Overview

Overview

The Blackmagic Design UltraStudio Express allows you to connect to virtually any video device, including cameras, monitors and broadcast decks for frame accurate editing and recording. Features integrated 3G-SDI and HDMI connections, and includes consumer RCA and professional BNC/XLR breakout cables for analog component/S-video and composite, analog audio, genlock, AES/EBU audio, RS- 422 deck control and more. The UltraStudio Express is powered via the Thunderbolt connection, which makes it extremely portable.

UltraStudio supports popular compressed video formats such as ProRes and DNxHD as well as 10-bit uncompressed video, so you’re not locked into a single file format. When working with uncompressed video all captured images are a perfect pixel-for-pixel clone of the source without any quality loss, so you have the confidence you’re working at the absolute highest quality possible. Get the sharpest keying with green screens, cleanest compositions, superior color correction and more.

UltraStudio is compatible with all your favorite video software, such as DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, Avid Media Composer, and Adobe Creative Suite. UltraStudio is QuickTime and WDM based and works with any Mac OS X or Windows video software.
