Compact Thunderbolt 4 playback interface, dual 12G‑SDI outputs for professional monitoring up to 2160p 60, 10‑bit video, advanced fill & key workflows, full compatibility with major editing, graphics and live production software
UltraStudio Mini Monitor 12G è un’interfaccia di riproduzione video che riceve dal computer un flusso video digitale tramite connessione Thunderbolt 4 e lo converte in uscita SDI , permettendo di inviare il segnale verso monitor broadcast, switcher, matrici video, sistemi di produzione live o dispositivi di grafica esterna. In pratica, trasforma il computer in una sorgente video affidabile e a bassa latenza, perfettamente integrabile in workflow professionali SD, HD e Ultra HD fino a 2160p 60.
Compatta e alimentata direttamente dal computer, è pensata per editor, colorist, grafici broadcast e operatori che necessitano di un’uscita video affidabile e a bassa latenza verso monitor professionali, switcher o sistemi di produzione live.
Grazie alla connessione Thunderbolt 4, il dispositivo garantisce una banda sufficiente per gestire segnali 10‑bit, formati avanzati come 4:2:2:4 e 4:4:4:4, e la conversione in tempo reale dei contenuti con canale alpha verso le uscite 12G‑SDI. Le due uscite SDI possono essere configurate come fill & key, convertendo automaticamente l’alpha channel in un segnale di key, trasformando un laptop in una sorgente grafica broadcast per titolazioni, overlay e grafica in tempo reale.
UltraStudio Mini Monitor 12G utilizza la stessa API DeckLink e i driver Desktop Video delle schede Blackmagic, garantendo compatibilità con praticamente tutti i software professionali: DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, Media Composer, Premiere Pro, After Effects, Fusion, OBS, e molte altre applicazioni di editing, grafica e live streaming.
Il supporto ai formati include SD (525i 59.94, 625i 50), HD fino a 1080p 60, e Ultra HD fino a 2160p 60, con gestione dei segnali Level A/B per 3G‑SDI. Il dispositivo è compatibile con codec professionali come ProRes, DNxHD e 10‑bit non compresso, e viene fornito con Blackmagic Media Express per playback e test delle prestazioni del disco.
