Blackmagic Design DeckLink Quad HDMI PCIe Capture Card, Up to 4K60, 4 HDMI 2.0b inputs (BDLKDVQDHDMI4K)

I stream here on Amazon Live everyday and I use this capture card for a dual PC set up! It works AMAZING! it also does 4k! It's better than the Magewell and wayyyy cheaper! Set up is a bit confusing though if you buy this card and need help setting it up come join my stream and I'll help walk you through the set up. You have to go to their website and finding the drivers is not so easy but after about an hour I was able to find the drivers and get it all set up and ready to go! I use all four ports of the capture card one for my Camera, Nintendo Switch, Gaming PC and PS4 and stream using OBS! It captures perfectly and is able to take my Gaming PC and put our crisp quality! I haven't seen many streamers review this product but I highly recommend it for streaming if you need more than 1 HDMI port! Like I said if you have any questions about this product, capture cards, building PCs, Gaming or tech! Check out my Amazon Live streams! I would love to help the best I can! Super passionate about Tech and PCs! You can find my stream by clicking my name and going to my Amazon profile if you follow my profile it'll notify you when I go live! You can also find my streams by going to Amazon.com/shop/Atarabyte!I hope this review helps you and I hope you have a terrific day! ^^

I've had this card installed in my Mac Pro 7,1 for about 9 months now. I consistently use 3 ports, with the 4th port used every once in a while. It handles it all well, and keeps the HDMI displays active at all times, which eliminates the black screen you would get when switching between inputs.BMD is a great company that has for years made high quality, accessible gear for surprisingly low prices. Similar cards from competitors are around $800-$1000, some of which aren't even 4K compatible.I do wish there was some type of strain relief for the HDMI cables as I frequently have to move my Mac Pro tower and I'm increasingly concerned about the stress being put on the input ports by the large, heavy HDMI cables. All in all, this is a great card.

Don't mess around with Thunderbolt docs and capture card catastrophes. These things have a beautiful picture and move a lot of data. I didn't find any other quad cards that were PCIe 3.0 and 8 PCIe lanes. Everything else is PCIe 2 or 1 and 4 lanes. This blows away all the current capture cards on the market. I spent 9 months dealing with all this, and was misinformed that these are PCIe 2.0, and 4 lanes. So, I didn't have them in the running. I was looking at Yuan, etc. Then I just came across the specs one day, going back over everything. What a fricking find. Good for action sstraight to computer recording / streaming. Buy without fear if you use a PC.

Use this with obs for recording overhead video shots. Really nice and works well with it. If you have regular cameras and want to use those. This is the card for you.

I installed this card into my Vmix production workstation. It is excellent. Worked right out of the box - once the drivers are installed you'll get four individual HDMI inputs that support up to 4k video up to 60p. I have attached cameras at 4k 30, a PC, and a few TV boxes I was reviewing to it and all has been good so far.I regularly run three cameras through it during live productions and it has been rock solid. I can highly recommend.

So I have a bit of background with capture cards having used almost every card in the market back when I did corporate live streaming for a living. With that said I was hesitant to pick this up for my personal projects as it is more ports and expense than I wanted but when my elgato failed to boot windows on my rendering server I fell back to what I knew was the best option. Needless to say it worked perfectly and I have room for expansion down the line as I grow.

Here's a video showing some close ups and a basic explanation of the Quad HDMI.As long as you don't have any fan issues, this is an awesome card and is perfect for recording 4K 60 FPS uncompressed video footage.It may seem like overkill for game capture but capturing PS5 or Xbox Series X in 4K 60FPS uncompressed 10 Bit 4:2:2, editing and then only having one stage of destructive encoding to 8 Bit 4:2:0 for your YouTube masters, simply gives you stunning YouTube streams.Cheers,David Harry.

Product shipped a week earlier than expected, had an issue and customer support called me within 10 minutes to resolve the issue. Easily installed in a Mac Pro and once you install the drivers from Blackmagic support and restart it works great. I’m able now to sell 4 cam link 4k units at nearly $200 each. 4k 60 works with nearly imperceptible lag. Happy customer.

長くプロの映像の世界で使われている定番ボードなので、Aiもよくご存じなため、いろいろアプリを作る時にも確実に動くコードを出してくれて、効率よいので助かります。厳格なのか、他のPCからのHDMI入力はコピープロテクトの関係か、途中に何か挟まないとキャプチャできません。定番を使うメリットを凄く感じたボード。高い価値はありますね。

Perfetta compatibilita' con vmix, obs e camere Panasonic, fz1000, gh4, g7, s1e cavi hdmi ibridi. Molto affidabile e stabile. Facilità di installazione.

Funciona muy bien!!
