FAQs

What are the primary applications for the DeckLink IP 100G?

It is designed for broadcast studios and live production environments needing high-density, multi-channel IP video capture and playback within SMPTE ST2110 workflows, including graphics playout, virtual sets, and GPU-accelerated processing.

What is GPUDirect RDMA?

GPUDirect RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) allows the DeckLink card to transfer data directly to and from the GPU's memory, bypassing the CPU, which significantly accelerates processing for graphics, VFX, and AI applications.

Does this card support uncompressed video?

Yes, it supports 10-bit uncompressed video up to Ultra HD 60p, which is crucial for maintaining the highest image quality for demanding broadcast and post-production tasks.

What SMPTE ST2110 standards are supported?

It supports SMPTE-2110-20 (uncompressed video), SMPTE-2110-21 (traffic shaping and timing), SMPTE-2110-30 (audio), and SMPTE-2110-40 (ancillary data), all synchronized using a common PTP clock.

What kind of network connection is required?

The card features dual 100G QSFP ports and requires a network infrastructure capable of supporting 100GbE and SMPTE ST2110 protocols.

Is it compatible with standard video editing software?

Yes, it is compatible with professional video editing and broadcast software that supports Blackmagic DeckLink capture cards, including DaVinci Resolve.

How does the video firewall feature work?

The video firewall uses frame buffers to isolate video and audio transfers, preventing unauthorized access to the IP network and enhancing security.

Troubleshooting

No video signal detected

Verify network connectivity, confirm ST2110 stream is active and correctly configured, check PTP synchronization, and ensure the correct video standard is selected in the Blackmagic Desktop Video software.

Poor video or audio synchronization

Ensure PTP is correctly configured and synchronized across all ST2110 devices. Check network switch configuration for QoS and traffic shaping relevant to ST2110.

High CPU usage or dropped frames

Confirm PCIe Gen 4 slot is utilized for maximum bandwidth. Optimize system cooling. Review application settings for potential bottlenecks and ensure GPUDirect RDMA is enabled if applicable for the workflow.

Card not recognized by the system

Reseat the card in the PCIe slot. Ensure the latest Blackmagic Desktop Video drivers are installed. Check system BIOS for PCIe settings and enable the slot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Install the DeckLink IP 100G into a compatible PCIe Gen 4 slot on a Mac Pro, Windows, or Linux computer. Ensure your network is configured for SMPTE ST2110, including proper PTP (Precision Time Protocol) setup for synchronization. Install the Blackmagic Desktop Video software. Configure IP addresses, network interfaces, and ST2110 streams using the provided software utilities and your broadcast control system.

Compatibility: Compatible with Mac OS, Windows, and Linux operating systems. Requires computers with PCIe Gen 4 slots. Network infrastructure must support 100GbE and SMPTE ST2110 standards. Compatible with professional video editing and broadcast software that supports Blackmagic DeckLink capture cards, including DaVinci Resolve, and other ST2110-compliant applications.

Care: Keep the card and its slot free from dust and debris. Ensure adequate system cooling to prevent overheating, as this is a high-bandwidth device. Avoid physical stress on the PCIe slot and connectors. Software updates for the Blackmagic Desktop Video drivers should be applied regularly to ensure optimal performance and compatibility.
