DeckLink IP HD Optical - 3 channels of capture and playback to 2110 IP broadcast systems via an SFP based optical fiber Ethernet connection

3 channels of capture and playback to 2110 IP broadcast systems via an SFP based optical fiber Ethernet connection

DeckLink IP HD Optical is a video capture and playback card designed to integrate into SMPTE 2110-based IP broadcast systems using a fiber optic Ethernet connection via an SFP+ module. The interface is the classic PCI Express 4 lane Gen 2, compatible with PCIe x4, x8 and x16 slots on Windows, macOS and Linux.

It offers 3 simultaneous capture channels and 3 simultaneous video playback channels, each up to 1080p60 with 16 audio channels. It is designed to work with the highest quality video with common video formats including Apple ProRes, DNxHD and even 10-bit uncompressed video.

DeckLink IP connections are multi-rate and support all video standards 525i, 625i, 720p, 1080i and 1080p up to 1080p 60.
