A nice alternative to the Blackmagic Decklink Micro, which requires HDMI to HD-SDI adapters (though it'll still likely work out cheaper even with the adapters unless you populate all 3 inputs). If you only need a single input, the Desklink Micro Recorder has a single HDMI input for around half the price (and half the m.2 card length).

The product is okay, but please don’t perpetuate the use of meaningless buzz terms like “2k” when describing capabilities, performance, or any other metric. It’s not an actual standard and often used when a product doesn’t fully support higher standard resolutions/refresh rates so they make up some crazy abomination and call it 2k.

Technically, "2K" is a standard (as is "4K"): both are DCI standards. The problem is that DCI 2K is 2048 x 1080, which is not what 2K is being used to refer to here - likewise, DCI 4k is 4096 x 2160, not the 3840 x 2160 it is commonly used to refer to (which is actually a different standard: UHD).
Which makes discussing DCI files endlessly annoying, as you need to keep specifying "no, I don't mean 2K , I mean actual 2K!".
