Blackmagic Design DeckLink Mini Recorder 4K
8 / 10 Expert Rating
An excellent low-profile SDI/HDMI capture card for DaVinci Resolve editors, entirely wrong for gaming capture.

7 / 10 Expert Rating
Still a genuinely strong 4K60 HDR10 card if found discounted, though the 4K X and 4K Pro have since taken its place for good reasons.
