Capture and Playback: Multibridge connects to your computer via PCI Express and works just like a capture and playback card that plugs into your Mac or PC. All electronics are contained in a compact external chassis connected to your computer via an included PCI Express cable and plug in board |
|
Connect to Anything: All Multibridge models support SDI, HDMI and analog video input and output. Capture and playback from any SDI, HDMI or analog broadcast deck, camera or monitor |
|
More audio connections: No other editing system has such a wide range of audio connections and metering. Multibridge Eclipse supports a massive 12 channels of AES/EBU digital audio on balanced XLR connectors, as well as 4 channels of pro balanced analog audio on XLR connectors |
|
3 Gb/s SDI Connections: Multibridge Eclipse and Multibridge Pro are the first editing solutions to include high speed 3 Gb/s SDI connections. 3 Gb/s SDI is the latest version of the SDI video standard that allows 4:4:4 RGB and 2K film connection with a single BNC type connection |
|
The All-in-one Converter: When you disconnect the PCI Express cable from the host computer you have the ideal solution for converting analog equipment to SDI-based digital systems, as all Multibridge models will instantly switch into a bi-directional broadcast video and audio converter |
|
Built in HDMI: You'll love the full resolution HDMI input and output built into every Multibridge model. Use the HDMI output for connecting to any HDMI television or video projector for full HD resolution monitoring at much lower cost than a dedicated HD broadcast monitor |
|
World's Highest Quality: Fully compatible with SDI and HD-SDI 4:2:2, Multibridge Eclipse also features Dual Link HD-SDI 4:4:4 connections for feature film quality. Dual Link 4:4:4 is used on the latest Sony HDCAM SR decks |
|
Standard Definition, HDTV or 2K Film: All Multibridge models feature dual rate SDI and are completely format independent, so you can switch between high definition or standard definition instantly. Easily connect to 270 Mb/s standard definition SDI equipment such as Digital Betacam |
|
Compatible with all Video Software: Multibridge models include a high speed PCI Express connection so you can connect to a host computer and then use a wide range of video software for video capture and playback |
|
Down Conversion and Real Time Effects: Multibridge features massive processing power, that is fantastic for broadcast quality HD down conversion and other processing based features. Down conversion is great when it is plugged into Mac OS X & Windows platforms via the built-in PCI Express connection |
|
Connect to a Host Computer: Multibridge has many uses and one of the most exciting, is to connect the built-in PCI Express connection to a host computer for a perfect editing and design system. All outputs will play back video and you can capture video from any of the analog or digital inputs |
|
Connecting to a Traditional Analog World: Connecting to older analog decks such as a Betacam SP is easy using Multibridge. The bi-directional SDI to analog and analog to SDI connections, allows you to connect to and from the deck use bidirectional simultaneously |
|
Full Resolution HD Monitoring Solution: You'll love the full resolution HD monitoring that's included with Multibridge via the built in HDMI output connection. Connect any HDMI television or video projector for full HD resolution monitoring at much lower cost than a dedicated HD broadcast monitor |
|
Dual Rate Analog CRT Monitoring: One of the biggest monitoring problems in a modern facility is not being able to switch between standard definition and high definition quickly |
|
Non Linear Editing: Multibridge is the perfect companion for editing software such as Apple's Final Cut Pro on Mac OS X and Adobe Premiere Pro on Windows or Mac OS X. Blackmagic Design works closely to support all the special features in these software applications |
|
Design and Effects: High quality effects and design work has never been easier. Multibridge with PCI Express is fully compatible with the standard software tools for broadcast designers, such as After Effects, Fusion, Combustion and Photoshop |
|
Broadcast Paint and Graphics: Broadcast graphics work, demands absolute quality and seamless integration with software for speed. Adobe Photoshop has become the tool of choice for broadcast designers worldwide because of its industry standard interface and powerful tool set |
