The Blackmagic Design Ultimatte 12 HD is a powerful real-time compositing processor engineered to deliver high-quality chroma keying and real-time compositing for broadcast, film, and live productions. Designed with cutting-edge technology, the Ultimatte 12 HD provides precision keying with clean edges, accurate color fidelity, and seamless blending between foreground and background elements, making it ideal for virtual sets, weather broadcasts, and real-time compositing in film and television production.

At the core of the Ultimatte 12 HD is its ability to perform real-time chroma keying with extreme accuracy, ensuring smooth and precise separation between your green or blue screen and the subject. It features advanced edge handling algorithms, which are designed to remove artifacts and create natural-looking edges, particularly around fine details like hair or transparent objects. This results in more realistic composites, even in challenging keying scenarios.

The 1080p HD support makes the Ultimatte 12 HD ideal for professional broadcast and live streaming applications, where high-quality video and flawless keying are essential. It integrates easily into existing SDI-based broadcast workflows with SDI inputs and outputs, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of cameras, switchers, and other broadcast equipment.

One of the standout features of the Ultimatte 12 HD is its internal frame store, which allows you to load and store stills, backgrounds, and graphics for real-time compositing. This is especially useful for virtual sets or live broadcasts that require dynamic background changes without interrupting the flow of production.

The Ultimatte 12 HD also includes integrated color correction tools to ensure accurate color reproduction. The color fidelity of both the foreground subject and the background is carefully preserved, avoiding the washed-out or mismatched colors often seen in less advanced keying systems. This ensures that your talent looks natural and blends seamlessly with the background or virtual environment.

For modern broadcast and production workflows, the Ultimatte 12 HD supports HDR (High Dynamic Range) keying, allowing you to produce content with a broader range of brightness and color depth. This is critical for producing high-quality video in HDR formats, especially as more broadcast and streaming platforms shift to HDR standards.

Designed to handle the demands of professional live production, the Ultimatte 12 HD delivers real-time performance, ensuring smooth, uninterrupted keying and compositing during live broadcasts, virtual events, or on-set productions. Its intuitive control interface allows operators to quickly adjust keying parameters, background settings, and color correction, making it easy to produce polished composites on the fly.
