Blackmagic Design has released its Intensity Pro 4K, a new fast PCIe card which
allows capture and playback of extremely high quality SD, HD and Ultra HD video
on Windows, Mac and Linux PCI Express computers.
Grant Petty, CEO of Blackmagic Design said, “Intensity Pro 4K has all of the same great
features of the original Intensity Pro capture card but now includes Ultra HD and
1080p60 high frame rate support! That means consumers can now capture amazing
looking video with incredibly sharp images, vivid colour, and more clarity and detail
than ever before!’
This new Intensity Pro 4K includes all the features of the Intensity Pro model it
replaces and now adds deep colour support in HDMI, higher frame rate 1080p60
capture and playback and high resolution Ultra HD capture and playback up to
2160p30 via HDMI. The new model allows customers to connect to an even wider
range of video products and in higher quality.
Intensity Pro 4K is the only consumer video capture and playback card that’s built
using the same broadcast quality video components that professionals in the film
and television industry use. That means users will always get the highest quality
video capture possible. It features both HDMI and analogue YUV, composite and S-video connections so it is compatible with the latest Ultra HD televisions and game
consoles, as well as older equipment like VHS decks and DVD players.
Intensity Pro 4K is perfect for video editors that need a real-time preview on a big
screen TV. It also includes DaVinci Resolve Lite for Mac and Windows.
Users can capture NTSC, PAL, 720HD, 1080HD and Ultra HD, the newest broadcast
video standard. Regular 1080HD can be captured at up to 60 frames per second.
Video can be captured at full 10-bit quality and files can be saved in standard
formats such as ProRes (Mac) and more, or as fully uncompressed video, the
format used by professional television production studios. Files captured with
Intensity Pro 4K can also be used with other popular Mac and Windows applications
like Final Cut Pro X, Premiere Pro, Vegas Pro, Media Composer, Fusion, After
Effects, Flash and many more.
