Blackmagic Design DeckLink Mini Monitor

Blackmagic Design DeckLink Mini Monitor

The Blackmagic Design DeckLink Mini Monitor is a PCIe slot playback card with both SDI and HDMI outputs for color-correcting or delivering client presentations in more precision on top-resolution HDMI or SDI monitors. You'll be able to send video from your computer to a large HDMI display locally or to an SDI monitor up to 300 ft away. 

The card outputs up to 10-bit uncompressed video, and you can output by SDI and HDMI simultaneously. All the outputs are active, so once you plug a cable into them, they'll begin functioning. The card automatically switches between SD and HD, so it'll handle all common video formats.

4-Lane PCI Express Card
The Mini Monitor is a 4-lane PCI Express card and is compatible with 4, 8 and 16 lane PCI Express slots on Mac OS X, Windows 8 and Linux. The only Mac capable of accepting the card is a Mac Pro as other Macs can't be opened to enable installation.
