Blackmagic Design

Blackmagic Design has introduced the new UltraStudioMini 12G product line! These are compact solutions for video recording and playback designed for computers with a Thunderbolt interface. Each of the three models is designed for professional broadcasting at exceptionally high quality. All three new products are currently in stock!

The UltraStudio Mini Recorder 12G allows you to record signals from 12G-SDI and HDMI interfaces in SD, HD, and Ultra HD resolutions. It’s ideal for live streaming using software such as Open Broadcaster. It can also be used to archive older recordings from professional broadcast decks into your favorite editing software or into the free bundled Media Express software. Recording from game consoles is also supported.

The UltraStudio Mini Monitor 12G enables playback via 12G-SDI and HDMI in SD, HD, and Ultra HD resolutions. It is the ideal solution for monitoring playback from your favorite editing software. The two 12G-SDI outputs support fill and key signals for broadcast graphics and automatically convert the graphics’ alpha channel to the key output.

The UltraStudio Mini Replay 12G uses 12G-SDI exclusively and enables simultaneous recording and playback. This makes it ideal for using computers as real-time AI processing devices or for live replay of footage using DaVinci Resolve. By connecting the input to the multiview output of a video switcher, you can use instant replays with automatic editing transitions (stingers) via the fill and key outputs.

🚨 We now offer the groundbreaking URSA Cine 12K film camera from Blackmagic Design!

Blackmagic URSA Cine 12K is a revolutionary digital film camera that brings advanced technology with full integration into post-production workflows. It features a new 36 x 24 mm large format RGBW sensor with larger photosensors for 16 EV dynamic range, interchangeable PL, LPL, and EF lens mounts, and standard Lemo and Fischer connectors. Blackmagic URSA Cine 12K comes with 8 TB of high-performance storage and also includes a high-speed network for media recording and synchronization with Blackmagic Cloud.

Blackmagic Design today released Blackmagic Video Assist 3.21, an update that adds support for recording to Blackmagic RAW format from the Panasonic Lumix S1RII camera on Video Assist 5" and 7" 12G HDR devices. When recording in Blackmagic RAW format using Video Assist 12G HDR, camera settings can now also be saved to metadata. This means that white balance and exposure are encoded directly into the file and can be loaded in DaVinci Resolve. However, these settings can be manually adjusted later in the RAW settings panel during color correction.

The Blackmagic Video Assist 3.21 update is now available as a free download here.
