Blackmagic UltraStudio 4K Extreme

Capture and output of nearly any currently supported broadcast or consumer video format up to DCI 4K resolution is possible with the UltraStudio 4K Extreme from Blackmagic Design. This I/O device features 12G-SDI input and output, 6G-SDI input and output, HDMI 2.0 input and output, analog audio input, and digital audio input and output. It is ideal for busy production environments where it is hard to know in advance what signal might be required. The device pairs with third-party software, including editing software, media server software, and even graphics editing software, notably Photoshop. It is compatible with Windows and OS X computers with Thunderbolt connectivity. There is also a PCIe host connector for using a PCIe host card (available separately).

The UltraStudio 4K Extreme features a 2RU rackmountable form factor with the primary connectivity on the back panel. For local monitoring at the device, there is an LCD preview screen and basic controls on the front panel.
