It also includes 2 x 100G Ethernet QSFP ports for redundancy, or connecting to two separate 100G Ethernet switches, as well as built in cooling. DeckLink IP 100G also supports GPUDirect RDMA for direct memory transfers between DeckLink and GPUs, reducing PCIe bandwidth when processing video on GPUs for a significant reduction in latency.
HyperDeck Shuttle 4K Pro (US$1,495; available now): A new live media player and master recorder. The design includes ergonomic physical controls so customers can search through lots of media and play clips. It also has a large built in 7-inch LCD touchscreen for monitoring and scopes.

With 10G Ethernet and internal M.2 media, HyperDeck Shuttle 4K Pro is more than a HyperDeck as it's also a network storage device. That means it can share its media with large workflows of editors and colorists.
Blackmagic 2110 IP SDI to HDMI 12G models (from US$495; available in June): Designed to allow the latest OLED TV to be used for color accurate monitoring, such as in color grading and edit suites. They will convert 2110 IP video or 12G-SDI video to HDMI in all SD, HD and Ultra HD video standards and include XLR analog outputs for driving powered speakers for audio monitoring.

Blackmagic Streaming Decoder 4K (US$675, available now): A new streaming processor that decodes the live H.264 and H.265 streams from an encoder or camera and converts it to SDI or HDMI with talkback, tally and camera control. In addition, the name of the Blackmagic Web Presenter will be changed to Blackmagic Streaming Encoder so both models are easier to understand and there is a matching set of streaming encoder and decoder products. Together, these two products allow broadcasters to build high quality video links across the world in true broadcast quality HD and Ultra HD.
