Blackmagic Design DeckLink Mini Monitor Playback Card

Full Description

Capture your source perfectly on-set

Used on everything from blockbuster Hollywood feature films, TV commercial studios, music videos and much more, the DeckLink Mini Monitor Playback Card is the ultimate solution for production suites and film studios. When working on a set with DaVinci Resolve, you can use Resolve Live to grade live from your camera. Resolve Live allows you to add nodes and correctors live, then store grades to link up with the camera media later. No matter what quality camera you use, there is a DeckLink card with the connections to plug in direct and then grade live. Use DeckLink cards to capture from cameras into specific, rare or custom file formats, so you can use live capture to prepare media in real-time for your post-production workflow. DeckLink works with any format and new file formats and codecs can be added as third party plug-ins.

Unrivaled video quality

Work with 10-bit uncompressed video with 12-bit RGB support. The DeckLink Mini Monitor Playback Card displays a mathematically perfect pixel-for-pixel clone of your source. When editing, this becomes vitally important as you have the confidence to make changes that will produce the best video for your content, with cleaner green screen keying, colour correction, balance and more.

In-depth management and capture with Media Express

Every DeckLink Mini Monitor comes with Media Express software. This software gives you a complete overview of your sessions and allows you to capture, playback, add metadata and manage your video all in one location. For systems that use editing software such as Final Cut Pro X and After Effects that don't capture video on their own, Media Express offers seamless integration. Compatible with Mac, Windows or Linux computers, Media Express is versatile enough to fit in any editing studio no matter what system you use.

Suitable to work with both compressed and non-compressed formats, Media Express lets you work on professional images with true broadcast quality or high-performance optimisation. The Decklink Mini Monitor records up to 10-bit video information, meaning the uncompressed video files can be used inside of Media Express in every format, from SD NTSC/PAL to 720HD and 1080HD, all the way up to Ultra HD and 4K.

Log and capture all the important information, detail clips with timecode, in and out points and automatically batch capture entire sequences. Additionally, you can add searchable metadata to organise your clips.

Flexible software support

Supporting more software than any other capture card, the DeckLink Mini Monitor gives you the freedom to work with any system in your setup. Compatible with Mac, Windows and Linux operating systems, you will have full access to use with a wide range of software including DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro X, Media Composer, Premiere Pro and much more.
