Description

Blackmagic Design Spares - Fan - DeckLink 4K Extreme 12GThe Blackmagic Design Spares Fan DeckLink 4K Extreme 12G is a high velocity, low profile cooling unit designed specifically for the dual PCB architecture of the DeckLink 4K Extreme 12G. Because this card features two daughterboards and handles massive data throughput (up to 12G SDI and HDMI 2. 0), it generates significantly more heat than standard capture cards, making the fan a mission critical component.

The Blackmagic Design Spares - Fan - DeckLink 4K Extreme 12G is a high-velocity, low-profile cooling unit designed specifically for the dual-PCB architecture of the DeckLink 4K Extreme 12G. Because this card features two daughterboards and handles massive data throughput (up to 12G-SDI and HDMI 2.0), it generates significantly more heat than standard capture cards, making the fan a mission-critical component.

Thermal Management for 12G-SDI

The DeckLink 4K Extreme 12G utilizes a high-performance FPGA to manage real-time 4K 60p capture and playback. The fan is integrated into a specialized shroud system that directs air across both the primary processor and the high-speed memory modules.

  • Active Shroud Cooling: The fan doesn't just sit on a heatsink; it pulls air through the "sandwich" design of the card to ensure that the internal daughterboard (which handles the physical SDI/HDMI connections) remains cool.

  • 12V DC Operation: Powered directly via the PCIe bus, the fan speed is often dynamically managed based on the card’s internal thermal sensors.

Signs of a Failing Fan

On a high-end card like the 4K Extreme 12G, a failing fan can lead to immediate production downtime:

  • Digital Artifacts: Overheating often causes "tearing," green blocks, or "sparkle" artifacts in the 12G-SDI video stream.

  • Card Dropouts: The card may suddenly disappear from the Blackmagic Desktop Video Setup utility during a session as the FPGA enters a thermal protection shutdown.

  • Mechanical Noise: A buzzing or "dying" sound from your workstation's chassis is a clear indicator that the fan's bearings have reached the end of their life cycle.

Key Features

  • Genuine Blackmagic Part: Guaranteed to meet the specific static pressure requirements needed to push air through the card's dense dual-layer design.

  • Balanced for Low Vibration: Crucial for high-end workstations where mechanical vibration can interfere with sensitive internal components.

  • Direct Plug-and-Play: Features the correct micro-connector for the DeckLink’s PCB, requiring no wire splicing or modification.


Technical Installation Note

Replacing the fan on the 4K Extreme 12G is a more advanced task than on standard cards due to the dual-board construction:

  • Board Separation: In some versions of this card, you may need to carefully unscrew the daughterboard to access the fan's mounting points or power header. Handle the interconnecting pins with extreme care.

  • Precision Screws: Use a Phillips #00 precision screwdriver. These screws are very small and can easily be lost inside a computer case if you are not working on a clean, magnetic mat.

  • Heatsink Clearance: Ensure that no dust "pillows" have formed between the fan and the heatsink fins. If the heatsink is clogged, even a brand-new fan will fail to cool the card effectively.

  • ESD Protocol: This card contains highly sensitive 12G-SDI circuitry. Always use an anti-static wrist strap and work on a grounded surface to prevent permanent damage to the FPGA.

Do you currently have the card removed from the workstation, or are you diagnosing the noise while it's still powered on?

A very Comprehensive book
Format: Paperback
The book along with the workbook have been one of the best resources that I am using for my Medical Coding and billing career.

The pages fall apart easily. The book wasn’t bound properly at all.
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
I’ve just opened this book today. I like how the subject matters are explained and to the point. However, I bought this book new and it is already falling apart from the seams. Whatever they used to bind the pages together is of very poor quality; for that matter I gave it a rating of 3. Wish it was more durable. Now I’m afraid the leaves will all fall out very soon.

Game Changer!
Format: Paperback
When I was introduced to this series Abba Foundation, Factor and Formation I was desperately seeking the Lord to establish a real relationship and to obtain a real foundation of what the Christian walk was like. I tried in myself to change myself behaviorally thinking if I acted right I would look like a real Christian. Yet in my heart I didn’t have real love for people and I didn’t know the Father outside of what I wanted from Him. I was very broken. Moreover, I didn’t have the right thoughts about myself nor others. The Bible kept saying I was a new person but there was no real evidence of that in my life. So I was crying and crying, petitioning God for the answer when D’Blessing of AgapEKind Media Ministry was used of the Lord to help me and many others. The Lord began to develop me and through the word of God and this book I am finally experiencing transformation and renewal of my mind. My life has been reset and I have been reborn. And while it is a lifelong journey through ABBA’s love I now have a firm foundation. This course is foundational to most other things we learn in the church because it teaches you your identity and helps you build your relationship with Father. It tears down the barriers that hinders relationship like bad parents, childhood trauma, etc. If first things are first then this teaching is the first thing everyone should receive. It definitely comes before any kind of gifts training and discovery of purpose. The ironic thing is that all of the other things flow from the relationship with the Father. It is through that relationship that you discover purpose and who He has called you to be. No wondering ...no struggle... no searching. The Father is a revealer and wants to reveal Himself to you. I have since gifted this boom to many other people as the Lord has moved my heart and I believe so will you. You will want everyone to have the liberty and freedom that truly comes through Christ Jesus. Blessings and I love you all.
