Blackmagic Design DeckLink Duo 2 Mini Capture and Playback Card

Effortlessly ingest and play back high-resolution video and audio for digital signage, real-time capture, or media player applications with the DeckLink Duo 2 Mini from Blackmagic Design. This low-profile PCIe card boasts four bidirectional mini BNC SDI inputs/outputs, featuring multi-rate connections that accept 3G/HD/SD-SDI signals and support resolutions from SD to HD 1080p60. The DeckLink Duo 2 Mini also includes a reference input and accommodates 16 channels of 48 kHz 24-bit audio for comprehensive audio-visual performance.

The DeckLink Duo 2 Mini offers flexible format and system support, letting you work with popular compressed video formats such as ProRes, AVCHD, XDCAM, and DNxHD, as well as up to 12-bit 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. The DeckLink Duo 2 Mini is compatible with macOS, Windows, and Linux-based workstations. Drivers and utility software are included on an SD card for the supported platforms.
