BlackMagic Design’s new PCI-Express DeckLink HD Pro offers 4:4:4 12 bit SDI capture with 14 bit analog video monitoring. It can instantly switch between HD and SD, and can also handle 4:2:2 video as well. It has twin HD-SDI inputs and outputs as well as SPDIF in/out. It can be used on Windows platforms as well as Mac OS.
“We have repeatedly been asked by the high end feature film industry and visual effects post production houses for a very low cost uncompressed high definition dual link 4:4:4 card that also easily handles 4:2:2 video and standard definition,” said Grant Petty, CEO, Blackmagic Design. “Now our customers can afford to install multiple workstations with 4:4:4 video quality, cost-effectively; that’s vital when working on very large creative jobs that involve many people.”
The card is available now and retails for $1,195. For more info you check out BlackMagic’s product page.
