4× 12G-SDI Micro BNC Capture Card
The Blackmagic Design DeckLink 8K Pro Mini is a low-profile PCIe video capture and playback card with four bi-directional 12G-SDI Micro BNC connectors. It handles every standard from SD through 8K DCI and supports 12-bit RGB 4:4:4 with full Rec. 2020 colour space for high dynamic range workflows. The card installs in an 8-lane Gen 3 PCI Express slot and is also compatible with 16-lane slots.
Studios needing quad-link 12G-SDI I/O
Facilities that require four independent 12G-SDI connections for simultaneous 8K capture or multi-channel 4K workflows will fit this card directly into a workstation. Buyers who need HDMI, DisplayPort or analogue video inputs, or who lack a free x8 or x16 PCIe slot, cannot use this device. The Sync Input accepts Tri-Sync or Black Burst reference for multi-device timing.
PCIe 8-lane Gen 3 interface requirement
The card operates on an 8-lane PCI Express generation 3 connection and fits both x8 and x16 physical slots. Verify that your motherboard provides an 8-lane electrical link; a x4 slot will not deliver the bandwidth needed for 8K 12-bit RGB 4:4:4 throughput.

Questions about this item
What type of PCI Express slot does the DeckLink 8K Pro Mini need for full 8-lane Gen 3 bandwidth?

Can the four 12G-SDI Micro BNC ports connect to legacy SD or HD equipment without adapters?
Yes, each bi-directional 12G-SDI Micro BNC port supports SD, HD, 2K, 4K DCI, 8K and 8K DCI standards natively.
How do I confirm the card is passing 12-bit RGB 4:4:4 video with Rec. 2020 colour after installation?
Check your capture software for a 12-bit RGB 4:4:4 signal path and verify the Rec. 2020 colour space metadata on the incoming 8K stream.
