High-speed video capture and playback card for 2110 IP broadcast systems, 8 Ultra HD channels via 100G Ethernet with dual QSFP ports for redundancy and PCIe 8x Gen 4 connectivity

Blackmagic Design DeckLink IP 100G is a video capture and playback card designed for IP 2110 broadcast systems and is the top of the DeckLink IP series of four models.

It is a high speed solution for simultaneous capture and playback of 8 channels of Ultra HD video over 100G Ethernet. For complete redundancy, it features two 100G QSFP optical Ethernet ports, allowing for stable and reliable transmission. The card is compatible with all SD, HD and Ultra HD video standards up to 2160p60, ensuring the highest quality for professional productions. It also supports the most common compression formats, including Apple ProRes, DNxHD and 10-bit uncompressed video. Using the 4th generation PCI Express 8x connection, it is compatible with both 8x and 16x PCI Express slots, ensuring low latency and tight synchronization with capture and playback software.

The card features a built in video firewall that protects the 2110 IP network from potential rogueware and hackers by isolating the Ethernet port from any non-video or audio data. It also supports the NMOS protocol, which lets you create virtual matrix switchers to manage video sources and destinations across an Ethernet network.

It works with popular editing and post production software including DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro and Avid Media Composer for seamless integration into professional workflows. The card also includes Blackmagic Media Express software that lets you capture and playback video in a variety of formats including YUV QuickTime 4:2:2, AVI and DPX.
