DeckLink 4K also supports advanced video and film colorspaces, including REC601, REC709 and XYZ to meet DCI specifications.

Open Compatibility
Only DeckLink 4K supports universally compatible QuickTime, AVI and DPX file formats, so it fits seamlessly into any post, broadcast or feature film workflow. Use it with all your favorite software on Mac, Windows and Linux! With zero latency, it's the perfect companion to NLEs such as Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro and Vegas, guaranteeing instant and fluid response when editing. DeckLink 4K supports uncompressed media for the best possible image quality for precise color or VFX work on any platform. For long form work, DeckLink 4K also supports ProRes, DVCPRO, DVCPRO HD, MJPEG, and more.

Unequaled Image Quality
DeckLink 4K captures and plays back native uncompressed 10-bit SD and 10-bit and 12-bit HD, 2K, and 4K in YUV 4:2:2 and RGB 4:4:4 for the absolute best quality images possible. You get a pixel-for-pixel mirror image capture of the source, without any generational loss or damaging compression.

Exceptional Performance

The blistering 40 Gb/s data rate and extremely low latency of DeckLink 4K's 8 lane PCIe 2.0 interface lets you work quickly, whether you're doing editing, graphics, effects, or finishing. Blackmagic Design Media Express software is included so you can eliminate time-consuming transcoding by capturing directly from SDI inputs direct to DPX files for immediate use in VFX applications.
