Are you a gamer who wants to record high quality UHD video of their game as they’re playing it?  Or, are you someone who has archive footage on older analog formats?

The new Intensity Pro 4K is the only consumer video capture and playback card that’s built using the same broadcast quality video components that professionals in the film and television industry use. Meaning customers will always get the highest quality video capture possible. It features both HDMI and analog YUV, composite and S-video connections so it is compatible with the latest Ultra HD televisions and game consoles, as well as older equipment like VHS decks and DVD players.

The Intensity Pro 4K is perfect for hardcore gamers creating high frame rate walk throughs of their latest gameplay, customers delivering live streaming presentations, parents trying to save family videos from old VHS tapes, and video editors that need a realtime preview on a big screen TV.

Customers can capture NTSC, PAL, 720HD, 1080HD and Ultra HD. Regular 1080HD can be captured at up to 60 frames per second. That means gamers can connect their consoles over HDMI and then capture every heart pounding moment of gameplay to create the most amazing, high frame rate walk through videos for posting online.

The Intensity Pro 4K also includes DaVinci Resolve Lite for Mac and Windows, giving a complete video capture and post production solution in one box. That means customers get the same multi track video editing and advanced color correction system that professional editors and colorists use to make Hollywood’s biggest blockbuster films, television shows and commercials.

Video can be captured at full 10-bit quality and files can be saved in standard formats such as ProRes (Mac) and more, or as fully uncompressed video, the format used by professional television production studios. Files captured with Intensity Pro 4K can also be used with other popular Mac and Windows applications like Final Cut Pro X, Premiere Pro, Vegas Pro, Media Composer, Fusion, After Effects, Flash and many more.
