Video technology manufacturer Blackmagic Design has acquired the assets of Cintel International, one of the world’s leading researchers, designers and manufacturers of motion picture film scanners. Through this acquisition, following the liquidation of Cintel International earlier in 2012, Blackmagic Design has acquired the intellectual property (IP) and all aspects of Cintel’s entire portfolio of film scanning products.

This includes all of the IP, name and brand ownership and product development rights for the Cintel diTTo and dataMill digital scanners lines, URSA, C-Reality, DSX, and Millennium telecine lines as well as imageMill data management products.

“This is a very exciting acquisition for Blackmagic Design. Cintel products are the most trusted names in the film scanning business, and the incredible design expertise that has been built into every one of the Cintel products is amazing,’ said Grant Petty, CEO, Blackmagic Design.

“The film market is in the middle of massive changes and how film is used is changing every day. What hasn’t changed is the acknowledgement that film is an extremely creative way to capture images. This acquisition gives Blackmagic Design the ability to combine our vision and expertise with Cintel technology to provide the best technology for artists using film, more efficient and affordable ways to bring film into a digital workflow and better ways to archive and restore existing archive film worldwide,’ continued Petty.

Service and support for existing Cintel customers will be handled by UK based Cine Solutions Ltd. and US based Cine Solutions Inc. Both are independent of Blackmagic Design and will supply replacement parts and repairs, provide expert engineering services as well as 24/7 maintenance help line to all users of equipment previously manufactured and supplied by Cintel International.

Desktop Video 9.0 is Blackmagic Design’s major new software update with advanced capture and playback for the Avid Media Composer 6 family of software, including Avid Symphony and Avid NewsCutter, for both Windows 7 and Mac OS X.

Desktop Video 9.0 is available for download now and free of charge for all Blackmagic Design customers. This update includes support for all current DeckLink, Multibridge, Intensity and UltraStudio models.

Avid Media Composer has long been respected by the broadcast and film industry. For the first time, Avid customers can use Blackmagic Design’s latest Thunderbolt, USB 3.0 and PCI Express video capture and playback devices.

Professionals demand frame accuracy and flexible workflows. The combination of Blackmagic Design hardware and the flexibility of Avid Media Composer lets you work with virtually any media format including Uncompressed 10 bit YUV and RGB, Avid DNxHD, Panasonic DVCPRO HD, Sony XDCAM and more.

Blackmagic Design’s UltraStudio 3D and DeckLink HD Extreme 3D take full advantage of new advanced 3D editing support in Media Composer 6, saving time and creating a much more fluid editing experience for 3D projects.

“We have been waiting to do this for years!’ said Grant Petty, CEO of Blackmagic Design. “To have full integration with Avid Media Composer 6 with our capture and playback devices, plus AAF round trip with DaVinci Resolve, are truly defining moments for all our creative customers and for the film and television industry, this changes everything.’

“With support for Blackmagic hardware or Avid accelerated and natively integrated DX systems, customers now have more choice than ever when working with Media Composer, Symphony and NewsCutter,’ said Angus Mackay, segment marketing manager at Avid. “Blackmagic’s support of DNxHD and AAF makes for easy project transfer and pipeline design, smoothing workflows and boosting productivity for our mutual customers, who can leverage existing hardware investments and easily add Avid editing systems into current workflow configurations. We’re thrilled to satisfy users with these advancements in openness, productivity and collaboration.’

Key features of Desktop Video are: certified by Avid for Avid Media Composer 6, Avid Symphony, Avid NewsCutter; uncompressed and DNxHD capture and playback in Avid Media Composer 6; realtime effects in Avid Media Composer 6; and advanced dual stream 3D workflow capturing left and right eye to separate files in Avid Media Composer 6.

Weaving that old Blackmagic.

“We’re making 11 new product announcements at this IBC, double the number of last year’s event,’ said Blackmagic Design’s Stuart Ashton.

“Our customers are collectors of Blackmagic products rather than users and they’re very excited about Intensity Extreme, the first Thunderbolt technology based device to combine the high quality of HDMI capture and playback with the wide compatibility of analogue component, NTSC, PAL and S-Video and analog audio capture. It is playback in a compact size that’s completely powered from the Thunderbolt connection on the computer. It’s the perfect solution for adding video to laptop computers as it powers from the laptop battery. Blackmagic was the first company outside Apple to produce a Thunderbolt product.’

Very popular at IBC were their range of super heavy duty mini converters. “These feature a unique design that’s machined from a solid block of aluminum for amazing strength, as well as for protecting connectors. They include innovative features and technologies such as 3Gb/s SDI. There are four models in the range,’ explained Ashton.

The ATEM Studio Converter is a new rack mount quads independent bi- directional optical fibre SDI converter with built in talkback. It is perfect for live production as it includes four independent optical fibre converters in one rack unit sized chassis. Broadcast and post-production users can install ATEM Studio Converter as a regular optical fibre SDI converter, and each of the four optical fibre converters are totally independent of each other and bi-directional.

Other new product announcements included SmartView HD; a new full resolution HD rack monitor with a large 17 inch LCD screen; and a 3Gb/s SDI video input and centralised network based control that allows easy colour matching when used in multi monitor installations.
