Ideal for working with SDI equipment, such as Digital Betacam decks, while using analog CRT monitors without an SDI input. DeckLink Pro has SDI input and outputs, and also includes analog component YUV/NTSC/PAL switchable video-out, great for video monitoring. DeckLink Pro also includes genlock input when connecting to large broadcast systems as well as RS-422 remote control. DeckLink Pro includes 4 x unbalanced AES outputs, so you can output 8 channels of digital audio de-embedded from the SDI video output. All connections are on a long 2 meter, 7 foot break out cable so you don't need to purchase any extra cables when building your editing system.
Features:
- Connection to Analog or Digital Video
- Built-in Professional Quality Audio
- Choose Windows XP or Mac OS X
- True 10 Bit Uncompressed SDI Capture and Playback
- Down Conversion and Real Time Effects
- Free Software Utilities Developed to Assist Real World Production Needs
All DeckLink cards have the same powerful features, with only the video and audio connections different between models. There is a DeckLink model specifically designed with connectivity for different types of broadcast decks, so you get only what you need at the most affordable price.
