The Blackmagic Design DeckLink Mini Monitor is a 1-lane PCIe playback card featuring both SDI and HDMI outputs, compatible with 1, 4, 8, and 16-lane PCIe slots. Unlike full capture and playback cards, the DeckLink Mini Monitor is designed exclusively for playback and monitoring, enabling you to color correct and present to clients on high-resolution HDMI or SDI monitors. It supports up to 1080p30 resolution and outputs 10-bit uncompressed video for precise monitoring directly from your computer. With automatic switching between SD and HD formats, it accommodates all standard video formats seamlessly. Ideal for use during editing, the card includes dual PCI Express shields for both full-height and low-profile slots, allowing flexibility in various setups.
