The original DeckLink has become world famous. Great for simple 10 bit SDI only applications, it features SDI in and out, unbalanced AES output and RS-422 remote control with all connections on the rear of the card. The original DeckLink model doesn't need genlock as it provides a stable SDI output for locking decks to the card, eliminating the need for a black burst generator.
