Overview
Extreme connectivity
Featuring the highest quality 10 bit uncompressed SDI video connections,
DeckLink Extreme is the perfect solution for connecting to high end broadcast
decks such as Digital Betacam™, D5, and D1. True 10 bit SDI capture retains
all the subtle detail in your images, even during the heaviest multi generation
rendering and video processing.
When connecting to decks such as Betacam SP™, DeckLink Extreme is the only low
cost card to feature full analog component YUV video allowing crisp clean images
that take full advantage of Betacam SP's 4:2:2 analog video path. Betacam SP
uses digitally processed chroma time domain multiplexing and records color and
luma on separate video heads for the highest quality on analog tape format.
DeckLink allows you to extend the life of this classic tape format in your
facility with the ability to instantly connect to more advanced SDI based decks
when required using the same hardware card! DeckLink Extreme is designed to
capture the full analog signal from Betacam SP while retaining the deep quality
of color and low analog noise that's the trademark of this tape format.
With DeckLink Extreme's 6 separate analog power supplies onboard you'll be
amazed at the quality of the images you get from Betacam SP when using DeckLink
Extreme.
DeckLink Extreme's amazing analog support also extends to audio. The old classic
audio engineering joke that “the pictures just enhance the soundtrack”, is
realized with DeckLink Extreme's full 24 bit based professional balanced analog
audio on superbly robust XLR connections.
Pro analog XLR based audio connections onboard is an incredible time saver when
you need to hook up pro audio mixers or other outboard equipment for that
unexpected client voice over. Completing this suite of connections is full speed
SPDIF/Unbalanced AES audio output for high quality digital audio monitoring,
genlock input and RS-422 serial remote. The RS-422 serial plug features that
special metric thread that's standard on deck remote control ports. You won't
have to worry about cables dropping out of your deck and messing up your day!
It's the little details that makes DeckLink Extreme so special.
