Add the incredible
quality of HDMI to your computer. Intensity features the latest HDMI
technology for the highest quality capture and playback on Windows™ or
Mac OS X™ computers. Now you can edit using big-screen HDMI televisions
and video projectors, or capture uncompressed quality from HDV cameras.

True HDMI Digital Connections
Intensity
features HDMI-in for connecting to cameras and digital set-top boxes
for the highest quality capture. Get higher quality capture from HD
cameras by capturing direct and bypassing the HDV compression chip for
high quality video captured direct from the image sensor. As edit
software can't play back to HDV cameras for monitoring, Intensity is
ideal to use for monitoring uncompressed HD or HDV, and even DV edits
on the latest big screen televisions and video projectors by connecting
to the built-in HDMI out.
Go Beyond HDV Video Quality
HDV
video compression suffers from not being full 1920 HD resolution, and
the extra processing required makes editing difficult. With Intensity,
you can now capture and play back full resolution HDTV uncompressed
video for true broadcast and feature film quality editing. Totally
eliminate HDV & DV compression quality problems, and render much
cleaner graphics while retaining deeper color and image detail. If you
need lower data rate editing, you can also select from a range of
professional compressed video capture modes. Intensity includes the
same Blackmagic Design video technology used on Hollywood feature
films, so quality won’t limit your creativity.
Live Production with On-Air 2.0
Experience
the incredible excitement of filming events live. Included with
Intensity is Blackmagic On-Air 2.0, which allows two Intensity boards
to be plugged into Apple™ Mac Pro systems for live mixing between two
HD or SD cameras. On-Air includes everything you need for a live
production studio including camera monitoring, program monitoring,
graphic keying and recording to disk. Cameras auto sync, so you don't
even need expensive genlock featured cameras as any HDV camera with
HDMI-out will do. Full resolution live HD production is ideal for
weddings, education, corporate production and more. HD has never been
so affordable!
Windows™ and Mac OS X™ Compatible
Plug
into Windows™ or Mac OS X™ computers with the same card, and use your

playback ability to your computer. DirectShow and QuickTime™ allows
Intensity to work with a wide range of software for editing, design and
paint, through to the exciting video utility software that allows
custom desktop based video solutions. Blackmagic Media Express is also
included for easy capture and playback of real time HD and SD video. Dell Workstations and other systems with on board VGA are not certified for use with BlackMagic products and are currently unsupported.
