DeckLink is the SDI/HDMI I/O card that turns a workstation into a real edit, color, playback, or streaming machine. SHTS sources every DeckLink — and, uniquely, will spec and build it into the PC, so the card, drivers, and horsepower actually match the job.
Single vs multi-channel, HD vs 12G 4K/8K, capture-only vs full duplex — the right DeckLink depends on what the machine does. Here’s the map.
Single-channel SDI (and HDMI on 4K models) capture and playback over PCIe. The reliable default for an edit bay, color suite, or a single-source playback/stream box.
SDI, HDMI, analog, and AES/balanced audio with LTC timecode and reference in one card — the Swiss-army I/O for facilities that still touch legacy signals or need full audio and sync.
Two (Duo) or four (Quad) independent SDI channels on a single card — for multi-channel playout servers, multiviewers, ingest stations, and channel-in-a-box builds.
A DeckLink is only as good as the workstation around it: PCIe lanes, CPU/GPU for the codec, fast media, and clean drivers. SHTS has built 100+ custom production PCs — we’ll spec the card and the machine as one quote, tested to actually play back what you throw at it.
