Blackmagic Design DeckLink 4K Extreme 12G - Quad SDI

DeckLink 4K Extreme 12G – Quad SDI is a mezzanine card that lets you connect older Ultra HD and 4K equipment using quad link 3G-SDI to the DeckLink 4K Extreme 12G card. It replaces the HDMI mezzanine card that comes standard with DeckLink 4K Extreme 12G. You can easily swap the card yourself and, once installed, capture or play back video over quad link 3G-SDI straight away. In addition to quad link 3G-SDI it adds a built in hardware down converter for outputting 1080p60 from 12G-SDI 2160p60 sources.

Quad link SDI for older 4K equipment

Fast 12G-SDI and four 3G-SDI connectors on one card – older monitors, recorders and digital cinema projectors with quad link stay in service.

Replaces the HDMI mezzanine card

The card fits in place of the HDMI mezzanine card that DeckLink 4K Extreme 12G includes as standard (pictured). You can swap it yourself; the card works only with the DeckLink 4K Extreme 12G card and requires Desktop Video 10.4.1 or later, which also adds Deep Color support.
