DeckLink - HDMI Intensity capture card and new drivers with JPEG Codec

With a fairly clever Schnittlölsung surprised Blackmagic Design, the professional world: the first HDMI interface card called Intensity for just $ 250 is uncompressed digital HD signals via the HDMI -interface and can also output uncompressed again. The company even promises that some cameras have a better picture HDMI output, if not with HDV on tape, but the image "live" is removed. This will, according to Black Magic one of the MPEG2 HDV codec is bypassed and the other would be the professional (and quite expensive) HD-SDI interfaces obsolete. According to the data, the card with at 4:2:2, but probably only with 8 bits. HDMI 1.3 would even allow 10-bit, which then in absolute Studio Standard and in line with HD-SDI would. The sizes go up to 1080p25 and 1080i50 with 1920 x 1080 pixels, 1080p50 is not currently supported, however, 720p60. The map should smoothly with Adobe Premiere Pro, Apple Final Cut Pro, Adobe After Effects, Adobe Photoshop and any DirectShow or QuickTime - -based software. Riecht zeimlich after a cool part ... At the same time, Blackmagic Design also has a new driver (5.7) for the house DeckLink cards announced. The Clue: To date the cards worked only uncompressed, but it is now possible to stream HD at full resolution up to 1920 with a new HD-JPEG compression codec. This will lower the required data rate, which is why Black Magic, a smooth HD editing without Raid Array promises. The Direct Show codec is fully compatible with After Effects and Premiere compatible, and stores video in 4:2:2 color space. An alpha channel was not integrated.
