The Blackmagic Design Spares - DeckLink 8K Pro - HDMI 2.1 refers to the specific daughterboard or replacement interface module for the 8K Pro capture card. While the standard DeckLink 8K Pro uses four 12G-SDI ports, the HDMI 2.1 version is a specialized variant designed for high-end HDR monitoring and gaming capture workflows.

Core Specifications

This hardware is designed to handle massive data throughput for high-resolution, high-frame-rate video:

  • Resolution Support: Up to $7680 \times 4320$ (8K) at $60\text{fps}$.

  • Color Depth: Supports 8, 10, and 12-bit RGB 4:4:4, and YUV 4:2:2/4:2:0.

  • HDR Support: Full support for HDR10 and HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma) metadata.

  • Audio: Supports up to 8 channels of embedded HDMI audio.


Functional Role of the Spare Module

The HDMI 2.1 spare is typically sought for two reasons:

  1. Interface Failure: HDMI 2.1 ports are physically more fragile than SDI. Repeated plugging/unplugging can cause the internal solder pads to lift or the "tongue" of the port to snap.

  2. Conversion/Expansion: For some DeckLink 8K Pro configurations, the HDMI 2.1 module is a daughterboard that connects to the main PCIe processing board via a high-speed ribbon cable.

When to Replace the HDMI 2.1 Module

  • No Signal at 8K: If the card works perfectly at 4K but refuses to handshake or displays "snow" (digital noise) at 8K resolutions, the HDMI 2.1 redriver chip on the board may have failed.

  • Physical Port Sag: If the HDMI cable feels "loose" and the signal cuts out when the cable is touched, the physical port housing has separated from the PCB.

  • Handshake (HDCP) Issues: If the card fails to communicate with professional monitors or high-end TVs (like LG OLEDs) despite using a certified Ultra High Speed ($48\text{Gbps}$) HDMI cable.


Technical Installation Note

Repair Level: 2 (Moderate). Replacing the HDMI module on a DeckLink is straightforward but requires care.

  1. PCIe Slot Safety: Always remove the main card from the computer before attempting to detach the HDMI daughterboard.

  2. Ribbon Cable Alignment: The link between the main processing board and the HDMI 2.1 module is extremely high-bandwidth. If the connecting ribbon cable is even slightly crooked in its socket, the card may not be recognized by the Blackmagic Desktop Video software.

  3. Heat Sink Transfer: HDMI 2.1 chips run hot. If the spare part does not come with a pre-installed heat sink, you must move the original heat sink over using fresh thermal pads. Never run this card without active cooling, as the HDMI processor can overheat in seconds.

  4. Static Control: This card uses high-speed differential pairs that are extremely sensitive to Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). Use a grounded wrist strap.


Identifying the Failure

Symptom Probable Cause
"No Hardware Found" in Desktop Video Main PCIe board failure or loose ribbon cable.
Intermittent Flickering/Blackout Damaged HDMI port or non-certified cable.
Color Fringing/Artifacts Failing HDMI controller chip (Replacement required).

Expert Advice: 8K 60fps requires a "Certified Ultra High Speed" ($48\text{Gbps}$) HDMI cable. Before replacing the hardware, test the card with a cable shorter than $2\text{m}$. Most "8K failures" on this card are actually caused by using older HDMI 2.0 cables or active cables that don't support the full HDMI 2.1 bandwidth.

Are you experiencing a total loss of signal, or are you unable to reach specific 8K resolutions?

Great For Battery Chargers On a Shelf!
Love this power strip, had it for probably a year plus now abs works great! The sole reason I purchased this item was so I can select what stays on and what gets turned off. I have this in my utility room and the sole purpose is to plug in battery chargers and to be able to turn off those battery chargers and leave the charger sitting there with the battery in the charger with no power. There is a light that tells you when a product is on and when a product is off . Example: I have AA&AAA battery charger, Ryobi leaf blower charger, Ryobi edger charger and any other charger I want. I have a night light plugged into it because angle allows that. The strip also has a USB that I use for a rechargeable Dremel used for dog nails or toy could use it for cell phone etc. My Flying Pig Grooming Dryer is attached and used with this strip as well. I have had no tripping issues with this power strip but I do keep in mind one high power items such as my grooming dryer at a time. I have a different company's power strip in my room just for you ladies it hidden behind a mirror and you can keep all your appliances plugged in and cell phones with the option of turning them all off with a button, cutting off power. This is an easy to reach power cord great for putting on a shelf. I am not sure how well it would work behind furniture due to the angle of the plugs. This worked with no issues and I would recommend this and purchase again. Now I am not concerned about saving items due to power surges with this power strip, I have strips that cost a lot of money a lifetime guarantee for those high end electronics like computers TV sets Etc

Good setup
This has been super useful and functional, I recommend it as it’s a nice way to keep your setup organized, I enjoy having the on and off switches go each outlet, only call out would be the buttons light up when on to show they are on and they are quite bright, so take note of it, it catches me off guard sometimes when I forget they light up and I turn my lights off, but it’s easier to keep in mind what I have charging. The speed of charging is good, the amount of plugs is a fair amount, I plug in my head phones, phone, watch, power bank and monitor. Then there’s the two usb as well as 2 usbc ports, it’s very convenient. It held up well it’s definitely good quality.

Thoroughly enjoy this product and will purchase again
I purchased two of these at different times. I really like this item. I like the idea that I could shut off some of the switches that I really don’t need. I have one set up in the guest room for when we have company they can turn on whatever plugs they need. I’ll always have alarm clocks lamps telephone jacks hooked up, but all the switches are turned off so it doesn’t waste electricity. (that’s my theory anyway.) I purchased a second one to go beside my chair in my living room I don’t need that many outlets at all times but occasionally I do and I enjoy again like having the opportunity to shut off any outlets that I’m not needing at the time it seems to me it’s a good power saver and I do like the USB ports everything fits and it’s perfectly organized and it’s great quality surge protector and durability. I hope this review assist you in anyway and I will probably come back and purchase a third one for another room once I get that room cleaned out Truth Hurts on it, but that was my testimony.. This is my honest review in my opinion I hope it’s able to help you make your decision. I personally don’t think you would go wrong but I don’t know what you’re plugging into the outlet so I think that makes a bit different. I just use it for lamps and telephone jacks or small items I don’t use anything. It pulls a lot of voltage. . Y’all take care of yourselves be kind to one another and go see your parents or your grandparents or a family member if anything else pick up the phone and tell them hello and you were thinking about Let’s spread love, not hate

Has a ton of quality of life features!
These are one of those products that makes you go "why doesn't anyone else do this"? First off, the 45 degree(ish) angle that the outlets are at. Since a lot of outlet adapter plugs can be plugged in upside down, the angle of the outlet helps considerably for semi-tight spaces. While also still having room to turn the individual outlets on and off. The width spacing is also considerably large so those beefy power bricks won't overlap/block-off other outlets. Secondly, the prior-mentioned outlet on and off switches. Each individual AC outlet has its own on/off switch. So if I have a lamp that always needs to be plugged in, I can leave that on. If I have a USB C adapter brick to charge my phone, I can turn that off when its not in use. Without needing to turn off the lamp's outlet in the process. Thirdly, the always on USB A (the rectangular USB outlets), and the USB C ports to the top side of the outlet. Please note that the USB C ports are about 20 watts. So while it can TECHNICALLY charge a laptop, its best used to passively charge a laptop when it isn't being used. Not while actively using a laptop. Since even moderately efficient laptops can draw watts well into the 40's range. That aside, when used within their intended watt ranges, they're extremely convenient to have in addition to everything else. I generally use them to charge things like power banks. Possibly low powered USB C devices like a Nintendo Switch or even a GPD microPC which draws 15 or so watts while in use. So while the ports aren't the highest in terms of watts, there's times of many where I didn't care how many watts a port had, I just needed a USB port period. Fourth wise, the safety protections. If you somehow manage to overload this outlet, it can cut off its own power. It can be "reset" by pressing the red button to the side. Fifthly, the actual plug to plug the power outlet into a wall or in my case a UPS machine, is insanely flat. With the cord being at a 45 or so degree angle. So even if its on a top outlet, it probably won't block off most plugs from using the bottom outlet. Sixth and finally (at least from what I remember off the top of my head 😂), the wire that connects the power outlet to your power source is really flat and easy to manage. All of these traits makes it one of the least contentious things anybody can buy. Its just a straight up quality of life improvement. If I ever need more power outlets, I know which one to double dip on!
