With the DeckLink IP 100G, Blackmagic Design has introduced a new PCIe card for IP-based broadcast and post-production. The DeckLink IP 100G is the new top-of-the-line model in Blackmagic&s DeckLink series, enabling the recording and playback of up to eight channels in HD and Ultra HD via two 100G Ethernet ports. Designed for 2110 IP systems via two 100G portsThe key innovation of the DeckLink IP 100G compared to previous DeckLink cards is its ability to process up to eight video channels in parallel in HD and Ultra HD quality. Unlike classic SDI-based I/O cards, it is fully tailored to IP workflows according to SMPTE ST 2110, meaning that video, audio, and ancillary data are transported separately as independent data streams over the network. Data transfer takes place via the two 100G Ethernet QSFP ports, which can be operated redundantly or connected to two separate 100G switches. ![]() Blackmagic DeckLink IP 100G GPUDirect RDMAA particularly interesting technical feature is the support for GPUDirect RDMA. This function allows for direct memory transfers between the DeckLink card and a graphics card without the data having to take a detour through the system&s main memory. This reduces the load on the PCIe bus and lowers latency, which is particularly interesting for modern video workflows such as AI-assisted image analysis, virtual production, real-time compositing, or GPU-based signal processing. Support for SMPTE ST 2110 and precise synchronizationThe card supports the relevant parts of the SMPTE ST 2110 standard, including 2110-20 for uncompressed video, 2110-21 for timing and traffic shaping, 2110-30 for audio, and 2110-40 for ancillary data. Synchronization is handled via a common PTP clock. ![]() Blackmagic DeckLink IP 100G Multirate support from SD to Ultra HDWith the help of the open IP10 codec, data rates for the transmission of 2160p/59.94 and 2160p/60 are enabled with a latency of only eight samples. The DeckLink IP 100G supports a wide range of formats from SD to HD and Ultra HD, including 525i/59.94, 625i/50, 720p, 1080i, 1080p up to 1080p/60, and Ultra HD up to 2160p/60. The video standard can be set independently for each channel. Common formats such as Apple ProRes, DNxHD, and uncompressed 10-bit video are compatible. The DeckLink IP 100G works with programs such as DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, Media Composer, Premiere Pro, Fusion, After Effects, and Photoshop—in addition to streaming applications like OBS, Wirecast, or XSplit, as well as an SDK for Mac, Windows, and Linux. SecurityBlackmagic places special emphasis on security: instead of opening the host system&s Ethernet port directly for arbitrary data communication, video and audio signals are processed via a framebuffer principle on the card. This creates a type of video-based firewall, preventing potential attackers from gaining direct access to the 2110 IP network. ![]() Blackmagic DeckLink IP 100G Key features at a glance- 4th generation PCIe card for SMPTE ST 2110 IP workflows - Up to eight channels of simultaneous recording and playback in HD and Ultra HD - Two 100G Ethernet QSFP ports for redundancy or dual-switch connection - Support for SMPTE 2110-20, 2110-21, 2110-30, and 2110-40 - GPUDirect RDMA for direct memory transfers between card and GPU - Support for SD, HD, and Ultra HD formats up to 2160p/60 - Processing of Apple ProRes, DNxHD, and uncompressed 10-bit video - Blackmagic IP10 codec for Ultra HD at high frame rates and reduced data rates - Simultaneous capture and playback per channel - SDK for Mac, Windows, and Linux - Integrated cooling system Price and availabilityThe Blackmagic DeckLink IP 100G will be available from July at a price of 1,495 euros. deutsche Version dieser Seite: Blackmagic DeckLink IP 100G vorgestellt - 8 Kanal 4K Capturing und Playback per Ethernet |
