DeckLink Quad
DeckLink Quad is identified as four DeckLink SDI cards by the computer. The bottom
connector is a common reference input which is shared by all DeckLink SDI cards.
The pair of connectors immediately above the reference input belong to DeckLink SDI 1.
The next pairs of connectors above belong to DeckLink SDI 2, 3 and 4 respectively. If a
second DeckLink Quad is installed in the same computer, the lowest pair of connectors
belong to DeckLink SDI 5 and the top pair belong to DeckLink SDI 8. DeckLink Quad
exclusively uses DIN 1.0/2.3 rather than larger BNC type connectors. The settings for each
DeckLink SDI card can be selected from the Blackmagic Design preference pane in the
System Preferences of Mac OS X.
