BLACKMAGIC SHIPS INTENSITY PRO CAPTURE/PLAYBACK CARD

This allows users to go beyond the quality limits of HDV for editing, design and authoring.

In addition, Intensity Pro can be connected to any big screen TV or video projector for edit monitoring. While current computers don't have the processing speed to render complex multi-layer realtime effects in HDV playing back to FireWire cameras, Intensity eliminates the problem by outputting video on HDMI and analog outputs for big screen monitoring in both SD or HD formats.

Priced at $349,  Intensity Pro includes On-Air 2.0 Software for realtime video mixing. Users can plug two Intensity or Intensity

Pro cards into a computer for two camera mixing for live video production. Intensity Pro switches between the 1080 HD, 720 HD, NTSC and PAL video standards and is fully compatible with Adobe Premiere Pro, Apple Final Cut Pro, Adobe After Effects, Adobe Photoshop and any DirectShow or QuickTime-based software application on Windows and Mac OS X platforms.
