Blackmagic Design UltraStudio Monitor 3G

The perfect solution for edit monitoring on large screen TV's, projectors or broadcast monitors! UltraStudio Monitor for SDI and HDMI includes 3G-SDI and HDMI in all formats up to 1080p60.

The UltraStudio Monitor 3G and UltraStudio Recorder 3G models are - thanks to their extremely small size - the ideal solution for previewing and recording video on the go. Their lower price makes them affordable for all users who do not require both preview and video recording functions integrated in a single device. The UltraStudio Monitor 3G version will be a great addition for previewing video during editing; the UltraStudio Recorder 3G version is an easy-to-use solution for recording SD/HD video from devices with 3G-SDI or HDMI output, in both compressed and uncompressed 10-bit quality.

The new variants replace the original Thunderbolt 2 models and, thanks to the integration of Thunderbolt 3 technology, offer an expanded range of features including support for multiple video formats, a wider choice of color spaces, RGB video formats, etc. With their very easy plug-and-play installation and high transfer speeds, they are an indispensable addition to all workplaces for video editing and post-production, animation, and TV and film production...
