Blackmagic Design
Inc. today announced DeckLink HD Studio, the world's first capture and playback
card to support both HDMI and analog component video, is now available to customers
worldwide. 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 analog
decks and set top boxes. HDMI playback and analog 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.
"We are very excited to make available DeckLink HD Studio to post production
editors who want to take high quality, uncompressed video out of low-cost HDMI
cameras," said Grant Petty, CEO, Blackmagic Design Inc. "As the first video capture
card to capture uncompressed High Definition video from the HDMI output of cameras,
as well as analog component, DeckLink HD Studio creates new, low-cost opportunities
for editors using Macs and PCs for post production."
DeckLink HD Studio takes advantage of the same high end quality technology for
which Blackmagic Design video capture cards are known, including 10 bit capture
and playback, high speed 4 lane PCI Express, and 14 bit digital to analog conversion
for incredible output quality. DeckLink HD Studio also 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 and the entire range of DeckLink HD cards from Blackmagic
Design are the only video capture cards on the market to feature true 64 bit
addressing that eliminates system memory limits, so customers can install as
much memory as they need.
DeckLink HD Studio is fully compatible with Adobe Premiere Pro, Apple Final
