About this item

The Blackmagic Design Intensity Extreme is the world's first 10-bit HD/SD editing solution to feature lightning fast Thunderbolt technology. Simply plug in Intensity Extreme to get incredible quality HDMI, component video, s-video and composite 10-bit capture and playback for Thunderbolt based computers. The perfect solution for videographers, Intensity Extreme includes SD/HD capture and playback in compressed and uncompressed video quality. Better still, this revolutionary new device is compatible with Final Cut Pro 7, Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe After Effects, Nuke, DaVinci Resolve and more.

Key Features

  • True HDMI Digital Connections: It features HDMI-in for connecting to cameras and digital set-top boxes for the highest quality capture. Get higher quality capture from HD cameras by capturing direct and bypassing the HDV compression chip for high quality video captured direct from the image sensor
  • Highest Quality Analog Connections: The included break-out cable connects Intensity Pro to all types of analog video and audio equipment. This gives you full compatibility with analog component, NTSC, PAL, S-Video and analog audio
  • Uncompressed or Compressed Video: HDV and DV also use heavy compression. With HDV, the compression is time based which loads up the system CPU as the editing software reassembles the video just to display each frame in the video
  • Full Resolution: Intensity uses full resolution HDTV, which is a massive 1920 x 1080 pixels for every video frame. HDV only uses 1440 pixels wide due to the limitations of the small cassette tapes used and the FireWire speeds build into the cameras
  • DVD Authoring: DVDs from uncompressed media are much higher quality, and as all media files used on Intensity are QuickTime or AVI, you get full compatibility with DVD authoring software
  • Live Streaming: Always get a clean uncompressed video source for your streaming files. Uncompressed source video also means you don't waste CPU time de-compressing video on capture, so all the computer's CPU is free for compressing to streaming standards
