DeckLink Mini Monitor 4K is a low profile PCIe playback card, featuring 6G-SDI and the latest HDMI 2.0a connections so you can monitor all formats up to 2160p30 from your computer! The SDI and HDMI outputs let you connect to any television or monitor and automatically detect and switch between all video formats. You even get high dynamic range playback and metadata over HDMI, along with support for Rec. 2020 colour space. You can even develop your own custom playback solutions using the Blackmagic Desktop Video SDK for Mac OS X, Windows and Linux! Includes two PCIe shields for both full height and low profile slots.

The new DeckLink Mini 4K models are low profile 4 lane generation 2 PCI Express cards that include 6G-SDI and HDMI 2.0a connections. This means the high quality connections support broadcast quality 10-bit YUV and 12-bit RGB video, along with the latest Rec. 2020 colour and support for high dynamic range (HDR) formats and HDR metadata. Both DeckLink Mini 4K models are fully compatible with the Blackmagic Desktop Video SDK, making them perfect for OEMs or developers that are building custom playback or recording solutions.

DeckLink Mini Monitor 4K delivers better than broadcast quality SDI and HDMI monitoring and playback in all formats up to 2160p30, making it incredibly popular with editing and colour correction customers who work with systems such as DaVinci Resolve. The outputs automatically switch between all video formats, making it perfect for use with televisions, professional monitors and the latest HDMI projectors. In addition, support for HDR playback makes DeckLink Mini Monitor 4K the world's most affordable HDR playback solution available.
