Can a Decklink 4k Extreme 12G be used WITHOUT the dghtr crd?

PostTue Nov 29, 2022 7:10 pm

I have one of these cards. I bought it and it did not include the daughter card. Does anyone know with some certainty that this card should work without the daughter card? I see no decklink devices in the device manager. However, when I put on the USB cable, it does recognize the card, and can even update firmware.

I presume id should work, because you can buy a daughter card separately. However, I do not want to assume.

Thank you.

The daughter board is an Optional Add On card that will allow you to use Quadlink SDI instead of 12G. ;)

The card should work perfect without it!

Thanks for the reply. I was hoping for more than a 'should' on this. I ended up getting an open-box mezz card from BH. I will know for sure soon.

I opened a ticket with BM as well, but they were not able to confirm whether it 'should' or not. I found that odd.
