DeckLink 8K Pro is an advanced 8 lane PCI Express capture and playback card designed for the next generation of high resolution 8K workflows. Featuring four 12G-SDI connections, DeckLink 8K Pro supports all SD, HD, Ultra HD, 4K, 8K and 8K DCI frame sizes. DeckLink 8K Pro works in 8 and 10‑bit YUV 4:2:2 as well as 10 and 12‑bit RGB 4:4:4 with full Rec. 2020 support, giving you deep color for true digital cinema quality images! In addition, you can work at up to 60 frames per second up to 8K, as well as up to 64 channels of audio. The connections are also bi-directional, so they can be used to capture or playback quad link 8K. Or, you can use them to capture a single or a dual link SDI source while simultaneously playing back another single or dual link SDI source!
This software update supports the release of the new Cintel Scanner 2.
DeckLink Quad 2, DeckLink 4K Pro and UltraStudio 4K Extreme capture and playback devices are used with Slomo.tv Inc.’s sports officiating system, videoReferee®. The system has become hugely popular with broadcasters and sports leagues, including the recent Rio Summer Olympics.
