@ HWL

Specs look decent, I'm not as familiar with ASRock but the reviews look good, personally, I would prefer a beefier Power supply and a case with handles.
Also, re-check the specs on the Decklink Duo, it's 2 In and 2 Out AFAIK, not 4 In.

They've done with the Duo what they did with the Quad - the v2 cards have four or eight channels which can either be all inputs, all outputs or any combination.

The documentation on the new Decklink Duo is still ambiguous, but given that the Quad 2 is now 8 in/out, it wouldn't surprise me that they did the same for the Duo.
