Technical Specifications

Description

DeckLink Quad 2 packs eight independent 3G-SDI mini DIN connections into a single PCIe card, giving you unmatched flexibility for capture and playback. Fully compatible with the previous 4-channel model, it expands with four additional channels — letting you configure up to eight inputs, eight outputs, or any mix in between. Each connector can be set to capture or playback independently, in SD and HD formats up to 1080p60. DeckLink Quad 2 — eight channels, total freedom.
