3G-SDI PCIe Playback Card for Broadcast Monitoring

The Blackmagic Design DeckLink Mini Monitor HD is a PCIe playback card built for broadcast-quality monitoring. It delivers 10-bit SD and HD video through switchable 3G-SDI and HDMI 2.0 outputs. The card supports video standards up to 1080p60 for professional workflows. It is designed for editors and colourists who need accurate external monitoring.

Sustained Output Stability Across Long Sessions

The card maintains consistent 10-bit signal quality over extended playback periods without dropped frames. Its PCI Express Gen 2 interface provides enough bandwidth for continuous 1080p60 delivery. Embedded audio stays locked to video with 16 channels over SDI and 8 channels over HDMI. HDR metadata passes through unchanged for the duration of the session.

Low-Profile Installation

The half-height bracket fits standard low-profile slots and requires no external power cable. Drivers install on Mac, Windows and Linux, but the card only appears in applications that support Blackmagic Desktop Video. A frequent issue is the output staying dark until the project timeline matches a supported 1080 frame rate exactly. Another common blocker is forgetting to enable the correct audio mapping in the software control panel.

Questions about this item

Does the DeckLink Mini Monitor HD card produce audible fan noise or require extra power cables when running continuously?

The card has no onboard fan and draws all power from the PCI Express slot, so it runs silently without additional cables.

Which monitor connections must I already have to use the HDMI 2.0 and 3G-SDI outputs?

You need a display or recorder with an HDMI 2.0 input for up to 1080p60 or a 3G-SDI input for 10-bit SD/HD video.

Will this card work in an older workstation that only has PCI Express Gen 1 slots?

The card uses a PCI Express Gen 2 interface; it will fit in a Gen 1 slot but operates at the lower Gen 1 bandwidth.
