The Blackmagic Design Cable for UltraStudio and DeckLink Studio is a dedicated connectivity solution designed to facilitate the analog stereo audio inputs and outputs for specific models within the UltraStudio and DeckLink product families. This specialized breakout cable serves as an essential interface, converting the proprietary multi-pin connector found on certain capture and playback devices into standard, easy-to-use 3.5mm stereo audio jacks.

It enables users to connect professional audio sources, such as mixing consoles or microphone preamps, to the analog audio input of their card or external box, and similarly, to route the processed audio output to studio monitors, headphones, or recording systems. The cable is engineered to maintain signal integrity with proper shielding to minimize noise and interference, which is critical for preserving audio quality in professional video editing, color grading, and broadcast environments. Its construction is robust, featuring molded connectors for strain relief, ensuring durability with repeated use in rack-mounted or desktop setups.

This cable is not a generic adapter but a specifically tailored accessory required to unlock the full analog audio I/O capabilities of compatible Blackmagic Design hardware, making it a crucial component for audio-for-video workflows that rely on both digital SDI and analog audio connections.
