Welcome to DeckLink.
We hope you share our dream for the television industry to become a truly creative industry by allowing
anyone to have access to the highest quality video.
Previously high end television and post production required investment in millions of dollars of hardware,
however with DeckLink cards, even 10 bit uncompressed is now easily affordable. We hope you get years
of use from your new DeckLink card and have fun working with some of the world’s hottest television and
design software!
This instruction manual should contain all the information you’ll need on installing your DeckLink capture
card, although it’s always a good idea to ask a technical assistant for help if you have not installed hardware
cards into computers before. As DeckLink uses uncompressed video and the data rates are quite high,
you’ll need fast disk storage and a high-end Mac.
We think it should take you approximately 10 minutes to complete installation. Before you install DeckLink,
please check our website at www.blackmagic-design.com and click the support page to download the
latest updates to this manual and DeckLink driver software. Lastly, please register your DeckLink when
downloading software updates. We would love to keep you updated on new software updates and new
features for your DeckLink. Perhaps you can even send us your latest show reel of work completed on
your DeckLink and any suggestions for improvements to the software. We are constantly working on new
features and improvements, so we would love to hear from you!
