Blackmagic Design has announced the availability of the DeckLink HD Studio, which the company claims is the world's first capture and playback card to support both HDMI and analogue component video. With DeckLink HD Studio, customers can capture high quality, uncompressed video direct from the HDMI connection on cameras, decks, and video cameras.
DeckLink HD Studio allows capture from HDMI cameras or decks, as well as analogue decks and set top boxes. HDMI playback and analogue playback allows connection to a wide range of video monitors, big screen televisions and video projectors for incredible quality client monitoring. DeckLink HD Studio instantly switches between HD and SD so you can work with almost any deck, camera or monitor.
DeckLink HD Studio also includes 10 bit capture and playback, high speed 4 lane PCI Express, and 14 bit digital to analogue conversion. It features the same uncompressed and compressed file formats used by all DeckLink cards, allowing large storage area network based systems to use shared video files for full compatibility.
DeckLink HD Studio is fully compatible with Adobe Premiere Pro, Apple Final Cut Pro, Adobe After Effects, Adobe Photoshop and any DirectShow or QuickTime based software application.
