Blackmagic DeckLink IP 100G

DeckLink IP 100G is built for high‑end broadcast environments that require extreme bandwidth, uncompromised image quality and scalable SMPTE 2110 IP workflows. It delivers eight channels of simultaneous Ultra HD capture and playback over dual 100‑gigabit QSFP28 optical interfaces, providing both the speed and redundancy necessary for mission‑critical media infrastructures. This high‑capacity architecture allows large‑scale systems such as real‑time graphics engines, virtual production stages, automated ingest servers, multi‑stream playout platforms and AI‑accelerated processing nodes to move massive volumes of uncompressed video with consistent low latency and exceptional reliability.

The card supports all SD, HD and Ultra HD formats up to 2160p60, making it suitable for both modern UHD pipelines and mixed‑format broadcast environments. With full SMPTE 2110 compatibility, it transports uncompressed video, synchronized audio and ancillary data as independent streams, enabling precise timing, flexible routing and clean isolation between media components. Its PTP‑based timing ensures frame‑accurate alignment across distributed systems, which is essential for multi‑camera production, remote integration and large facility synchronization.

DeckLink IP 100G supports a wide range of professional codecs including Apple ProRes, DNxHD, DNxHR, AVC‑Intra, XDCAM, DPX, AVCHD, Digital SLR formats and uncompressed 8‑bit, 10‑bit 4:2:2 and 10‑bit 4:4:4 video. This makes the card suitable for editorial pipelines, finishing workstations, cloud‑connected processing and multi‑format broadcast schedules. Its hardware and firmware are optimized for high‑pressure studio environments, ensuring stable operation even under sustained high‑data‑rate load conditions.

With a PCIe Gen 4 x8 interface, DeckLink IP 100G integrates into professional macOS, Windows and Linux systems capable of supporting the card’s extreme throughput requirements. Included software tools such as DaVinci Resolve, Media Express, Disk Speed Test, LiveKey and Desktop Video Utility allow users to configure, test and operate high‑bandwidth IP workflows immediately after installation. DeckLink IP 100G stands as a powerful and future‑ready IP media card designed for facilities that require top‑tier performance, full redundancy and the flexibility of a completely IP‑native production environment.
