Blackmagic Design shared news about their DeckLink IP 100G today. This new PCIe Gen 4 card helps people catch or send up to 8 channels of HD and Ultra HD video at once into 2110 IP systems. The card comes with two 100G Ethernet QSFP ports that create backup options or let you link to different 100G Ethernet switches. It keeps cool with built-in fans. When you need faster transfers between DeckLink and GPUs, it works with GPUDirect RDMA, which cuts down PCIe use and makes everything run quicker. You can buy this card starting July from places that sell Blackmagic Design stuff for $1,795.
Visitors will see DeckLink IP 100G at booth #SL216 during NAB 2025. These cards make grabbing and playing video directly into 2110 IP broadcast systems really easy. They act just like other DeckLink cards, meaning your software already knows how to use them. Each card handles many video channels, plus every channel works both ways at once. This lets you build servers that make broadcast graphics, virtual sets, or use GPUs for AI picture work - all plugged straight into 2110 IP broadcast setups. You might even edit broadcasts with DaVinci Resolve using these cards. The fast PCIe connection fits the latest Mac Pro, Windows, and Linux computers.
The cards follow SMPTE ST2110 rules for IP video, which tell how video, sound, and extra data travel across managed IP networks for broadcasting. Everything stays synced using a PTP clock. These cards support several standards, including SMPTE-2110-20 for raw video, SMPTE-2110-21 for traffic control, SMPTE-2110-30 for audio, and SMPTE-2110-40 for extra data. What makes SMPTE 2110 great? All parts move separately through the network.
Computers linked to 2110 IP video networks face risks from bad software or hackers because anyone might send stuff to the computer's Ethernet link. DeckLink IP fixes this by moving all video through frame buffers, creating a video firewall. The DeckLink IP Ethernet port only deals with video and audio - nothing else. Like all DeckLink products, video and audio go into onboard frame buffers where playback happens before changing to 2110 IP video channels. This completely blocks hackers or bad programs from touching the 2110 IP network directly.
These cards connect fast to host computers and handle several HD and Ultra HD video channels, based on which model you pick. Each channel records and plays at the same time. PCI Express gives quick response times and exact time matching between software that records or plays video. The cards work with many formats since they're multi-rate. They handle all SD types plus HD formats like 720p, 1080i, and 1080p up to 1080p60. Ultra HD support covers everything up to 2160p60. Each channel sets its format separately and changes instantly through Desktop Video Utility or the DeckLink SDK.
DeckLink IP cards deliver top-quality video. They work with popular formats such as Apple ProRes, DNxHD, or pure 10-bit uncompressed video. Most TV uses 10-bit standards since colors appear four times more precise than 8-bit video. Working with 10-bit uncompressed means every picture matches the source exactly - perfect for green screens, special effects, and color fixing. All models fit within 10G Ethernet per channel limits, making downstream products smaller and cheaper. For Ultra HD at 2160p59.94 or 2160p60, the IP10 codec helps by lowering data rates with almost no delay. This small codec uses few FPGA resources, keeping SMPTE-2110 IP video gear affordable.
The cards play nicely with popular video programs, letting you use tools you already know. DaVinci Resolve works perfectly as a 2110 IP broadcast editing system with these cards. Since each card captures and plays simultaneously, you can use live grading in DaVinci Resolve to record video, fix colors, and output everything at once. They also work with Final Cut Pro, Media Composer, Premiere Pro, and more. You can create amazing visual effects using Fusion, After Effects, and Photoshop. Windows users benefit from an included WDM driver as well.
DaVinci Resolve pairs perfectly with DeckLink IP cards! This free program for Mac, Windows, and Linux includes professional editing, colorwork, effects, and audio tools without monthly fees. The familiar track layout offers plenty of editing tools plus high-quality transitions, effects, and title designs. The color correction system uses full 32-bit float YRGB processing with primary and secondary tools, power windows, 3D object tracking, advanced AI features, and much more.
Broadcast graphics creators want familiar tools that need no retraining. DeckLink cards work with Fusion, a visual effects software built into DaVinci Resolve, plus Adobe After Effects and Photoshop. Fusion Studio offers powerful node-based effects with 2D and 3D environments and hundreds of tools. Use Blackmagic Media Express software to capture and playback video files for Fusion, After Effects, or Photoshop projects.
These cards work just like other DeckLink products, making them compatible with popular streaming software. You can build stations that stream live to millions of viewers online. Mac users enjoy Open Broadcaster, Wirecast, and similar programs. Windows streamers use Open Broadcaster, Xsplit Broadcaster, and Wirecast. Any 2110 IP feed converts into live streams for multiple online platforms. Combined with ATEM Streaming Bridge, you can even connect remote broadcast networks.
Every DeckLink card includes a free developer SDK for Mac, Windows, and Linux. This makes creating custom solutions easy, whether for internal use or for selling to broadcasters. The SDK provides both detailed hardware control and simpler interfaces for common tasks. Thousands of companies use Blackmagic DeckLink cards, proving that the SDK offers a solid foundation for broadcast solutions. Grant Petty from Blackmagic Design mentioned that their earlier DeckLink IP cards became popular, but customers asked for higher-end versions handling multiple video channels. He finds the card exciting and looks forward to seeing what people create with it, especially with new AI processing abilities.
