  • Does a version of the decklink card allow for simultaneous input/output?

    Hello,

    Is there a version of the decklink card that allows simultaneous input/output? I need to be able to capture an SDI video source and immediately be able to cue/pause/playback the file in SDI while it is still recording. I am still searching for software that will allow this but I am wondering if one of the decklink cards allows this kind of input/output? If not, can I install 2 decklink cards in the same system to accomplish independent input and output?

    Thank you for your help,

    Unfortunately no. Our boards do not do this. However this can be achieved by using two boards in the same machine on a PC. Of course a specialized software is required to handle both cards. But in theory you could use a setup like this to capture with one board and output with another.
