Description

The Blackmagic Design DeckLink IP/SDI HD is a versatile video capture and playback card that bridges traditional SDI infrastructure with modern SMPTE 2110 IP broadcast networks. Designed for facilities transitioning to IP-based workflows, it features two configurable 3G-SDI connections alongside a 10G Ethernet port, allowing users to capture and play back video through either SDI or 2110 IP systems. This hybrid design makes it an ideal solution for broadcasters, production studios, and media facilities that need to integrate existing equipment with next-generation network-based workflows.

Built for professional video production, DeckLink IP/SDI HD supports two channels of video capture and two channels of video playback over SMPTE 2110 IP, while also providing bidirectional 3G-SDI connectivity for direct integration with cameras, routers, switchers, and monitoring equipment. It supports a wide range of SD and HD formats up to 1080p60 and works with popular production codecs including Apple ProRes, DNxHD, DNxHR, and uncompressed video. This flexibility allows content to move efficiently between acquisition, editing, graphics, and playout workflows while maintaining excellent image quality throughout the production process.

Compatible with leading creative and broadcast applications such as DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, Avid Media Composer, and Adobe After Effects, DeckLink IP/SDI HD fits seamlessly into professional production environments. Its ability to handle simultaneous capture and playback makes it well suited for live production, broadcast playout, content ingest, and post production workflows, providing a practical bridge between established SDI systems and the growing world of IP-based broadcasting.
