Connect to Anything
DeckLink Studio includes highest quality 10 bit SDI video combined with enhanced analog connections to support a massive range of video equipment. DeckLink Studio includes fully independent connections for SDI, analog component, S-Video and composite video. Both the SDI and analog component
connections auto switch between SD and HD, plus there's an extra SD SDI output via a built in hardware down converter for when you're working in HD.
When you're working in NTSC and PAL, you can use the SD-SDI output as a key output! Also included are a massive number of audio connections, with 4
channels of balanced analog audio, 8 channels of SDI audio plus 2 channels of AES/EBU digital with sample rate converters. For a broadcast strength
solution, DeckLink Studio also has RS-422 deck control and blackburst and tri-sync reference input.
Now you can capture and playback to the widest range of equipment, such as HDCAM, HD-D5, HDCAM SR 4:2:2, Betacam SP, Digital Betacam, HD receivers, HDV cameras, televisions, VHS recorders, analog broadcast monitors, mixers and many more!
Other DeckLink SP design innovations include an amazing 6 independent power
supplies in a distributed power management system. This means each analog
section of DeckLink SP can transport delicate analog signaling without
interference from the digital stages in the video signal path.
Hardware Down Converter
If you've ever wanted to monitor in both HD and SD while you work, then you'll love the built in high quality down converter
that's always active on the SD-SDI, S-Video and composite video output connections. This lets you use the main SD/HD-SDI output for HD,
while simultaneously using the SD-SDI, S-Video and composite outputs for standard definition. When working in HD the built in down
converter lets all video outputs remain active in both capture and playback mode, and in all HD video formats! You can instantly select
between letterbox, anamorphic 16:9 and center cut 4:3 down conversion styles.
Incredible Analog Connections
Only DeckLink Studio has enhanced analog connections to make it easy to connect to a wider range of analog broadcast equipment.
You can simultaneously connect to analog component, S-Video and composite equipment, because DeckLink Studio has independent connections
for each. All outputs are always active and will output via the built in down converter when you're working in HD. DeckLink Studio is
the perfect capture card for working with decks such as Betacam SP, as it includes 4 channels of balanced analog audio, so you can
capture and playback all 4 channels of Betacam SP audio at the same time. DeckLink Studio has more analog connections than SD only
capture cards and costs hundreds of dollars less!
True Professional Quality Audio
DeckLink Studio features a massive 4 channels of balanced professional analog audio in and out, as well as 2 channels of AES/EBU
digital audio in and out, for broadcast quality and sample accurate AV sync. DeckLink Studio also includes a sample rate converter
on the AES/EBU input, so you can connect to any digital audio device, from either synchronized or un-synchronized sources. DeckLink
Studio includes 8 channels of SDI embedded audio that are perfect for Final Cut Pro and Premiere Pro's multi channel audio support.
When working with multi channel audio, DeckLink Studio can switch it's analog audio output 3 and 4 to AES/EBU digital audio outputs.
That means you get an extra 2 digital audio outputs for a total of 6 channels of AES/EBU digital audio out! DeckLink Studio is perfect
for 5.1 surround sound editing and multi language digital audio monitoring.

For highest quality digital broadcast workflows, DeckLink Studio includes incredible 10 bit SD/HD-SDI video with low SDI jitter,
combined with AES/EBU digital audio with a high performance linear phase digital filtered sample rate converter. DeckLink Studio also features
a total of 10 on board power supplies to isolate high precision analog electronics from digital noise, so you get pristine quality analog
video and audio. Only DeckLink Studio provides all the quality you need for the most demanding broadcast environments and ensures your work
retains that wonderful film look!
More HD Real Time Effects
DeckLink Studio’s super fast 2.5 Gb/s 1 lane PCI Express connection plugs directly into Final Cut Pro and Premiere Pro's real time effects processing engine.
Unlike FireWire products, you get all your CPU time dedicated to more multi layer HD real time effects. Only DeckLink Studio's high speed PCI Express lets you
upgrade to HD without limiting your HD real time effects! The higher speed of PCI Express easily handles both compressed and uncompressed video file formats,
such as ProRes(Mac), DVCPro HD, JPEG, DV, HDV playback, uncompressed 8 bit and uncompressed 10 bit. 1 Lane PCI Express also allows DeckLink Studio to work in
lower cost computers and is fully compatible with 1, 4, 8 and 16 lane PCI Express slots.
Built in SD Keyer!
When working in standard definition, DeckLink Studio includes the most amazing quality digital internal keyer that lets you key RGBA images over the video input.
That's a total keying solution built right into DeckLink Studio. The built in keyer works great when used with Blackmagic Design's included Photoshop plug-ins,
or even with RGBA animated video software for keying. If you want to perform keying externally, such as an external video mixer, then just select external key
and DeckLink Studio will output the key channel on the SD-SDI output, with the fill channel on the main SD/HD-SDI output.
Compatible with Popular Video Software
DeckLink Studio is perfect for editing, broadcast graphics and digital effects work with built in support for your favorite video software such as Apple Final Cut Pro™,
Adobe Premiere Pro™, Adobe After Effects™, Adobe Photoshop™, eyeon Fusion™ and many more. DeckLink Studio includes plug ins for Photoshop so you can capture and output
frames directly from within Photoshop. Real time playback from Adobe After Effects is supported so you can live preview your animations on your broadcast monitor. For
ultimate flexibility, you can install on Windows XP™, Windows Vista™ and Intel-based Mac Pro systems and instantly switch between 1080i, 1080p and 720p formats in HD,
or NTSC and PAL formats for worldwide compatibility.
Loads of Free Software Utilities
DeckLink Studio's included deck control software lets you control a deck remotely via RS-422 for capture and playback of clips with timecode accuracy.
That's important when working with software that does not have support for hardware capture and playback, such as After Effects and Fusion. To help setup high speed
disk arrays for uncompressed 10 bit HD editing, DeckLink Studio includes Blackmagic Disk Speed Test™ software that checks your disk array and gives you an easy to
understand speed test with the results in video frames per second!
DeckLink Studio is designed for anyone who needs a bridge between the 'SD and HD worlds' with maximum analog compatibility for the widest range of video equipment.
