DeckLink Extreme PCIe is a PCI Express version of the company's famous DeckLink Extreme capture card that features a new high speed PCI Express 1 lane interface running at 2.5 Gbps, which is more than 6 times faster than FireWire based solutions.

By using a compact 1 lane PCI Express interface, the new DeckLink Extreme PCIe card features high speed ideal for multi layer real time effects, compatibility with new high speed Windows PC motherboards, while allowing full compatibility with 1, 4, 8 and 16 lane PCI Express slots.

DeckLink Extreme PCIe connects to any standard definition deck in broadcast video, because it combines both 10 bit SDI and analog component video into a single compact low cost PCI Express card that only uses a single PCIe slot!

DeckLink Extreme PCIe includes extended features such as support for Windows XP™ and DirectShow, as well as full custom drivers for Adobe Premiere Pro™ 1.5 with more than 40 real time effects and transitions in 8 bit, 10 bit, and DV.

Enhanced Quality and Connectivity for all Broadcast Decks

DeckLink Extreme PCIe features the highest quality 10 bit uncompressed SDI video connections making it the perfect solution for connecting to high end broadcast decks such as Digital Betacam™, D5, and D1. True 10 bit SDI capture retains all the subtle detail in images even during the heaviest multi generation rendering and video processing.

When connecting to decks such as Betacam SP™, DeckLink Extreme is the only low cost card to feature full analog component YUV video allowing crisp clean images that take full advantage of Betacam SP's 4:2:2 analog video path. With 6 separate analog power supplies onboard, DeckLink Extreme's analog connections have been specially optimized for the Betacam SP format.

Betacam SP uses digitally processed chroma time domain multiplexing and records color and luma on separate video heads for the highest quality on analog tape format. DeckLink Extreme is designed to capture the full analog signal from Betacam SP while retaining the deep color quality and low analog noise that is a trademark of this tape format.

DeckLink Extreme allows the life of this classic analog tape format to continue it's usefulness in postproduction and broadcast facilities, and then, instantly connect to more advanced SDI based decks when required, and all on the same hardware card.

DeckLink Extreme's amazing analog support also extends to audio. DeckLink Extreme provides full 24 bit based professional balanced analog audio on superbly robust XLR connections. Pro analog XLR based audio connections onboard are perfect for connecting to pro audio mixers or other outboard equipment.

Completing this suite of connections is full speed SPDIF/Unbalanced AES audio output for high quality digital audio monitoring, genlock input, and RS-422 serial remote.

Enhanced Functionality

DeckLink Extreme is much more than just an NLE card for use with Premiere Pro, as it also includes our acclaimed Blackmagic Deck Control application. This lets you mark in and out on tape, and automatically capture a selected segment from tape using the serial control port. All the deck control is automatic. You can then place finished renders back to tape from the comfort of your workstation when your job is finished.

Deck Control is bundled free and is great when you're doing web streaming, digital effects, color correction or broadcast design and you don't use NLE software. Deck Control allows you to complete your workstation without any third party extras.

DeckLink Extreme also includes our LiveKey application software. LiveKey lets you change the DeckLink Extreme into a live keyer that keys RGB based graphics over input video and outputs with the result showing on both the SDI and analog outputs.

That's great for adding a quick bug, or logo to your demo reels, and makes DeckLink Extreme the perfect partner in live broadcast situations.

Choose from 4 Different Models
All DeckLink cards have the same powerful features, with only the video and audio connections different between models. There is a DeckLink model specifically designed with connectivity for different types of broadcast decks, so you get only what you need at the most affordable price.
