A low profile 8K PCI Express card with four independent bi-directional 12G-SDI connectors. It supports SD, HD, Ultra HD, 4K DCI, 8K and 8K DCI, including high frame rates. It handles 12-bit RGB 4:4:4 with Rec. 2020 color space and HDR, carries up to 64 channels of embedded audio and, thanks to its low profile, also fits compact workstations running macOS, Windows or Linux.
Every Micro BNC connector can be used as an input or an output. The compact card handles single, dual and quad link configurations.

Support ranges from classic SD and HD formats through Ultra HD and 4K DCI to 8K and 8K DCI – up to 120 fps in HD, Ultra HD and 4K, and up to 60 fps in 8K.
RGB 4:4:4 and the wide Rec. 2020 gamut for grading, mastering and VFX.
16 channels of embedded audio in SD, HD and 2K, up to 64 in 4K and 8K.
Static HDR metadata with HLG and PQ transfer characteristics.
Left and right eye capture and playback as two streams.
Four 12G-SDI Micro BNC connectors support SD, HD, 2K, 4K and 8K in single, dual and quad link with 4:2:2 and 4:4:4 sampling, and switch between 2D and 3D as needed. The small Micro BNC connectors let all four plus the reference input fit on the low profile card; equipment with standard BNC is connected with Micro BNC to BNC cables.
The card works with 8 and 10-bit YUV 4:2:2 in all modes and 8, 10 and 12-bit RGB 4:4:4 up to 8Kp30 DCI, with Rec. 601, 709 and 2020 color spaces. With DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro or Media Composer it is used for capture and for monitoring on professional monitors and projectors.

The card is 180 mm long, weighs 120 g and is cooled by its own fan and heat sink. The 8 lane generation 3 PCI Express interface works in x8 and x16 slots, and power consumption is 18 W. The reference input accepts Tri-Sync and Black Burst.

The software includes DaVinci Resolve, Media Express, Disk Speed Test, LiveKey, Blackmagic Desktop Video Utility and the driver for macOS and Windows, and Media Express, Desktop Video Utility and the driver for Linux. Firmware is built into the driver and loads at system start.
The four bi-directional 12G-SDI Micro BNC connectors and the reference input are stacked on the low profile card.
