Blackmagic Design Decklink 8K Pro Cinema Capture Card

The Blackmagic Design Decklink 8K Pro Cinema Capture Card is an 8-lane PCIe Gen2 digital cinema capture and playback solution featuring four bidirectional 12G-SDI connectors. It supports resolutions from SD to DCI 4K (4096 x 2160) and DCI 8K at up to 60 fps. The card accommodates 8- and 10-bit YUV, as well as 8-, 10-, and 12-bit RGB colour. Each of the four 12G-SDI connections provides 16 channels of embedded audio, totaling 64 channels. The Decklink 8K Pro is designed for the next generation of high-resolution, high-frame-rate, and high-dynamic-range workflows.

Flexible Format Support

The card offers flexible format and system support, letting you work with compressed video formats such as ProRes and DNxHD, as well as 12-bit 4:4:4 uncompressed video. When working with uncompressed video, all images are pixel-for-pixel identical to the source without any generational loss. This lets you get sharper keying with green screens, cleaner compositions, superior colour correction, and more. Support for common file formats provides ready-to-edit files for use in popular editing, effects, and design software applications. DeckLink Studio 4K is compatible with Mac, Windows, and Linux based workstations.
