Blackmagic DeckLink Quad HDMI Recorder The DeckLink Quad HDMI Recorder is a high-performance 8-lane PCIe generation 3 capture card with data transfer rates of up to 32 Gb per second. Equipped with four separate HDMI 2.0 b inputs for multi-channel recording, the DeckLink Quad HDMI Recorder card captures four different video streams at up to 60 frames per second. This allows you to record footage via each of the HDMI inputs in a different video standard or from a computer. You get four capture cards in one. The DeckLink Quad HDMI Recorder is inserted into an available PCIe slot and displayed on the host computer as four separate recording cards.
With the Blackmagic Desktop Video Software Developer Kit (SDK) for Mac, Windows and Linux, software developers can select different HDMI channels for recording. This allows you to record different video streams simultaneously with different software applications. This makes the DeckLink Quad HDMI recorder card perfect for use with live streaming solutions, software production mixers, broadcast servers and more. For multi-channel recording, users can deploy different software applications such as vMix, Wirecast and OBS in any setup. For example, a card user using vMix can simultaneously capture signal input from two cameras, a computer and a game console, and then mix everything live and stream live on the Internet.
However, the highlight is that the DeckLink Quad HDMI recorder card is designed for a single slot. This is ideal for use in low-profile rackmount servers found on many broadcasters in news departments, subscribers and data centers. The four HDMI 2.0 b ports of the DeckLink Quad HDMI Recorder card allow high-quality video to be recorded in either 8 or 10-bit YUV, in 10 or 12-bit RGB up to 4K DCI 30p or in 8-bit RGB up to 4K DCI 60p. The DeckLink Quad HDMI Recorder Card even supports computers and game consoles in 8-bit RGB with resolutions up to 2560x1600 pixels.
