UltraStudio 4k - 4 channels of capture?

PostThu Oct 18, 2012 3:59 pm

I was curious to know if the UltraStudio 4k will have the ability to capture 4 separate simultaneous streams of, say, 1080i? Thanks all!

No. It is still a single stream capture device. Much like the Decklink HD Extreme 3D+ (and older lines) even though they have multiple SDI inputs, those inputs are still tied together for Dual Link 1.5Gb or 3D capture. Similarly the 4K has 4 SDI inputs but it's designed for the quad linked signals to come from the same device to make 1 4K stream.

That's a bummer. I was hoping there would be a way to use it as a Thunderbolt device for monitoring 4 streams of SDI. Thanks for the help!
