Blackmagic Design DeckLink IP HD Recorder

The Blackmagic Design DeckLink IP HD is a powerful PCIe video capture and playback card tailored for 2110 IP-based broadcast systems. It supports dual-channel capture and playback via a single RJ45 Ethernet connection, with resolutions up to 1080p60 in 720p, 1080i, and 1080p standards. The card conforms to the SMPTE ST2110 standard for uncompressed video (SMPTE-2110-20), along with SMPTE-2110-21 for traffic shaping, SMPTE-2110-30 for audio, and SMPTE-2110-40 for ancillary data. The high-speed 10G Ethernet connectivity allows for efficient multicast video distribution and ensures precise synchronization with a common PTP clock, making it ideal for integration into large-scale broadcast infrastructures.

Built for high performance, the DeckLink IP HD leverages a 4-lane PCIe connection to deliver ultra-low latency and superior timing accuracy for real-time applications, such as broadcast graphics, virtual sets, and GPU-driven AI image processing. The card supports 10-bit uncompressed video formats, including ProRes and DNxHD, offering broadcast-quality capture and playback with exceptional color precision for seamless video compositing and visual effects. Its robust security features include an integrated video firewall that isolates video data from external threats, ensuring secure transmission over IP networks. Compatible with all major video software such as DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, and Adobe Premiere Pro, the DeckLink IP HD is a versatile solution for modern broadcast production environments.
