About Blackmagic Design Ultimatte 12

Take your broadcast graphics to the next level with the Ultimatte 12 HD Mini Advanced Real Time Compositing Processor. This state-of-the-art device is more than just a keyer; it's a revolutionary tool designed for the future of broadcast graphics. With its new algorithms and advanced color science, the Ultimatte 12 delivers photorealistic composites, superior edge handling, and exceptional color separation.

Experience unprecedented spill suppression, even in dark shadow areas or through transparent objects like windows. This makes the Ultimatte 12 perfect for presenting weather forecasts, sports updates, news broadcasts, and entertainment segments in a cinematic quality environment, all composited in real time.

The Ultimatte 12 is designed to eliminate the common problem of green screen variations in live multi-camera shoots. Its affordable price and advanced technology allow each camera to have a separate Ultimatte, which can be tuned to a specific camera's view. This means your compositions can go beyond traditional set design, enabling you to create entirely new worlds.

The Ultimatte 12 is also ideal for generating live virtual environments for broadcast. Whether you're working in broadcast news, sports, film production, or magazine-style entertainment programming, the Ultimatte 12 delivers lifelike composites that can place your talent into any scene.

The Ultimatte 12 HD Mini model comes with HDMI connections, making it compatible with consumer cameras. It also includes built-in frame stores, eliminating the need for live video sources for all inputs. This feature allows you to layer computer-generated augmented reality foreground objects into a scene, complete with realistic transparency that your talent can walk behind.

The Ultimatte 12 also excels in on-set pre-visualization in film production, allowing actors and directors to watch the scene as they're shooting. It also enables the creation of realistic fixed camera virtual sets, even in small spaces.

The Ultimatte 12's advanced image processing algorithms and large internal color space ensure identical quality compositions across all models. Its automatic scene analysis feature provides one-touch keying, setting over 100 parameters automatically for great keys without extra work.

The Ultimatte 12 also allows for the addition of translucent layers and broadcast graphics, and can faithfully reproduce and retain difficult colors. Its improved flare algorithms can remove green tinting and spill from anything, making it the perfect tool for creating realistic virtual environments.

With a wide range of video connections and Ethernet connectivity for software control, the Ultimatte 12 is a versatile tool for any broadcast setup. Its unique feature of converting SDI camera control to HDMI allows for control of HDMI connected Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Cameras from an ATEM SDI switcher.

In summary, the Ultimatte 12 HD Mini Advanced Real Time Compositing Processor is a game-changer in the world of broadcast graphics, offering unparalleled quality, versatility, and affordability.
