Blackmagic Design Ultimatte 12 HD Blackmagic Design

Podrobný popis

Blackmagic Ultimatte 12 HD is an affordable keyer with full Ultimatte 12 processing and 3G-SDI connections for HD production. It offers next generation edge handling, amazing color separation and better spill suppression, a 6 GB Media Pool frame store for virtual sets, garbage and holdout matte inputs, reference and GPIO. It is controlled with free software or the Smart Remote 4 panel.

Full Ultimatte 12 in an HD model

The world's most advanced chroma keyer in an HD model: full Ultimatte 12 processing, 3G-SDI connections and a half rack width chassis.

HD keyer with SDI connections

Ultimatte 12 HD brings full Ultimatte 12 processing to an affordable HD model with 3G-SDI connections: camera foreground, background, garbage matte and holdout matte inputs, program, fill and matte outputs and a camera loop output. The chassis is half rack width and 1 rack unit high.

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 an AC power input, Ethernet, GPIO, reference in and out, SDI inputs for background, camera foreground, garbage and holdout matte, program, fill and matte outputs, a camera loop output and monitor in and out; the front has USB, preset and menu buttons, a 2.2″ LCD and a spin knob.
