Upgrade Your DeckLink 4K Extreme 12G with HDMI 2.0 & Optical Fiber
Unlock the full potential of your professional video workflow with the Blackmagic Design Mezzanine Expansion Card for the DeckLink 4K Extreme 12G. This essential hardware upgrade replaces the original daughter card on your PCIe capture and playback board, supercharging its connectivity for the demands of modern, high-resolution production. By swapping out the standard card, you instantly gain access to the latest HDMI 2.0 standard and the long-distance reliability of optical fiber, ensuring your studio is prepared for any project that comes your way.
The primary enhancement is the leap from HDMI 1.4b to full-fledged HDMI 2.0. This is more than just a version number; it's your gateway to stunning 4K DCI and Ultra HD video at up to 60 frames per second. Now you can directly connect to and monitor from the latest generation of consumer and professional displays, including 4K televisions and HDR monitors. This makes it perfect for client-attended color grading sessions, quality control in broadcast, or simply getting a pixel-perfect representation of your footage during editing and effects work. The card provides both an HDMI 2.0 input and an HDMI 2.0 output, offering complete flexibility for capture and playback.
Beyond HDMI, this expansion card integrates two bi-directional 12G-SDI optical fiber SFP sockets. This powerful feature allows you to transmit and receive pristine video and audio signals over massive distances—far beyond the limitations of traditional copper BNC cables. Ideal for large broadcast facilities, live event venues, or multi-room post-production houses, optical fiber ensures zero signal degradation. You can send a 4K feed to a projector across a stadium or receive a camera feed from another building with perfect clarity. As a genuine Blackmagic Design product, this mezzanine card guarantees seamless hardware and software integration, becoming a reliable core component of your professional video system.
