About the Blackmagic Design BMD-BDLKDVQDHDMI4K DeckLink Quad HDMI Recorder

The Blackmagic Design DeckLink Quad HDMI Recorder is a specialized, high-density PCI Express capture card designed to simultaneously record or stream from four independent HDMI video sources. It is engineered for multi-camera production workflows where multiple HDMI feeds need to be ingested into a computer in real-time, such as in live event streaming, e-sports broadcasting, lecture capture, surveillance monitoring, or multi-viewer recording setups. Unlike standard capture cards that may handle one or two inputs, this card consolidates four full-bandwidth HDMI 2.0 inputs onto a single PCIe card, simplifying system design and saving valuable slots in a production computer.

A key strength of this card is its ability to handle each input as a completely independent channel, supporting resolutions up to 4Kp30 (2160p30) or 1080p60 on all four inputs simultaneously. This allows for the recording of four separate 1080p60 streams or four 4Kp30 streams to different files or as isolated tracks within professional software like DaVinci Resolve, vMix, OBS, or Wirecast. The card captures video with high quality, supporting 10-bit YUV 4:2:2 color for accurate color reproduction, which is vital for post-production work. It also captures embedded HDMI audio from each source, ensuring perfect synchronization.

Targeted at professional broadcast engineers, live production studios, and content creation facilities, the DeckLink Quad HDMI Recorder is a workhorse for multi-camera HDMI workflows. It requires a powerful computer with a fast CPU, ample RAM, and high-speed storage to handle the data rate of four concurrent video streams. By providing reliable, frame-accurate capture of multiple HDMI sources on a single card, it offers an efficient and scalable solution for building sophisticated multi-camera recording and streaming systems.

Key Features

  • Record up to DCI 4K60 HDMI Video
  • 4 x HDMI 2.0b Inputs
  • PCIe Interface Card
  • Up to 4K30 12-Bit 4:2:2 in All Modes

FAQs about Blackmagic Design BMD-BDLKDVQDHDMI4K DeckLink Quad HDMI Recorder

What is the Blackmagic DeckLink Quad HDMI Recorder?

It is a high-performance 8-lane PCIe capture card equipped with four independent HDMI 2.0b inputs. It allows computers to ingest four distinct HDMI video feeds simultaneously in any combination of SD, HD, Ultra HD, and 4K formats.

What maximum resolution and frame rate does each HDMI input support?

Each of the four inputs can independently capture resolutions up to DCI 4K (4096x2160) at 60 frames per second and Ultra HD (3840x2160) at 60 frames per second. It also supports standard 1080p, 1080i, and 720p HD formats up to 60 fps.

Does each input show up as an independent capture device?

Yes, the card appears in operating systems and streaming software as four completely separate capture cards. This allows live production applications like vMix, OBS Studio, and Wirecast to assign each HDMI port to a different source independently.

What PCIe slot specification is required on the host computer?

It requires a physical PCIe x8 or x16 generation 3 (Gen 3) expansion slot on the motherboard to provide sufficient bus bandwidth for four 4K60 video streams. It can also operate in an external Thunderbolt-to-PCIe expansion chassis connected to compatible laptops or workstations.

How does the card handle audio ingestion?

It captures up to 8 channels of uncompressed digital audio embedded in the HDMI signal per input (up to 32 total audio channels across all four inputs). It supports standard 24-bit broadcast audio sampled at 48 kHz.

Does the DeckLink Quad HDMI Recorder support HDMI video outputs?

No, this card is strictly a capture card and features four HDMI inputs only; it does not provide any video or audio outputs. If your workflow requires HDMI playback or loop-through monitoring, you will need a playback card or an outboard HDMI splitter.

Can it capture HDR and high-bit-depth color formats?

Yes, it supports 8-bit and 10-bit YUV 4:2:2, as well as 10-bit and 12-bit RGB 4:4:4 color spaces up to 4K30 (8-bit RGB up to 4K60). It also supports Rec. 2020 wide color gamut and HDR metadata capture.

Which operating systems are supported?

The card is supported across Windows (10 and 11, 64-bit), macOS (including Apple Silicon via external PCIe enclosures), and Linux. Device drivers and configuration settings are managed through Blackmagic Desktop Video software.
