The Blackmagic Design DeckLink Quad 2 is an 8-lane PCIe card that features eight bidirectional, 12-bit SD/HD/3G-SDI Micro-BNC connectors that are independently configurable to provide any combination of eight capture or playback channels at up to 1080p60. The card supports compressed video formats such as ProRes and DNxHD, as well as uncompressed 10-bit 4:2:2 and 4:4:4 video, making it ideal for use in both live broadcast and post-production. It is compatible with Mac, Windows, and Linux computers, and is supported by a wide range of software applications. For use with applications that don't capture video on their own, Blackmagic's Media Express software is included, allowing you to capture, organize, and manage your media.
