All the connectivity you need
The UltraStudio 4K Mini can connect to virtually any video device. This model includes SDI in and out, an HDMI out so that you can monitor on TV’s, monitors and projectors as well as analogue YUV/NTSC/PAL video and balanced analogue input for archiving from legacy analogue broadcast-type decks and the dual SDI outputs can switch to fill and key.
The 4K Mini includes video reference for sync broadcast to broadcast systems, RS-422 remote and an extra HDMI input and balanced audio out so that you can connect to in-studio audio monitoring.
Amazing quality in compressed or uncompressed
The 4K Mini can support both compressed video formats, like Apple ProRes and DNxHD as well as uncompressed 10-bit video so that you can use whichever file format suits your needs. Uncompressed video captures images as a pixel-for-pixel replica of the source with zero quality loss to give you the highest quality possible to give you the sharpest keying when using green screens, clean compositions, superior colour correction and much more.
12G-SDI Speeds
The UltraStudio 4K Mini supports both capture and playback of UHD and 4K 60p thanks to its 12G-SDI speeds over a single BNC cable and the multi-rate connections allows you to connect to all of your existing equipment.
You can connect to all of your SD and HD equipment and the 4K Mini also supports future compatibility with UHD formats up to 2160p60. Because the 12G-SDI outputs are dual-link, you can do stereoscopic or simultaneous fill and key in real-time up to 2160p30.
Portable, tough and elegant
The 4K Mini has been designed to be portable as well as for studio use. Because of this Blackmagic have had to ensure that it can endure being taken out in the field. They have achieved all of this while still maintaining a sleek and elegant look.
The 4K Mini features a stylish front panel with an integrated colour LCD and fast button controls while the rear boasts standard BNC and HDMI connectors for video connections.
The unit is also very compact and only takes up 1/3 of a rack width allowing you to fit up to 3 of them in a single rack. This also makes it an unobtrusive, yet stylish addition to your desktop.
Thunderbolt 3
The UltraStudio 4K Mini has been built on Thunderbolt 3 technology to provide an incredibly fast single cable connection that ensures low latency and highly accurate time synchronisation for the highest quality capture and playback.
The 4K Mini is powered from the Thunderbolt connection, it can run from a laptop but also includes an AC power connection so that it can be plugged in when at the studio. It even provides 45W trickle power via Thunderbolt 3 to the connected computer so it stays charged when connected.
