Blackmagic Design Ultimatte 12 8K Advanced Real Time Compositing Processor

Before you embark on your next broadcast or film production, consider the unparalleled capabilities of the Ultimatte 12 8K Advanced Real Time Compositing Processor. This state-of-the-art device is not just the world's leading keyer; it's a sophisticated real-time compositing processor engineered for the cutting-edge demands of next-generation broadcast graphics.

The Ultimatte 12 boasts revolutionary new algorithms and refined color science that consistently deliver photorealistic composites. Experience exceptional edge handling, enhanced color separation, superior color fidelity, and unprecedented spill suppression, even in challenging conditions such as dark shadows or when dealing with transparent objects like windows.

Available in four impressive models, the Ultimatte 12 supports HD, Ultra HD, and native 8K, ensuring your content is future-proof and ready for the highest resolutions. Envision presenting weather forecasts, sports events, news, or entertainment segments against a cinematic-quality environment - all composited in real-time for a seamless viewer experience.

For productions utilizing multiple cameras, each with varying angles, the Ultimatte 12 is a game-changer. Traditional green screens often suffer from inconsistencies, and built-in keyers in live production switchers can complicate the keying process. The Ultimatte 12 resolves these issues by allowing each camera to have its dedicated processor, fine-tuned to that specific camera's perspective. This customization enables you to push the boundaries of set design and create immersive new worlds that captivate your audience.

The Ultimatte 12 is also an invaluable tool for generating live virtual environments for broadcast. Whether you're working in news, sports, film production, or entertainment programming, the Ultimatte 12 delivers life-like composites that seamlessly integrate your talent into any scene. Built-in frame stores eliminate the need for live video sources for all inputs, and the processor can layer computer-generated augmented reality objects with realistic transparency.

On-set previsualization in film production is another area where the Ultimatte 12 shines, allowing actors and directors to interact with the scene in real-time. For fixed camera virtual sets, the Ultimatte 12's frame stores enable the use of pre-rendered still frames from 3D modeled sets, creating expansive broadcast environments even in confined spaces - without the need for external equipment.

The Ultimatte 12 8K model is the pinnacle of chroma keying technology, featuring Quad Link 12G-SDI for HD, Ultra HD, and 8K. Its automatic scene analysis simplifies live production with one-touch keying that intelligently sets over 100 parameters, ensuring optimal keys with minimal manual intervention.

Adding translucent layers and broadcast graphics is effortless with Ultimatte 12's innovative layer compositing mode. This feature allows for the inclusion of tinted objects atop the foreground image, preserving the original colors and enhancing the realism of the composite.

The Ultimatte 12's advanced processing capabilities enable you to key and composite images with shadows and transparency, handling difficult colors with precision. Its wide range of video connections accommodates various input sources, and the dual redundant power supplies ensure reliability during critical on-air use.

Connectivity options include USB-C for firmware updates, Ethernet for control via included software, GPI triggers for preset activation, and a multitude of inputs and outputs for comprehensive video source management.

With future-proof models boasting advanced 12G-SDI connections, the Ultimatte 12 8K is ready for today's HD formats and tomorrow's Ultra HD and 8K content. This versatility ensures that the Ultimatte 12 is not only an investment in your current production needs but also in the evolution of your creative capabilities.
