Blackmagic Design today announced that DeckLink, UltraStudio and Intensity desktop video products will support the release of Avid® Media Composer® 7.

 

Avid Media Composer 7 features accelerated and simplified file based workflows including new background processing and automation tools which enable editors to ingest 2K and 4K media and deliver content directly to HD without needing to transcode and resize.

The rack mount UltraStudio 4K and the DeckLink 4K Extreme PCIe card will provide customers the flexibility to work with virtually any media format in Media Composer 7 depending on their workflow needs.

Including both PCIe and Thunderbolt based technology, these products come in both internal and external models and are used by professionals globally in every aspect of film and video production.
