8K capture and playback at up to 60 fps
The DeckLink 8K Pro G2 supports SD, HD, 2K, Ultra HD, 4K, and 8K. In 8K, frame rates of up to 60 fps are possible, while HD and 4K formats can be processed at up to 120 fps. This makes the card suitable for high-resolution film production, high-frame-rate recording, and professional post-production.
Four bidirectional 12G-SDI connectors
The four 12G-SDI ports can be configured as inputs or outputs depending on the workflow. Using the DeckLink SDK, up to four video streams can be used independently, each with different formats and frame rates up to 4K DCI 60p. Additionally, HDMI 2.1 is available as a video input and output.
