Four independent 3G-SDI channels

The Blackmagic Design DeckLink Duo 2 Mini is a low-profile PCI Express capture and playback card that fits a single slot. It provides four separate mini 3G-SDI connections, each configurable for input or output. The card handles all SD and HD formats up to 1080p60. It suits media play-out, multi-screen signage and real-time multi-channel capture workflows.

For multi-channel SDI workflows

This card is built for professionals who need four discrete SDI streams from one PCIe slot. It works well for broadcast play-out servers, digital signage arrays and live production capture rigs. It is not suited for buyers who need HDMI or DisplayPort connectivity. It is also not suited for workflows requiring 4K, HDR or frame rates above 60 fps.

Low-profile PCIe installation

The card installs into any available PCI Express slot and includes a low-profile bracket for compact chassis. Driver support covers Windows, macOS and Linux through the Desktop Video software package. The mini 3G-SDI connectors require compatible cables or adapters; using full-size SDI cables without the correct adapter is a common wiring error. Ensure the host system can sustain the combined bandwidth of four active channels.

Questions about this item

Does my motherboard need a specific PCI Express slot for the DeckLink Duo 2 Mini?

The card is a low-profile PCI Express design; check your board for a free low-profile slot.

Can the four mini 3G-SDI ports capture 1080p60 while older SD sources play back at the same time?

Each of the four independent mini 3G-SDI connections handles SD or HD up to 1080p60, so mixed formats work concurrently.

Open Blackmagic Media Express or the Desktop Video control panel; each port shows its detected format and frame rate live.
