Blackmagic Design has announced that DeckLink HD Studio, a capture and playback card that supports both HDMI and analog component video, is now available to clients worldwide.
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. DeckLink HD Studio can be switched between HD and SD formats.
The card supports 10-bit capture and playback, high speed, four lane PCI Express and 14-bit digital to analog conversion.
