Blackmagic Design BMD-BDLKMICROREC DeckLink Micro Recorder

Miniature Video Capture Solution for Compact PC-Based Systems
The Blackmagic Design DeckLink Micro Recorder is a compact, low-latency video capture card built for developers, integrators, and OEMs who need high-quality SDI or HDMI video input on miniaturized hardware platforms. Designed to fit into a single-lane Mini PCIe Gen 1 slot, this micro recorder card supports all SD and HD formats up to 1080p30. Its ultra-small footprint and powerful performance make it ideal for embedded capture applications including mobile broadcast units, custom streaming encoders, and compact capture PCs.

Designed for SDI and HDMI Integration via Dedicated Connectors
Video input is provided through two dedicated connectors—Hirose® for SDI and Molex® for HDMI—giving system designers the flexibility to route signals precisely as needed. These professional-grade interfaces ensure clean, stable video signal capture without compromising bandwidth or image quality. The DeckLink Micro Recorder is built for developers who require direct board-to-board signal access in tightly packed designs where standard I/O panels aren't feasible.

Supports Multiple Broadcast Video Standards up to 1080p30
The card supports a wide range of standard-definition and high-definition video formats, including NTSC, PAL, 720p, and 1080p up to 30 frames per second. This versatility allows the Micro Recorder to be integrated into diverse workflows across AV, security, broadcast, and live streaming. With low latency and direct hardware capture, it’s a reliable choice for applications that demand real-time responsiveness.

Optimized for Custom Systems Using Mini PCIe Architecture
Unlike conventional capture cards that require full-size PCIe slots, the DeckLink Micro Recorder is engineered to fit into compact systems that use Mini PCIe. This makes it compatible with a wide range of embedded PCs, industrial systems, and small form-factor builds. It's ideal for use in environments where space, power, and thermal footprint are all critical factors.

Perfect for OEMs and Developers Building Custom Capture Solutions
The DeckLink Micro Recorder is not just for general consumers—it’s designed specifically for developers and OEMs building custom capture and streaming products. Whether you’re creating compact streaming devices, portable encoders, or integrated capture appliances, this card gives you professional video input capabilities in an ultra-small form factor.
