Blackmagic Duplicator 4K


Overview

Connect multiple duplicators for unlimited copies!

Each Blackmagic Duplicator 4K can make 25 copies at a time. If you’re working on larger events and need to make more copies, you can stack duplicators together and connect them with RS-422 and SDI loop through to make a virtually unlimited number of copies. If you need to deliver in multiple formats, you can add a Teranex Express between duplicators to convert into virtually any other format. That lets you make cards with regular HD in one duplicator and Ultra HD in another!

Control Panel

Make dozens of copies with the touch of a button!

The front panel of the Blackmagic Duplicator 4K is designed to make duplicating content as easy as possible. There are 6 large, illuminated buttons for record, stop, lock, append, menu and remote. The lock button prevents you from accidentally interrupting recording during an event, and the append button automatically merges incoming video into a single file, even if the camera starts and stops. The menu button lets you use the high resolution built in LCD to adjust other settings, and the remote button puts the duplicator into slave mode so it can be controlled remotely.

25 SD Recorders in One!

Built in high performance SD card recorders!

The Blackmagic Duplicator 4K features 25 SD card recorders miniaturized into a single rack unit! The slots are designed to hold standard, common SD cards that are available anywhere. Each recorder features an LED indicator light for monitoring the status of the card. All the cards can be simultaneously formatted and, when they’re ready, the LEDs turn green. They also act as status indicators, lighting red during recording and flashing in different colors if cards are getting full, or to warn you of a problem.

Status Screen

Large bright monitor for set up and video preview!

The built in LCD screen on the front panel shows you a full color preview of the live video. The screen can show overlays with critical clip metadata such as audio levels, recording status and resolution. You can also use the LCD screen to navigate additional settings such as compression data rate, total number of mounted cards, SDI start/stop triggers and more, all on the same display!

Multi Rate Connections

Professional broadcast connections for SD, HD and Ultra HD

The Blackmagic Duplicator 4K features an advanced, multi rate 12G-SDI connection that automatically switches speed so you can record all SD, HD and Ultra HD formats up to 2160p60. There’s also an SDI loop through for connecting to additional duplicators so you can record on to more cards. Easily control multiple units simultaneously by looping RS-422 deck control so when you start or stop recording on one, the others follow. You also get USB and ethernet ports, along with an optical fiber cage for adding optional fiber when you’re in a large venue set up far away from the camera or switcher!

Specifications

Now you can immediately sell content at live events the moment they finish! The Blackmagic Duplicator 4K allows you to deliver Ultra HD content to consumers using the latest technology H.265 files recorded onto inexpensive SD cards. You get realtime H.265 encoding and multi rate 12G-SDI connections for recording all SD, HD and Ultra HD formats up to 2160p60, along with 25 built in SD card recorders.
