The DeckLink Quad 2 from Blackmagic Design features eight independent SDI capture and playback channels in a single card. Fully compatible with the previous four channel model, this updated model allows four independent capture and playback channels but now also includes four extra channels that developers can use for configuring the card in any combination of up to eight capture or eight playback channels. This means DeckLink Quad
2 allows each of the eight 3G-SDI BNC connectors to switch direction between capture or playback in SD and HD up to 1080p60 and as a complete independent channel.
