Blackmagic Design DeckLink IP 100G

Two 100G ports for redundancy

Two QSFP28 ports for 100 Gb/s optical modules allow redundant operation to SMPTE 2022-7 (receiver class A) or connection to two separate 100G Ethernet switches. QSFP28 modules are not included.

IP10 codec for 2160p60

Uncompressed 10-bit 2160p59.94 and 2160p60 video does not fit within the 10G Ethernet bandwidth per channel. The open Blackmagic IP10 codec lowers the data rate of these formats with only 8 samples of latency and minimal FPGA resources, so downstream 2110 IP products can stay smaller and more affordable.

Details for IP video workflows

DeckLink IP 100G is a PCI Express generation 4 card for simultaneous capture and playback of up to eight channels of Ultra HD video in broadcast systems based on SMPTE 2110 IP. It connects via two 100G Ethernet QSFP28 optical ports, which provide full redundancy or connection to two separate 100G Ethernet switches.

DeckLink IP 100G has built-in cooling. It supports GPUDirect RDMA for direct memory transfers between the DeckLink card and the GPU, reducing PCI Express bus load when processing video on the GPU and significantly lowering latency.

The card is designed to work with the highest quality video and supports capture and playback in Apple ProRes, DNxHD and even uncompressed 10-bit video. DeckLink IP 100G connections are multi rate, so they support all SD, HD and Ultra HD standards up to 2160p60.

On the DeckLink IP 100G model, the open standard IP10 codec lowers the data rate of the 2160p59.94 and 2160p60 television standards – with only 8 samples of latency. It is an extremely small codec that uses very few FPGA resources, so SMPTE 2110 IP video products remain affordable.

DeckLink IP 100G supports all popular video software. It is ideal for DaVinci Resolve as an editing and color correction solution in SMPTE 2110 IP broadcast systems. Because the card supports simultaneous capture and playback, you can use live grading in DaVinci Resolve – capture video, correct the color and output it at the same time. The card also works with other editing software such as Final Cut Pro, Media Composer or Premiere Pro, and with the visual effects applications Fusion, After Effects and Photoshop. A Windows WDM driver is also included.
