Blackmagic Design DeckLink Duo 2

This I/O expansion card from Blackmagic Design features 4 x bi-directional SDI interfaces. The Blackmagic Design DeckLink Duo 2 is a versatile video I/O card for professional video workflows.

One of the major benefits of this I/O card is that each of the SDI interfaces can be configured to be either an input or an output. For example, a computer with this card installed can be purposed as a media play-out system, a multi-screen digital signage server, a live keyer, a real-time multi-channel capture system, or a combination of the above to fit your specific workflow of the moment. A reference input is also available for syncing with other studio equipment.
