The new DeckLink HD Extreme 3D includes SDI, HDMI 1.4, analog component,
analog and AES/EBU audio and more. Now you can capture and play back
from virtually any video and audio device, even in 3D! DeckLink HD
Extreme 3D also includes the latest technology for advanced full
resolution 3D editing, including dual stream SDI capture and playback
plus built in HDMI 1.4! Perfect for post production, broadcast and even
feature film work, DeckLink HD Extreme 3D switches between SD and HD,
and has built in 3 Gb/s SDI, 4:2:2 and 4:4:4 RGB, native 12 bit and
frame rates right up to 1080p60! DeckLink HD Extreme 3D also features
built in up, down and cross conversion, plus an internal SD/HD keyer
Amazing 3D Workflow
DeckLink HD Extreme 3D is ready for advanced 3D workflows using
both interleaved and dual stream capture and playback. Interleaved
allows the left and right eye to be combined into a single frame so
you can edit 3D using your favorite editing software! Dual stream
is also fully supported in DeckLink HD Extreme 3D using the dual
SDI and HDMI 1.4 connections for capture and playback of two full
resolution video streams for left and right eye into two separate
media files. Dual stream 3D allows the highest quality 3D possible
because each eye is captured as an independent full resolution
media file, although is often less compatible with current editing
software. To solve the dual stream compatibility problem,
Blackmagic Design's Media Express is included and supports capture
and playback of both interleaved and dual stream 3D media files for
a complete 3D solution!
DeckLink HD Extreme 3D is the only solution that connects to
SDI, HDMI, component analog, NTSC/PAL and S-Video equipment for
capture and playback, while instantly switching between SD, HD and
2K. DeckLink HD Extreme 3D includes 2 channels of AES/EBU audio in
and out with a sample rate converter on the AES/EBU input as well
as 2 channels of XLR professional analog audio in and out. Work
with the widest range of equipment, such as HDCAM, HD-D5, HDCAM SR,
Betacam SP, Digital Betacam, HD receivers, HDV cameras,
televisions, mixers and more. DeckLink HD Extreme 3D now supports
Dual Link SDI and 3 Gb/s SDI, so you can capture and play back
4:4:4 video when used with decks such as Sony HDCAM SR™, or view
real time playback of 2K film resolution at 24 fps with Blackmagic
Design's HDLink Pro.
New 3 Gb/s SDI Connections
The new DeckLink HD Extreme 3D is the first capture card to
include high speed 3 Gb/s SDI connections. 3 Gb/s SDI is the latest
version of the SDI video standard that allows 4:4:4 RGB and 2K film
connection and even 3D with a single BNC type connection. 3 Gb/s
SDI runs twice the data rate of normal HD-SDI video, however it can
instantly switch to traditional standard definition and high
definition SDI. 3 Gb/s SDI allows 4:4:4 RGB workflow or full
resolution 2K feature film quality 24 fps 2048 x 1556 capture and
playback. 2K via SDI allows a revolutionary change to feature film
workflow as now you can connect film resolution video around your
facility using the same familiar workflow as a "normal" video job!
Only DeckLink HD Extreme 3D gives you film editing features built
in for no extra cost!
New HDMI 1.4 Support
DeckLink HD Extreme 3D features the latest generation of HDMI
1.4 built in for capture and playback! HDMI 1.4 lets you keep your
3D video in full resolution because it transfers frames using the
frame packing method. Frame packing keeps the video frames separate
for the left and right eyes using a single HDMI connection. HDMI
1.4 is a massive improvement over the previous generation HDMI for
3D. However DeckLink HD Extreme 3D also keeps compatibility with
these previous generation HDMI devices by supporting side by side,
line by line and top and bottom method for transferring 3D video
which are half resolution 3D modes. DeckLink HD Extreme 3D is
intelligent, and adapts when you plug into older HDMI devices or
the latest HDMI 1.4 devices! Now you can capture 3D from devices
such as cameras and gaming consoles into two separate full
resolution video files, one for each eye. Imagine the quality of
the latest generation HDMI 1.4 televisions for monitoring dual
stream full resolution 3D! That's the highest quality 3D
possible!
More HD Real Time Effects
DeckLink HD Extreme 3D's super fast 10 Gb/s connection plugs
directly into your editing software's real time effects processing.
Unlike FireWire products, you get all CPU time for real time
effects, as only PCI Express lets you upgrade to HD without
limiting real time effects. The higher speed of PCI Express also
easily handles advanced formats such as full resolution 2K digital
film. Only high speed PCI Express ensures that when you upgrade
your studio to high definition, you'll get full real time
effects.
