DeckLink Studio 2 replaces current model DeckLink Studio and adds 10-bit HDMI capture and playback, while keeping the system price at €545.
Targeting post and broadcast applications, DeckLink Studio 2 features independent connections for SDI, HDMI, analogue component, S-Video and composite video, allowing various types of external video equipment to remain connected without re-cabling. DeckLink Studio also includes SDI and HDMI connections that switch between SD and HD, as well as an SD only output via a built in hardware down-converter.
The built-in 10-bit hardware down-converter is selectable between letterbox, anamorphic 16:9 and centre cut 4:3 modes, and operates when running in all HD video formats as well as in capture and playback modes.
Because DeckLink Studio 2 is designed for professionals who have many generations of video equipment, it includes audio connectivity that supports older broadcast decks such as Betacam SP. DeckLink Studio 2 includes 4 channels of balanced analogue audio, as well as 2 channels of AES/EBU digital audio.
In related news, Blackmagic Design announced availability of DeckLink 7.3, a free update for DeckLink customers for Windows, Mac OS X 10.6 and now Linux.
Included in this software release is the Media Express 2.0 public beta, which is an update with DPX support, playlists and a new interface that’s identical between Mac OS X, Windows and Linux platforms.
