QuickLink’s Studio Pro adds 4K switching, NDI, SDI, and ST 2110
This video provides an in-depth look at QuickLink's Studio Pro line of all-in-one 4K live production switchers, which includes NDI, SDI, and ST2110 models. It highlights features such as low-latency live switching, recording, streaming, graphics via NewBlue Captivate, and remote guest integration with Studio Edge that includes AI eye correction. The detailed overview covers different configurations, input capabilities, and control options for varied professional live streaming and broadcast workflows.
Key Takeaways
- Studio Pro models range from the NDI-only unit with four Ethernet ports to Studio Pro 3, Studio Pro 8, Studio Pro 16, and an ST 2110 version.
- Input counts run to 48 on the Studio Pro NDI and Studio Pro 3, and up to 64 video inputs on the Studio Pro 8, Studio Pro 16, and ST 2110 models.
- The Studio Pro NDI includes four 1 GbE PoE+ ports, while the Studio Pro 16 uses 12G-SDI and supports 4K 60p over SDI.
- Each system includes NewBlue Captivate graphics, Studio Edge remote guest tools, and 4 TB of internal SSD storage for ISO and program recording.
- The Studio Pro NDI is listed at $12,000, and a bundle with the Studio Pro Proton controller is priced at $16,789 with 1 year of Elite Annual Support.
Why It Matters
QuickLink is packaging switching, recording, graphics, and remote guest management into a single 4K production platform, which reduces the number of separate tools needed in live workflows. The product line spans NDI, 3G-SDI, 12G-SDI, and ST 2110, so it also maps cleanly onto different broadcast and IP production stacks. The included NewBlue Captivate license and Studio Edge remote guest tools matter because they ship with every model, not as add-ons. The next concrete marker to watch is which Studio Pro tier buyers choose as they move from 48-input NDI and 3G-SDI models to the 64-input 12G-SDI and ST 2110 systems.
