Low-profile PCIe capture card

The DeckLink Mini Recorder 4K installs in a PCIe slot and accepts 6G-SDI and HDMI 2.0 inputs. It automatically detects and switches between video formats up to 2160p30. The card includes shields for both full-height and low-profile brackets. Developers can build custom workflows with the Desktop Video SDK for Mac, Windows and Linux.

Sustained recording stability

The card maintains continuous capture at up to 2160p30 without dropped frames during long sessions. Automatic format detection keeps the stream locked when sources change resolution or frame rate. High dynamic range metadata and Rec. 2020 colour space pass through the pipeline unchanged. The low-profile design fits dense chassis used in mobile trucks and fly-pack systems.

Single-channel 6G-SDI and HDMI 2.0 input

One SDI and one HDMI port share a single capture pipeline, so only one source can be recorded at a time. Buyers needing simultaneous multi-camera ingest or redundant feeds must choose a multi-channel alternative. The 30 fps ceiling at 2160p also rules out high-frame-rate 4K production workflows.

Questions about this item

Does the DeckLink Mini Recorder 4K generate noticeable heat or fan noise when capturing 2160p30 video all day?

The card has no fan and draws power only from the PCIe slot, so it runs silently and stays cool during continuous capture.

What must my computer already have for this card to work?

A free PCIe slot (full-height or low-profile) and a supported OS — macOS, Windows or Linux — with the Blackmagic Desktop Video SDK installed.

Will the HDMI 2.0 input on this recorder accept 1080p signals from my older camera?

Yes, the HDMI 2.0 a and 6G-SDI inputs automatically detect and switch between all supported video formats, including legacy 1080p sources.
