I am looking for confirmation that a Black Magic DeckLink 8K Pro G2 will input HDMI into vMix as an independent stream while also inputting 4 separate 3G-SDI (at least) inputs. I cannot find any documentation on the devices capabilities when using all connections. BM's specs say it can be configured with 4 video streams in any direction which seems like a nail in the coffin for having a 5th stream on the HDMI input, but it seems like specifically adding a mezz card to the G2 edition with HDMI input and output would imply those ports work in addition to the 4 SDI ports? It could also just be an addition to give options for HDMI instead of SDI. Anyone have any hands on experience with this card?

My current configuration has a DeckLink Duo 2 card for 4 SDI cameras input, a DeckLink Mini Recorder 4K for 1 HDMI input, and a DeckLink Mini Monitor HD for 1 SDI Output. I'm building a new computer and wanted to conserve PCI-E slots if possible and thought the DeckLink 8K Pro G2 might replace the DeckLink Duo 2 and the DeckLink Mini Recorder 4K. I would still need the DeckLink Mini Monitor HD for SDI Output if that worked.

I would appreciate any hands on insight.
