Blackmagic Duplicator 4K with 25 Built-in SD Card Recorders

Blackmagic Duplicator 4K

The Blackmagic Duplicator 4K allows delivery of Ultra HD content to consumers by recording files onto inexpensive SD cards that can be distributed to customers the moment an event is finished. Featuring 25 built-in SD card recorders, multi-rate 12G-SDI connections, and a real-time H.265 encoder, the Blackmagic Duplicator 4K is the best way to deliver Ultra HD content that customers can view on their 4K televisions and Windows 10 computers today.

The Blackmagic Duplicator 4K lets content creators dramatically increase revenue because it gives them a way to sell content right after a live event while attendees are still excited about the performance and before they walk out the door. Now customers can sell concert videos to fans as they leave the venue, to parents after their children’s latest performance or recital, after sporting events, conferences, sales seminars, and more.

The Blackmagic Duplicator 4K encodes video using H.265, which is the new standard for Ultra HD delivery, and saves files in an open file format on standard SD cards. The built-in real-time H.265 hardware encoder gives customers incredible-looking Ultra HD video, even at high frame rates up to 2160p60.

The H.265 video looks better than the older H.264 standard, and the files are small with data rates low so content can play back from standard SD card media. With H.265, Ultra HD content is not much larger in file size than an HD file would be in the older H.264 standard.

Featuring 25 SD card recorders miniaturized into a single rack unit, the Blackmagic Duplicator 4K uses standard, common SD cards that are readily available, super thin, inexpensive, and very fast. Cards can be used for SD, HD, and Ultra HD video up to 2160p60 and are compatible with Windows 10 computers. With the addition of a USB adapter, SD cards can even be plugged directly into most consumer Ultra HD televisions for immediate playback of video.

The built-in H.265 encoder is so efficient that a one-hour Ultra HD program can easily fit onto a very inexpensive 8GB SD card. SD cards are also easy to label and completely reusable, so customers can reformat unsold cards and record them again at their next event. Unlike proprietary disc-based formats like Blu-ray, customers don’t have to buy a slow and expensive player.

Blackmagic Duplicator 4K is the easiest, most compatible, and cost-effective way to distribute Ultra HD content to consumers today. The front panel controls are designed to make duplicating content as easy as possible and feature 6 large illuminated buttons for record, stop, lock, append, menu, and remote. The lock button prevents accidental interruption of recording during an event, and the append record button seamlessly combines recordings from different parts of an event into a single file.

This revolutionary new append recording feature is perfect for events that have natural breaks, like weddings with a ceremony and reception in different locations. Append recording makes it easier for consumers to watch the final program because they only have to play back a single movie file.

The Blackmagic Duplicator 4K features advanced, multi-rate 12G-SDI connections that can record all SD, HD, and Ultra HD formats up to 2160p60. For larger events, multiple duplicators can be stacked using the SDI loop-through and RS-422 deck control. This lets customers encode and duplicate to an unlimited number of SD cards in real-time. When recording is started or stopped on the first duplicator, the others automatically follow.
