FAQs
Q: Is the DeckLink 4K Extreme 12G a multi-channel card? Can I capture from two cameras simultaneously?
A: No — the card supports only one video input signal at a time. It has two 12G-SDI connectors, but these are used for a single video stream (dual-link, key/fill, or 3D stereoscopic), not for two independent camera feeds.
Q: Does this card support HDR workflows?
A: Yes. It supports 10-bit YUV and up to 12-bit RGB with full color-bandwidth 4:4:4, and is compatible with wide color-space standards such as Rec. 2020.
Q: What video formats and resolutions does it support?
A: It supports SD, HD, 2K, Ultra HD (UHD), and DCI 4K (4096×2160) up to 2160p60 (4K 60fps). It also supports single-link and dual-link SDI (4:2:2 or 4:4:4), HDMI, analog component, S-Video or composite (via breakout), and optional optical-fiber modules.
Q: What types of audio/video I/O does the card have?
A: Video I/O includes 2 × 12G-SDI inputs, 2 × 12G-SDI outputs, HDMI input/output, analog component video, S-Video or composite via switchable BNC breakout, and optional optical-fiber SDI. Audio I/O includes balanced analog XLR (2 channels), AES/EBU, embedded SDI audio (up to 16 channels), embedded HDMI audio, and full analog/video breakout via the included cable.
Q: What PCIe slot / interface does the card require?
A: The card is an 8-lane PCIe (x8) device compatible with PCIe Gen2/Gen3, and it works in x8 or x16 slots.
Q: Can it perform up/down/cross-conversion and stereoscopic (3D) output?
A: Yes — it includes built-in up/down/cross conversion and supports 2D/3D stereoscopic output at full color-bandwidth (4:4:4 RGB) where supported.
