Tech Specs

The Blackmagic Design DeckLink 8K Pro offers four 12G-SDI connections, each of which are bi-directional for quad link capture or playback. Resolutions from SD up to 8K are supported, making this one of the best cards for cinema-quality video capture.

William George (Product Development) Says:
This card needs a PCI-Express x8 Gen 3 (or higher) connection to the motherboard, meaning it will compete for space with video cards in many systems. It also requires a supplemental PCIe 6-pin power connection and has an active cooling fan, which means this wouldn't be a good fit in a silent workstation. If you need multiple SDI inputs, though, this is the way to go!
