Blackmagic DeckLink 4K Pro

DeckLink 4K Pro is a PCI Express capture and playback card with 12G-SDI for working with high frame rate Ultra HD and DCI 4K formats at up to 60 frames per second. It supports both traditional 2D and 3D stereoscopic workflows, with full resolution deep color YUV and 12-bit RGB 4:4:4 images.

The card has two multi rate 12G-SDI inputs and two outputs with 16 channels of embedded audio, plus a reference input. Because the connections are multi rate, it works with SD, HD, Ultra HD and 4K formats, for film, television and commercial editing, visual effects and color grading.
