Overview

The Blackmagic Design DeckLink SDI Micro is a miniature M.2 video I/O card designed for compact computers and embedded professional video systems. It provides 3G-SDI connectivity for simultaneous capture and playback across SD and HD formats up to 1080p60.

Its compact architecture is particularly suited to portable and space-constrained systems. The card also incorporates Black Burst and Tri-Sync reference input for synchronization in professional video environments.

Performance

DeckLink SDI Micro supports 525i59.94 NTSC and 625i50 PAL, along with HD formats including 720p up to 60 fps, 1080i up to 60 fields per second, 1080PsF up to 30 fps and progressive 1080p up to 60 fps.

SDI video sampling supports 4:2:2 and 4:4:4. Color precision includes 8, 10 and 12-bit RGB 4:4:4 at formats up to 1080p30, plus 8 and 10-bit YUV 4:2:2 across all supported modes.

The host interface is M.2 PCI Express 1-lane Generation 3, compatible with B and M key type 2260 and 2280 configurations. Maximum power consumption is specified at 4.03 W.

Applications

DeckLink SDI Micro is designed for embedded broadcast systems, compact video appliances, portable production equipment and custom OEM solutions requiring professional SDI capture and playback without a conventional full-size PCIe card.

Its combination of simultaneous SDI capture and playback, reference synchronization and compact M.2 connectivity makes it particularly useful when professional video I/O must be integrated into small-form-factor computers.
