Blackmagic Design HD Link pro

HDLink Pro allows any supported DVI or HDMI display to be used for incredible HD-SDI monitoring. HDLink Pro supports the new 3 Gb/s SDI standard for twice the SDI data rate than normal HD-SDI. 3 Gb/s SDI retains compatibility with normal HD-SDI and standard definition SDI equipment, however the higher 3 Gb/s data rate allows 4:4:4 video using a single BNC type connection, or Blackmagic Design's new 2k via SDI allows high resolution real time 2048 x 1556 feature film editing.

2K via SDI is featured on Blackmagic Design's new Multibridge Eclipse, and, when used with HDLink Pro and a 30 inch DVI display, real time 2048 x 1556 2K feature film resolution playback is easy. 2K via SDI allows 2K film editing with the convenience of long connection cable lengths and patching common in large video systems.

HDLink Pro includes color management via built in 3D lookup tables that allow any feature film stock to be simulated so editors can always see the correct color of the final film output. Popular 3D lookup tables can be loaded for various film stocks, and HDLink Pro is compatible with third party software products for generating tables. Included in HDLink Utility software on Windows and Mac OS X systems is full control for adjusting tables and generating custom "looks" for download into HDLink Pro.

When editing with complex 5.1 surround sound audio tracks, HDLink Pro allows full 5.1 monitoring by including 6 separate channels of audio output.

HDLink Pro is perfect for high definition or 2K film monitoring, and switches between SD, HD and 2K instantly. HDLink also features a revolutionary new chassis with all connections from one side, so mounting on the back of displays allows cables exit from the bottom for better cable management.
