The BLACKMAGIC DESIGN DeckLink Quad 2 8-Channel 3G-SDI Capture and Playback Card features 8 independent SDI capture and playback channels in a single card!
Fully compatible with the previous 4 channel model, this new model also allows 4 independent capture and playback channels but now also includes 4 extra channels that developers can use for configuring the card in any combination of up to 8 capture or 8 playback channels.
