The new DeckLink HD Extreme has all the features of the original model, which it replaces, plus now adds Dual Link 3 Gb/s SDI for 4:4:4 quality and a new hardware down converter for simultaneous HD and SD playback at the same time. The DeckLink HD Extreme and all Blackmagic Design products will be at Blackmagic Design’s Broadcast Video Expo stand located at G14.

With SDI, HDMI and analog video capture and playback, combined with both balanced analog and AES/EBU digital audio, DeckLink HD Extreme lets customers connect to all decks, cameras and monitors. DeckLink HD Extreme instantly switches between SD and HD video, so is the ideal solution for all post production and broadcast users when working on design, editing, paint and effects tasks. With built in 3 Gb/s SDI, DeckLink HD Extreme can also instantly switch to full resolution 2K feature film editing. DeckLink HD Extreme also includes built in hardware down converter so users can monitor both SD and HD at the same time during playback and capture.
