Podrobný popis

Blackmagic Ultimatte 12 8K is an advanced keyer and compositing processor with Quad Link 12G-SDI for HD, Ultra HD and 8K up to 4320p60. It has a 5″ color display, a 6 GB Media Pool frame store, 10G Ethernet for control and still upload, dual built-in power supplies in a 2 RU chassis and full Ultimatte 12 processing for next generation broadcast and film production. It is controlled with free software or the Smart Remote 4 panel.

Quad Link 12G-SDI up to 8K

Ultimatte 12 8K future proofs virtual sets and broadcast graphics: it works in HD and Ultra HD today and moves to 8K whenever you are ready.

Quad Link 12G-SDI for HD, Ultra HD and 8K

Ultimatte 12 8K features Quad Link 12G-SDI for all video formats up to 4320p60, so it works with HD and Ultra HD today and switches to 8K without changing equipment. Every compositing input and output has four 12G-SDI connectors, and the background, foreground and layer inputs have loop outputs.

Large display and redundant power

The 5″ color display on the front shows the device name, video preview, audio meters and menus. The 2 RU chassis has dual built-in power supplies for on air reliability and 10G Ethernet for control and loading stills into the Media Pool.

Advanced algorithms and a huge color space

All Ultimatte 12 models, even Ultimatte 12 HD Mini, have the same advanced algorithms and a huge internal color space, so they all produce identical quality compositions. The processing automatically generates internal mattes and processes different parts of the image separately based on the colors in each area: fine edge detail where it is needed most, like on hair, and smoother transitions between colors.

One touch automatic keying

Ultimatte 12 analyzes the scene and automatically sets over 100 parameters. Just make sure the scene is well lit and the cameras are white balanced, then activate the auto key. Screen Correction also compensates for unevenly lit green or blue screens.

Fixed camera virtual sets

All models have a 6 GB Media Pool frame store for pre rendered still frames of a 3D modeled set. That means a virtual set even in a small room and without external equipment – each camera gets its own Ultimatte 12 with a background loaded. If the cameras don't move, the backgrounds look perfect.

Translucent layers, shadows and reflections

The layer compositing mode adds tinted objects such as colored glass or graphics on top of the foreground and preserves their colors even when the talent walks behind them. Improved algorithms remove green tinting and spill, map shadows correctly onto the new background and handle transparent objects with reflections.

Faithful colors even with difficult shades

New flare, edge and transition processing removes the background without affecting the colors you want to keep – such as a bright yellow dress in front of a green screen. Ultimatte 12 treats different parts of the image separately while keeping color transitions smooth.

Control via software or the Smart Remote 4 panel

All models include the free Ultimatte Software Control for Mac and Windows, which also uploads still frames to the frame store; settings are kept in flash memory when the power is off. The optional Ultimatte Smart Remote 4 controls up to eight Ultimatte 12 units over Ethernet, and thanks to the monitor cascade you can view them all on a single SDI monitor without a video router.

Connections

The rear has dual AC power inputs, reference in and out, GPIO, USB, Ethernet, Quad Link 12G-SDI inputs for background, background matte, garbage matte, foreground, holdout matte, layer and layer matte with loop outputs, program, fill, matte and talent outputs and monitor in and out; the front has a 5″ LCD, a spin knob and menu buttons.
