Engineered for professional broadcast environments using SMPTE 2110 IP network systems, the Blackmagic Design DeckLink IP 100G is a powerful PCIe Generation 4 capture and playback card. Specifically engineered to meet the ever-evolving demands of modern live and post-production workflows, supporting up to eight simultaneous UHD video channels via dual 100G Ethernet QSFP28 ports, enabling full redundancy.
The Blackmagic Design DeckLink IP 100G provides full support for GPU Direct RDMA, ensuring ultra-low latency by facilitating direct memory transfers to GPUs. This is especially valuable in real-time graphics rendering, AI processing, and live compositing applications.
The DeckLink IP 100G is built for diverse broadcast infrastructures, the Blackmagic Design DeckLink IP 100G is compatible across macOS, Windows, and Linux systems. This maintains universal compatibility with all video software that includes DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Premiere Pro, Avid Media Composer, and more.
Looking beyond performance, the Blackmagic Design DeckLink IP 100G emphasises flexibility and security. Both compressed and uncompressed, a wide array of video formats is supported, up to 4K120 with 10-bit 4:4:4 colour. Integrated support for SMPTE 2110 standards allows full transport of uncompressed video, audio, and ancillary data over managed IP networks with PTP (Precision Time Protocol) synchronisation while acting as a hardware-level firewall by isolating video transfers to frame buffers, offering protection from rogue software and unauthorised network access.
