What the heck is this thing?

PostTue Feb 18, 2020 6:20 pm

Hello!
I stumbled across this part in a box of misc. cards at work. It's Stamped with Blackmagic Design, and has a part number of BMDPCB53 REVA.

I've looked this part number up and from what I can tell, that doesn't match this device. This thing has a DVI input or output. I put it in a PC, and it goes undetected.

I'm just curious as to what it is. Thanks! I uploaded pictures of this to Dropbox, but it won't let me post the links here.

Looks to an old decklink card.

That's the PCIe card for the old Multibridge Pro (and possibly others).

It's a passive External PCIe card, so invisible to your computer until it's plugged into a Multibridge Pro.
