Blackmagic Ultimatte 12 HD Mini

Blackmagic Ultimatte 12 HD Mini features HDMI connections so you can use the advanced keyer with consumer cameras. You also get full Ultimatte 12 processing and frame stores to create virtual sets at no additional cost.

Blackmagic’s Ultimatte 12 HD Mini is a unique model with special features that allow the conversion of SDI camera control to HDMI. Which means an ATEM SDI switcher can control a HDMI connected Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera.

Create Realistic Fixed Camera Virtual Sets

Now you can create a massive broadcast set, even in small apartments or a basement. That’s because all Ultimatte 12 models have frame stores so you can load pre rendered still frames from a 3D modeled broadcast set.

This is a revolution in live production because you can now use a virtual set even if you don’t have the space for a physical broadcast set. Plus without any external equipment! Just use multiple cameras, each with an Ultimatte 12 and a background frame loaded.

As the backgrounds are pre rendered, they can be more photorealistic than a traditional virtual set. If the cameras don’t move, the backgrounds will look perfect! Plus Ultimatte 12 is low cost, so you can use more cameras.

New Algorithms and Expanded Color Space!

All Ultimatte 12 models, even Ultimatte 12 HD Mini, have the same incredibly advanced image processing algorithms and a huge internal color space. This means all models produce identical quality compositions! The processing automatically generates internal mattes so different parts of the image are processed separately based on the colors in each area. It’s like having the power of multiple Ultimatte keyers all working together on the same image.

You get fine edge detail where it’s needed the most, like on hair, and smoother transitions between colors or other objects in the scene. Everything is handled by new math and sub pixel processing that’s designed for incredible quality and clarity.

Automatic Scene Analysis for One Touch Keying

When it comes to live production, you need to work fast. Ultimatte 12 features one touch keying technology that analyzes a scene and automatically sets over a 100 parameters so you get great keys without having to do a lot of extra work.

The first step is to ensure your scene is well lit and that the cameras are properly white balanced, then you simply activate the auto key and Ultimatte will do all the work for you. Plus all models include Screen Correction to compensate for unevenly lit green/blue screens. One touch keying is dramatically faster and helps you accurately pull a key with minimum effort.

That leaves you free to focus on the program, while Ultimatte 12 takes care of the rest!
