Can you do 4 inputs and one output? Will his work with OWC Mercury Helios 3S Thunderbolt 3 PCIe Expansion Solution which is x4?
Asked by: Ken
No, when using all the Blackmagic Design DeckLink 8K Pro G2 Capture Card's four bidirectional SDI as inputs, you will not be able to create an output channel. The HDMI port shares I/O with channel #1. With all inputs being used as input signals, you will not be able to create an output via HDMI or SDI. Image of I/O: https://bhpho.to/4d6hTpD

Will this work in a Sonnet Echo Express SE III Thunderbolt 3 enclosure?
Asked by: Hammad
The Sonnet Echo SE I T5 (Thunderbolt 5) chassis allows you to connect One Full-height, Half-length+ PCIe Card (Plus Daughter Card), perfect for the Blackmagic Decklink 8k Pro G2 card. If your setup requires only SDI and no HDMI connections then you could remove the daughter card from the blackmagic 8K pro G2 and use it like the G1 version which was single width which fits in all Sonnet chassis expect for the Echo Express SEL. https://www.sonnettech.com/product/echo-se1-t5/overview.html

Can you do 5 inputs at the same time? Or do one of the SDI's get shut off when you use the HDMI?
Asked by: Nathaniel
The Blackmagic Design DeckLink 8K Pro G2 Capture Card can only support up to four inputs at one time, so you would not be able to use all five inputs at once.
