PCI Express slot

PostWed Sep 17, 2014 8:55 am

Hi,
I sent my question to BlackMagic support but I didn't get any reply for few days - maybe someone can help me..
I would like to use 4 DeckLink Mini Recorder cards in my 4U rack system but I have only 2 slots with PCI Express 16x. Can I use this card in PCI Express slots with 4x or 8x? Will it work as it should?

Buy the Decklink Quad instead, 4 capture cards in one.

+1 on Quad You also have sync on the Quad, not on the minis.

Performance depends on the motherboard. Single lane cards can plug into multiple lane slots.

EDIT: Don't forget to order adapter BNC cables if you go with the Quad
