Blackmagic DeckLink Duo 2
PCIe capture and playback card with 4 independently configurable 3G-SDI connections for flexible multi-channel SD/HD workflows.
1 in stock
DeckLink Duo 2 is a PCI Express capture and playback card with 4 independent 3G-SDI connections, each individually configurable as either an input or an output. That flexibility makes it a practical choice for multi-channel SD/HD workflows — simultaneous multi-camera capture, dual playback and record, or any mix of ingest and monitoring on a single card.
Each of the 4 channels supports 12-bit 4:2:2 and 4:4:4 SD and HD formats up to 1080p60, with 16 channels of embedded SDI audio and Tri-Sync/Black Burst reference input for house sync. Hardware colorspace conversion and software-based HD/cross conversion are built in.
Installs into a standard PCIe 4-lane Gen2 slot (compatible with 4, 8 and 16-lane slots) and draws just 10W, making it an efficient option for edit and broadcast systems that need several independently routable SDI channels without dedicating a full-size, high-power card to each one.
