    You’ll need some sort of D/A converter….

    Hi,

    The audio outputs of the DeckLink HD Pro card are digital whereas the audio inputs to your speakers are analog so you’re going to need some kind of convertor, eg a Flying Cow convertor, or a different model DeckLink card or different model of speakers. The DeckLink HD Extreme card has analog XLR audio outputs so that would be an option for you if you are not using 4:4:4 video.
