Blackmagic Ultimatte 12 HD Mini

Blackmagic Design Ultimatte 12 HD Mini Keyer/Advanced Compositing Processor

The Ultimatte 12 HD works in HD with sub-pixel processing for an improved image. Designed for news, sports, and other types of production, this versatile unit offers realistic augmented reality layers and one-touch auto-keying. The HD Mini model supports up to 1080p50/60 resolutions and supports a variety of media formats. This processor requires the downloadable Ultimatte Software for macOS and Windows, and it can also be controlled via the separately available Ultimatte Smart Remote 4. 

Realistic Augmented Reality Layer

Uses new algorithms and colour science, improved edge handling, colour separation, colour fidelity, and spill suppression to create photorealistic composites in HD, all in real time. New technology enables the Ultimatte 12 to add accurate keying parameters to multiple cameras, accounting for slight variations between the camera positions. Furthermore, a new "realistic" layer compositing mode enables you to add translucent or tinted objects on top of the foreground.

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 colour space are used to generate internal mattes, so different parts of the image can be processed separately based on the colours in each area. This processing produces fine detail on hair and smooths colour and object transitions.

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

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 connections include an Ethernet port and HDMI ports that support up to 1080p60 video, and Program video outputs.
