[Debconf-video] Black Magic Decklink cards (was Re: Camcorder tryout and purchase)

[Tim Ansell <mithro@mithis.com>]

Is that the "DeckLink Mini Recorder" that Carl linked me to at https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/decklink/techspecs/W-DLK-06 ?

It is worth considering the "DeckLink SDI 4K" (https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/decklink/techspecs/W-DLK-11) card. It has both SDI input and output and runs at 3Gb/s.

The reason I'm suggesting that you might want this card despite running voctomix at 720p60, is that 3Gb/s is how fast high speed transceivers on the Opsis run. Assuming we get the funding for the SDI project, this card should allow you to capture *both* HDMI inputs on the Opsis.

A DeckLink SDI 4k is the also the same cost as getting both a DeckLink Mini Monitor and a Decklink Mini Recorder together, but does 4k instead!

The last option to consider is the DeckLink Duo 2 which gives you up to 4 x bidirectional SDI connectors. It is quite a bit more expensive than the other two options but it would allow you to feed two cameras and an Opsis board into one machine.

The single PCI HDMI+SDI capture version for SDI capture of the cameras
