The DeckLink Studio 4K is Blackmagic's do-everything capture and playback card, pairing 6G-SDI with HDMI 4K and a full set of analog connections so it can bridge old and new gear in the same edit suite. Built on Blackmagic's Desktop Video 10 design, it adds RGB frame buffers and low latency capture, making it a practical upgrade for older Mac Pro systems as well as current Windows and Linux machines. Because it ships with a full SDK, OEM developers can write directly into its frame buffers for custom integrations. 6G-SDI and HDMI 4K in and out: Supports SD, HD, and Ultra HD capture and playback on the same card. Full analog connectivity: Includes component, composite, and s-video video plus 4 channels of balanced analog audio and 2 channels of AES/EBU audio in and out. Simultaneous capture and playback: RGB frame buffers and low latency support capture and playback at the same time with compatible software. RS-422 deck control and reference input: Integrates with professional deck control and house sync workflows. Full SDK included: Lets OEM developers write pixels directly into the card's frame buffers for custom applications.
