DeckLink 8K Pro is an advanced 8 lane PCI Express capture and playback card designed for the next generation of high resolution 8K workflows. Featuring four 12G-SDI connections, DeckLink 8K Pro supports all SD, HD, Ultra HD, 4K, 8K and 8K DCI frame sizes. DeckLink 8K Pro works in 8 and 10-bit YUV 4:2:2 as well as 10 and 12-bit RGB 4:4:4 with full Rec. 2020 support, giving you deep color for true digital cinema quality images! In addition, you can work at up to 60 frames per second up to 8K, as well as up to 64 channels of audio. The connections are also bi-directional so you can use them to either capture or playback quad link 8K, or they can be used for simultaneous capture and playback of single or dual link SDI sources!
If this card does NOT?! support 4 independent channels you might want to be very clear about this on your website!!! Because the text is very suggestive it does support
simultaneous Capture and playback,
four 12G connections that take SD HD UHD and 12G...
SDI Video Inputs
4 x bi-directional 12Gb/s SD/HD/2K/4K/8K. Supports single, dual link and quad link 4:2:2/4:4:4. 2D/3D switchable.
SDI Video Outputs
4 x bi-directional 12Gb/s SD/HD/2K/4K/8K. Supports single, dual link and quad link 4:2:2/4:4:4. 2D/3D switchable.
This would be very misleading!! Also the image does imply you get 4x 12G in/out And not only Dual or Quadlink functionality...
