Q: 1. Would this support live color grading of an HDR signal inside of Resolve Studio? Signal would be coming from various game consoles.

A: Sorry - should have elaborated. Potential setup: Standalone PS5 outputting HDR signal to HDMI splitter; splitter output #1 to HDR monitor #1 for untreated monitoring; splitter output #2 to PC and into Resolve for "live" color grading on HDR monitor #2. By "live" I mean without capturing video clips to THEN be graded. A slight lag/delay doesn't matter too much - I'd just like the game to remain playable and have the preview in Resolve update automatically, and support setting up grades without needing to capture clips.

Q: 6. What is the quality of capturing an HDMI output from a computer? I currently have tested the Decklink 8K Pro and mini 4K recorder cards but both of these make computer images look horrible. The computer texts look interlaced and blurry at best. Can someone confirm that this card will capture razor sharp HDMI output from a computer and the texts look sharp and images have proper color reproduction? Thanks!

A: Try changing the HDMI output Hertz on your computer. Chances are, you are outputting at 60 Hz and want to lower the output.

A: I have had perfect success with the Sonnet Technologies Echo Express SE IIIe 3 PCIe Slot, Thunderbolt 3 Expansion Chassis. Has worked perfectly!

Q: 8. I realize this might not perform as well as it would with the 3.0 interface, but Will this functionally operate (backward compatible) with a PCI Express 2.0 interface ? And If I'm using just 2... maybe 3 HDMI ports, would I likely be able to use it without issues if I'm just doing 1080p ??

A: Using a PCIe Gen 2 slot might limit your performance and may or may not work when trying to input or output multiple signals simultaneously.

Q: 9. Would this Capture Card allow for 4 inputs from separate Gaming Consoles and allow for switching between each HDMI feed without a delay within a Streaming Software such as OBS?

A: I can not honestly answer this as I don't use it for gaming. But I do use it with 4 cameras for live streaming and it switches between cameras without any delay.

Q: 10. Is there a user manual somewhere?

A: Yes, you can find it on the Blackmagic Design website. If you go into the DeckLink product specs page you can find the link in the Description section. You can also find it in the Support page under Latest Support Notes. It is also included when you install the Desktop Video driver for the card.
