Blackmagic Design announced UltraStudio Mini Monitor and UltraStudio Mini Recorder,
two new capture and playback solutions featuring 3 Gb/s SDI and HDMI connections
plus high speed Thunderbolt technology, at the recent IBC in Amsterdam.
UltraStudio Mini Monitor and UltraStudio Mini Recorder are extremely portable, pocket-
sized products powered by their Thunderbolt connections so they can be operated

SD / HD formats for incredible quality video up to 1080p60.

the UltraStudio Mini Monitor would be the perfect choice. A customer who only needs
simple recording for capturing files from professional video sources can choose the
UltraStudio Mini Recorder for great quality, at the lowest possible price.
UltraStudio Mini Monitor and UltraStudio Mini Recorder feature advanced high quality

With easy plug and play and incredibly fast transfer speeds of Thunderbolt
technology, UltraStudio Mini Monitor and UltraStudio Mini Recorder can be moved
easily between computers and can capture from decks, cameras and live video
sources, and output to monitors, projectors, media servers and more.
