With native 4K becoming more widely used for delivery, you'll be perfectly positioned to pass on full quality 4K masters with DeckLink 4K.
Amazing 3D Workflow
DeckLink 4K is ready for advanced 3D work because it features build in support for dual stream workflows. Simply connect dual left and right eye sources to the A and B input and output SDI connections and DeckLink 4K will capture to stereoscopic 3D!
The Ultimate SDI Solution
With four mini BNC SDI inputs and four mini BNC SDI outputs you can connect to any SDI-based device. Each link can operate in SD, HD, and even 3 Gb/s SDI speeds. Use single link or dual link for SD, HD and 2K, then connect to 4K devices using all 4 SDI links.
Professional Quality Audio
DeckLink 4K includes support for a massive 16 channels of uncompressed SDI embedded audio, perfect for delivering all audio elements for your master surround, stereo and sub-mixes on one pass.
Open Compatibility
Only DeckLink 4K supports universally compatible QuickTime, AVI and DPX file formats, so it fits seamlessly into any post, broadcast or feature film workflow. Use it with all your favorite software on Mac, Windows and Linux! With zero latency, it's the perfect companion to NLEs such as Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro and Vegas, guaranteeing instant and fluid response when editing. DeckLink 4K supports uncompressed media for the best possible image quality for precise color or VFX work on any platform. For long form work, DeckLink 4K also supports ProRes, DVCPRO, DVCPRO HD, MJPEG, and more.
Unequaled Image Quality
DeckLink 4K captures and plays back native uncompressed 10-bit SD and 10-bit and 12-bit HD, 2K, and 4K in YUV 4:2:2 and RGB 4:4:4 for the absolute best quality images possible. You get a pixel-for-pixel mirror image capture of the source, without any generational loss or damaging compression. That means every bit of every pixel from the SDI input is retained unchanged, perfect for DaVinci Resolve color correction. Create the sharpest VFX plates for match moving, compositing, and more. With all of the raw uncompressed data available to you, there's no limit to your creativity!
