Valid video signals supported by HDLink Pro 3D include 2K, HD1080, HD720, NTSC and PAL. Computer video
formats are generally not supported unless they coincidentally match a TV format. HDLink can be used to monitor
the output of a Blackmagic Design DVI Extender in either Video or Extender (computer resolution) modes.
Detailed information is available in the DVI Extender manual. Please see the following HDLink specifications link
on the Blackmagic Design website for a full listing of current formats supported via DisplayPort displays. Check

HDLink is preconfigured for you, requiring no initial setup to connect. Your HDLink will simply run without changing
any settings, however, if you would like to update the firmware, enable 3D stereoscopic dual stream input,
modify settings or load custom gamma tables, then use the HDLink Utility software. This can be downloaded
from the Blackmagic Design web site support page. Check

HDLink Pro 3D uses the same software as other HDLink models and shares the same software interface for
changing settings including 3D LUTs. 3D and 1D lookup tables can be applied to the DisplayPort output of
HDLink Pro 3D. If HDLink Pro 3D is configured to send lookup tables to all video outputs, the lookup tables will
be applied to the SDI output in addition to the DisplayPort output.
DisplayPort monitors are shown in all of the connection diagrams for this HDLink model. However HDLink Pro
3D supports the use of DisplayPort, DVI-D and HDMI displays. In order to connect to DVI-D or HDMI displays,
a third party DisplayPort-to-DVI-D, DisplayPort-to-Dual Link DVI-D or DisplayPort-to-HDMI adapter is required.
An HDMI display can be used in all cases except for 2K monitoring as HDMI displays do not have sufficient
resolution to display a full 2K image. HDMI displays are also best for use with HD720p50 as most DisplayPort
and DVI displays do not support this format.
A single-link DVI-D display can be used in all cases except for 2K monitoring as DVI-D displays do not have
sufficient resolution to display a full 2K image. 30” dual-link DVI-D displays can be used in all cases including
2K monitoring.
HDLink Pro 3D provides two SDI inputs which can be used for standard definition SDI, HD-SDI 4:2:2,
Dual Link HD-SDI 4:4:4, 3 Gb/s HD-SDI 4:4:4 video or 2K film as shown in the connection diagrams
of this manual.
The consumer level analog audio outputs are fully compatible with a wide range of consumer HiFi equipment
and are perfect for monitoring of stereo audio or even up to 6 channels of audio. Audio output via DisplayPort
is also supported.
