Introducing Intensity
Intensity features the latest HDMI technology for the highest quality capture and playback on
PCI Express computers with Mac OS X or Windows XP. Now you can edit using big-screen HDMI
televisions and video projectors, or capture uncompressed quality directly from HDV cameras.
True HDMI digital connections
Intensity features HDMI input for connecting cameras and digital set-top boxes for the highest
quality capture. Get the highest quality capture possible from HDV cameras by capturing from the
camera’s image sensor and bypassing the HDV compression chip. Because edit software cannot
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 output.
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 playback 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.
Professional video standards
Instantly switch between HD and SD video standards including HDTV 1080i/59.94, 1080i/50,
720p/59.94, 720p/50, NTSC and PAL. Intensity allows capture in professional file formats which are
fully compatible with Blackmagic Design’s DeckLink and Multibridge capture cards, so you can
deliver finished television programs, music videos and other work at broadcast standards.
