The Blackmagic Design UltraStudio 4K Extreme 3 - PCB Main is the primary logic board for Blackmagic’s most powerful rackmount capture and playback solution. Given the "Extreme" nature of this hardware, the Main PCB is a massive, high-density board engineered to handle 12G-SDI, HDMI 2.0, and high-speed PCIe or Thunderbolt 3 data streams simultaneously.

Enterprise-Grade Processing Power

The Main PCB acts as the heart of the UltraStudio 4K Extreme 3, managing the heavy lifting for 4K DCI and Ultra HD workflows up to 60p. It is specifically designed to support:

  • 4:4:4:4 and 12-bit RGB Support: The board handles extremely high color precision for high-end color grading in DaVinci Resolve.

  • Hardware Codec Support: It features onboard processing for hardware-accelerated encoding/decoding, reducing the CPU load on the host workstation.

  • Stereoscopic 3D: Manages the dual-stream SDI connections required for high-frame-rate 3D capture and playback.

Extensive I/O Integration

Because the UltraStudio 4K Extreme 3 is a 2RU rackmount unit, the Main PCB is much larger than those found in the "Mini" or portable units. It serves as the mounting point for a vast array of professional connections:

  • Dual 12G-SDI Inputs/Outputs: For quad-link or dual-link 4K configurations.

  • HDMI 2.0 In/Out: Providing the full 18Gbps bandwidth required for 4K 60p HDR monitoring.

  • Analog Video I/O: Component, Composite, and S-Video processing logic.

  • Thunderbolt 3 & PCIe: The board manages the high-speed bridge to the host computer, whether via the 40Gbps Thunderbolt 3 port or the external PCIe Gen 3 connector for dedicated workstation integration.

Audio and Sync Management

The Main PCB is responsible for more than just video; it handles a massive amount of audio and sync data:

  • AES/EBU and Analog Audio: Manages the high-quality A/D and D/A conversion for the balanced XLR inputs.

  • Timecode and Reference: Houses the logic for LTC timecode and tri-sync/black burst reference inputs, essential for broadcast facility integration.

  • RS-422 Deck Control: Includes the serial control logic for interfacing with professional broadcast decks.

Key Features

  • Genuine High-Performance Spare: Designed specifically for the "Extreme 3" iteration (Thunderbolt 3 version).

  • Broadcast Reliability: Built with high-tolerance components intended for 24/7 operation in broadcast environments.

  • Multi-Format Support: Pre-configured to work with the full spectrum of SD, HD, Ultra HD, and 4K DCI formats.

  • PCIe Bridge Logic: Specifically optimized for low-latency communication with the host OS.

Technical Installation Note

The UltraStudio 4K Extreme 3 is a complex, multi-component piece of hardware. Replacing the Main PCB is a significant undertaking:

  • Internal Cable Density: The unit contains numerous internal ribbon cables and power looms connecting the front panel, power supply, and rear I/O. These must be meticulously labeled and reconnected.

  • Thermal Considerations: The Main PCB features large heat sinks for its processing chips. Ensure there is no obstruction to the internal fans after the board is seated.

  • Firmware Sync: After installation, the board may require a firmware update via the Blackmagic Desktop Video Utility to ensure it matches the software version on the host computer.

  • Static Hazard: Due to the high cost and complexity of the board, an ESD-safe workspace is non-negotiable during installation.

a good choice
Color: Black, Size: Pack of 1, Color: Black, Size: Pack of 1
Assembled chair only to find that the lift cylinder was faulty. Would have preferred to be able to just get a replacement cylinder but calling China didn't seem like a viable option. Guessing which one & buying it online would involve paying for a good portion of what the chair cost. Customer service could only offer a replacement or refund. We're disassembling (so much fun?!) to send it back. The chair itself was very comfortable, assembled fairly easily and instructions pretty clear. Again, if we could only have asked the seller for the replacement part......**Update**...Or if the instructions that seemed so clear were clearer!, as we started to disassemble, we decided to see what would happen if the tension knob (see photo) was loosened. IT ALLOWED THE LIFT CYLINDER TO WORK. Not at all what the instructions say. At any rate, we're keeping the chair.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely love this chair! It was super easy to assemble—I had it set up in no time with clear instructions and minimal effort. The comfort level is fantastic; the seat cushion is just right and the back support makes it great for longer sitting sessions. The color is beautiful in person—clean, modern, and adds a fresh pop to the room without being overwhelming. I also really like the smooth wheels and sturdy build; it feels stable and well-made. Overall, this is a great combination of style, comfort, and value. Highly recommend!

Great Chair! Worth the Price!
Color: Sky Blue, Size: Pack of 1
LOVE my new desk chair! I got the Sky Blue which is a really pretty blue in person. I work from home in tech, and had been getting constant headaches no matter what position I was in. I finally decided to invest in a better desk chair, and I'm SO glad I did! It's much more supportive and comfortable. I really like that I can flip the arms up or down, and the height is easy to adjust. Also, because I can flip the arms up, I can keep the chair out of the way when I'm not working by putting it right up against the desk. Very much worth the price! Assembly was simply and quick. Not even 30 minutes. Also, when I had a question about the chair, their support team was quick to respond and very helpful. Highly recommend!
