12G Decklink Cards

PostWed Nov 14, 2018 5:00 pm

Hi there,

Question: If I just want to bring in the SDI signal from my Blackmagic Ursa 4.6k (to OBS on my computer), there isn't a real advantage to the Decklink 4k Extreme 12G over the Decklink 8k Pro, correct?

It doesn't seem like there should be any difference between those two cards in this situation, but I figured I'd double check.

No difference at all except the pricetag. You better look into future needs.. If you think you will need quadlink someday you go with the 8K pro. You think you will need extra audio in or HDMI 4K capture in the future.. You pick the Extreme. ;)
