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

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!
World's Highest Quality
Fully compatible with SD-SDI and HD-SDI 4:2:2, new DeckLink HD
Extreme 3D also features Dual Link HD-SDI 4:4:4 connections for
feature film quality. Dual Link 4:4:4 is used on the latest Sony
HDCAM SR decks, and contains additional color detail giving you
full RGB color bandwidth with 10 bit video precision.
True Professional Quality Audio
DeckLink HD Extreme 3D features unbalanced AES digital audio in
and out as well as XLR balanced pro audio for incredible quality
while maintaining sample accurate AV sync. DeckLink HD Extreme
3D includes a sample rate converter on the AES/EBU input, so you
can connect to any digital audio device.
Compatible with Popular Software
DeckLink HD Extreme 3D works in Windows XP™, Windows Vista™,
Windows 7, Mac OS X™ and Linux systems. Use your favorite video
software such as Apple Final Cut Pro™, Adobe Premiere Pro™,
Adobe After Effects™, Adobe Photoshop™, eyeon Fusion™ and many
more. Instantly switch between SD, HD, and 2K.
Connect to
Anything
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.
Includes Loads
of Free Software Utilities
Photoshop™ plug-ins are included for capture and output of still
frames. Blackmagic Media Express™ lets you control a deck
remotely via RS-422 for capture and playback of clips with
timecode accuracy and Blackmagic Disk Speed Test™ checks your
disk array in frames per second. |

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. |
