    Hi all,

    I am looking into purchasing a Black Magic DeckLink Studio and I am having difficulty determining how to maintain the 10 bit signal so that it reaches out DreamColor and Panasonic SC-BT300. This is a for a mac pro.

    Any suggestions on the simplest solution would be a major help. Thank you!

    Also, can I maintain the 10bit signal with a powered HDMI splitter? Thanks again!

    HDMI is a digital signal. Splitting the signal will not affect the bit depth so a powered splitter should be fine. It also appears that the Blackmagic Decklink studio is 10-bit HDMI, as some other Blackmagic products are only 8-bit.
