Decklink Quad 2, suggested/tried-and-tested motherboard

PostThu Jun 29, 2017 1:27 pm

The Decklink Quad 2 requires a very specific configuration of PCIe slots, lanes etc. I have failed to find a 'suggested' or ideal motherboard for the product. There are several examples in this forum of issues that appear to have been caused by unsuitable motherboard choice.

Is there a specific motherboard that is tried-and-tested for the maximum throughput please?

We're looking to capture 1080p60 on many of the 8 channels (possibly all of them) simultaneously, so we'd really benefit from ensuring maximum compatibility, and minimum surprises.

Suggestions would be very welcome please - especially from Blackmagic tech team who presumably use a few specific models to test the cards regularly, so know they can be trusted.

Thanks
