DeckLink Studio includes the most amazing quality digital internal keyer
that lets you key RGBA images over the video input. That's a total keying
solution built right into DeckLink Studio. The built in keyer works great
when used with Blackmagic Design's included Photoshop plug-ins, or even
with RGBA animated video software for keying. If you want to perform
keying externally, such as an external video mixer, then just select
external key and DeckLink Studio will output the key channel on the SD-SDI
output, with the fill channel on the main SD/HD-SDI output.

Chrysalis
A compelling thriller by author, Ray
Bradbury, Chrysalis was produced by Roger Lay, Jr., and edited by
Cheyenne Pesko. Using a tapeless workflow and DeckLink HD Extreme,
Chrysalis depicts an isolated group of scientists searching for new ways
to sustain life and save the planet Earth.
10:1 Cost Advantage
Traditional systems for editing and
design in post production and broadcast are sold as a complete system, so
you have no choice in the components or even what software and storage
you can use. With DeckLink cards and Multibridge based systems, you can
choose your favorite software and still have complete compatibility. The
big advantage is software and hardware vendors compete to give you the
highest quality, more features and the lowest possible price.
Metalocalypse
The extremely popular animated series on
Adult Swim/Cartoon Network, and a huge hit with the male 18-34 segment,
Metalocalypse takes HD into a whole new world. According to Chris
Prynoski, "You can see so much more delicious animated goodness on your
fancy new TV set..."
Frame Accurate
Editing systems based on Final Cut Pro™
or Premiere Pro using DeckLink, may be inexpensive but they're certainly
professional. Editors demand frame accurate batch capture and perfect AV
sync!
Uncompressed Video Quality
SDI uses a higher data rate than DV, so
it’s got the speed to handle full resolution video in standard definition
or high definition, completely uncompressed. That means you can preserve
video quality until you need to compress the video, such as the final
compression pass for streaming or broadcast.
Insert Automatic Titles
Use LiveKey with DeckLink’s SD keying
mode to automatically output fill and key using the SDI video outputs.
LiveKey has an automatic mode that lets you fade graphics up and down
with programmable times. It's great for dubbing bugs and 'not for
broadcast' messages.
Archiving
Eliminate the dangers of archiving on
tape formats that can be obsoleted over time. By archiving your work onto
disk with DeckLink, your work is online whenever you need to view it.
File formats such as QuickTime™ and AVI have been around for longer than
many current tape formats and are great for archiving.
