Blackmagic Design HDLink Pro - HDTV Resolution Video Monitoring on DVI-D Computer Monitors

The HDLink Pro from Blackmagic is an external device that can be used to display SD-SDI or HD-SDI video on a standard DVI-D computer display. It features a BNC input, BNC active loop through output and a dual-link DVI port for video. The HDLink Pro also features six unbalanced RCA audio outputs for monitoring. The HDLink Pro supports both Windows and Mac computers. The Mac software is a universal binary, so it will run natively on PowerPC and Intel Macs. Its compact design combined with full-resolution HD makes it perfect for the studio, edit suite, telecine or even location video shoots.
