8 channels PCIe capture and playback card up to 1080p 60

La DeckLink Quad 2 è una scheda video PCIe, dotata di 8 canali configurabili per l'aquisizione e la riproduzione fino a 1080p 60.

Compatibile con il precedente modello a 4 canali, ora offre 4 canali indipendenti per la cattura e la riproduzione e, in aggiunta, altri 4 canali utilizzabili per poter configurare la scheda con un massimo di 8 canali di cattura o 8 canali di riproduzione. Ogni connettore 3G-SDI BNC può essere commutato indifferentemente e in modo indipendente dagli altri tra l'una e l'altra modalità in SD e HD fino a 1080p 60.

Caratteristiche principali
