Deciphering exclusive modes in the spec sheets?
Posted: Sat Jun 22, 2019 4:58 pm
I see this in a bunch of BMD products, and I'm wondering if there's a trick to determining which specifications are exclusive of one another.
In the exact case I'm looking at today, I see the Decklink 8K Pro says it does DCI 4Kp120 3D and it does 12b 4:4:4 rec 2020 and it does bidirectional 12g SDI connections.
If all three of those are non-exclusive, that means I can hook up 4 DCI4K cameras as two stereo pairs running at 120fps at 12 bit in RGB. For US$650. If it sounds too good to be true... there's got to be a catch, right?
So is it true? Or if not, what modes are exclusive, and is there a way I or a reseller can figure what combinations are valid using an excel sheet or some online configurator without first installing the card and just testing it?
