Blackmagic Design Ultimatte 12 Overview Upgrade your real-time compositing for keying live action video with the Ultimatte 12 8K Keyer/Advanced Compositing Processor from Blackmagic Design. This latest version of the Ultimatte 12 adds 12G-SDI connectivity to advanced algorithms, improved spill suppression, color science and separation, and excellent color fidelity to help create truly photorealistic composites. The Ultimatte 12 works in 8K, UHD, and 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. 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. The 2 RU unit features dual redundant power and it features a 10GB Ethernet port. Advanced Real-Time Compositing Uses new algorithms and color science, improved edge handling, color separation, color fidelity, and spill suppression to create photorealistic composites in 8K, UHD 4K and HD, all in real time. Applications Designed for news, sports, narrative film and television, and entertainment productions using fixed cameras, static backgrounds, or virtual set systems. The ability to layer augmented reality objects enables talent to pre-visualize virtual sets when using a green screen. Multicamera Use New technology enables the Ultimatte 12 to add accurate keying parameters to multiple cameras, accounting for slight variations between the camera positions Realistic Augmented Reality Layer A new "realistic" layer compositing mode enables you to add translucent or tinted objects on top of the foreground. One-Touch Keying 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 color space are used to generate internal mattes, so different parts of the image can be processed separately based on the colors in each area. This processing produces fine detail on hair and smooths color and object transitions with 8K, UHD 4K, and HD video. Highest Color Fidelity Refined flare, edge, and transition processing enables you to remove the background without affecting the colors you want to retain, faithfully reproducing colors that are impossible on other keyers, such as a bright yellow dress in front of a green screen. Shadows and Transparencies 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 Interfaces High-quality connections include an Ethernet port, a GPI tally trigger, 12G-SDI BNC ports that support up to 8K video, and Program video outputs. Dedicated Compositing Inputs Dedicated connectors with loop outputs that are used for compositing include: Inputs: Background Background matte Garbage matte Foreground Holdout matte Layer Layer matte Output: Program out
