Blackmagic Design Ultimatte 12 HD Keyer/Advanced Compositing Processor

The Blackmagic Design Ultimatte 12 HD Keyer/Advanced Compositing Processor is more than the world’s best keyer, it’s an advanced real-time compositing processor designed for the next generation of broadcast graphics. Blackmagic Design Ultimatte 12 HD  features entirely new algorithms and color science that deliver true photorealistic composites. You get incredible edge handling, greater color separation, amazing color fidelity and better spill suppression than ever before, even in dark shadow areas or through transparent objects such as windows! Blackmagic Design Keyer/Advanced Compositing Processor is available in 4 amazing models, with HD, Ultra HD and even native 8K support! Imagine presenting the weather, sports, news and entertainment in a cinematic quality environment, all composited in real time.

Advanced Real-Time Compositing

Uses new algorithms and color science, improved edge handling, color separation, color fidelity, and spill suppression to create photorealistic composites in 8K, UHD 4K and HD, all in real time.

Applications

Designed for news, sports, narrative film and television, and entertainment productions using fixed cameras, static backgrounds, or virtual set systems. The ability to layer augmented reality objects enables talent to pre-visualize virtual sets when using a green screen.

Multicamera Use

New technology enables the Ultimatte 12 to add accurate keying parameters to multiple cameras, accounting for slight variations between the camera positions

Realistic Augmented Reality Layer

A new "realistic" layer compositing mode enables you to add translucent or tinted objects on top of the foreground.

One-Touch Keying

One-touch keying dramatically lessens the time it takes to pull a key, using the auto key to set over 100 parameters once your set is well lit and white balanced.

Advanced Image Processing

Advanced image processing algorithms and an immense color space are used to generate internal mattes, so different parts of the image can be processed separately based on the colors in each area. This processing produces fine detail on hair and smooths color and object transitions with 8K, UHD 4K, and HD video.

Highest Color Fidelity

Refined flare, edge, and transition processing enables you to remove the background without affecting the colors you want to retain, faithfully reproducing colors that are impossible on other keyers, such as a bright yellow dress in front of a green screen.

Shadows and Transparencies

Improved flare algorithms can remove green tinting and spill from almost anything, creating true, realistic looking virtual environments, even when using shadows or transparent objects with reflections.

High-Quality Interfaces

High-quality connections include an Ethernet port, a GPI tally trigger, 12G-SDI BNC ports that support up to 8K video, and Program video outputs.
