Compatible with NTSC and PAL.
The Blackmagic Design DeckLink HD Extreme 3D is a video-editing hardware, which features single and dual-channel SDI capture and playback for both regular 2D as well as new 3D stereoscopic workflows. It includes dual link 3 Gb/s SDI, HDMI, analog component/composite/S-video connections and 2 channels of AES/EBU audio in and out with a sample rate converter on the AES/EBU input as well as 2 channels of XLR professional analog audio in and out. It is the first capture card to include high speed 3 Gb/s SDI connections for 4:4:4 RGB, 2K film, and 3D; the 10 Gb/s super fast connectivity makes for superior real-time effects. The video formats can be instantly switched between SD, HD, and 2K up to 1080p60. This unit is compatible with NTSC and PAL formats.
The Extreme 3D includes 16 channels of SDI embedded audio support for HD and 8 channels of SDI embedded audio for SD capture and playback with added genlock and deck control features. It is equipped with a fast video processor for 10-bit quality hardware up, down, and cross conversion. The built-in SD/HD internal keyer combines visual elements from separate sources into single images.
The hardware is geared up for 3D workflow using both interleaved and dual stream capture and playback. It works with a wide range of video software such as Apple Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe After Effects, Adobe Photoshop, and Eyeon Fusion. It also supports the widest range of equipment, such as HDCAM, HD-D5, HDCAM SR, Betacam SP, Digital Betacam, HD receivers, HDV cameras, televisions, mixers, and more.
