DeckLink Optical Fiber is the world’s first capture card to include
optical fiber SDI connections. DeckLink Optical Fiber is identical to
DeckLink SDI, but lowers the cost of using optical fiber SDI by
building optical fiber directly into the card! DeckLink Optical Fiber
is compatible with Windows™, Mac OS X™ and Linux™ and features
HD/SD-SDI, optical fiber SDI capture and playback, reference input,
RS-422 deck control and SD keying. DeckLink Optical Fiber let’s you use
common low cost optical fiber networking cable that electricians can
install. Optical Fiber is virtually future proof and is the future of
SDI video for the television industry.
