PCI Express also allows DeckLink Studio to work in lower cost
computers.

Test Results |
Test card was taken from a
typical production run. The HD/SD-SDI output from
DeckLink SDI was connected to a Tektronix WFM-700 HD-SDI
waveform monitor and test signal video files were used.
Test results can vary slightly from these results
between different models tested due to component
tolerances used in production. |
