Blackmagic Design Ultimatte 12 4K

The Blackmagic Design Ultimatte 12 4K is a real-time chroma keying and compositing processor built for broadcast news, sports, and virtual set production that needs photorealistic green-screen composites. Its 12G-SDI connections support everything from SD up to 2160p60 Ultra HD on a single BNC cable, and next-generation algorithms deliver improved edge handling, color separation, and spill suppression compared to previous Ultimatte models. Built-in frame stores let productions load pre-rendered virtual set backgrounds without needing a live video source for every input, making full broadcast-quality virtual sets possible even in small studio spaces.

• 12G-SDI Connectivity: Compatible with SD, HD, 3G, 6G, and 12G-SDI equipment, supporting all formats up to 2160p60.
• Built-In Frame Stores: Loads pre-rendered virtual set backgrounds without requiring a live video source on every input.
• Layer Compositing Mode: Adds realistic tinted or translucent objects, like colored glass, over the composited foreground.
• Advanced Spill and Edge Handling: New algorithms preserve difficult colors, like bright yellow against green screen, with clean edge detail.
• Monitor Cascade: Daisy-chains up to eight Ultimatte units to a single SDI display for simplified multi-camera monitoring.
• Free Ultimatte Software Control: Manages settings and frame store uploads from Mac or Windows.
