations.
At its core are four independent mini BNC 12G-SDI connections, offering unparalleled flexibility. These connections can be configured to handle a massive range of formats, from legacy SD and HD all the way up to Ultra HD, 4K DCI, 8K, and 8K DCI. Use them for stunning quad-link 8K capture and playback, multi-channel 4K recording, or even immersive stereoscopic 3D workflows. The bi-directional nature of these ports means each one can be individually set to either capture or playback, giving you a custom I/O solution tailored to your exact project needs.
Image quality is paramount, and the DeckLink 8K Pro Mini delivers without compromise. With support for high frame rates and full 12-bit RGB 4:4:4 color, you can work with pixel-perfect accuracy and incredible color fidelity. This deep color depth is essential for critical tasks like high-end color grading and demanding visual effects. Furthermore, its full support for the vast Rec. 2020 color space ensures your work is future-proof and ready for the vibrant, lifelike world of modern HDR content delivery.
