Overview of Blackmagic Design Duplicator 4K with 25 SD Card Slots
The Blackmagic Duplicator 4K is like two recorders in one! Featuring 25 built in SD card recorders, Blackmagic Duplicator 4K can record to all 25 cards at a time, or be changed to record to a single card at a time for long form recording. When recording to all 25 SD cards, you get a duplicator that gives you 25 x H.264 or H.265 copies that you can sell to customers the moment a live event finishes. Imagine selling your program as attendees leave concerts, training seminars, or even school events! When changed to record a single SD card at a time, Blackmagic Duplicator 4K becomes a powerful long form recorder. With 25 SD cards, you can record for weeks at a time without needing to change the cards out. You can even set Blackmagic Duplicator to automatically clear the oldest card for infinite recording, making it perfect for security and broadcast program logging.
From major network broadcasters to local affiliates, everything that gets shown on air needs to be archived for future reference. Instead of large, expensive servers that require massive storage closets, you can now record archives from air onto small, regular SD cards that are easily stored on a small shelf! The Blackmagic Duplicator 4K is perfect for recording directly from security cameras or cameras in situations where you can have sudden events happening that need to be captured and preserved! Even broadcasters can use this to capture sudden events that you don't want to miss. Just keep recording and if anything happens, you always have a broadcast quality H.265 or H.264 copy in perfect Ultra HD!
