Blackmagic Design Intensity Pro
Blackmagic Design Intensity ProDescription
Blackmagic Design Intensity Pro lets you capture and playback in the most incredible quality of HDMI and component analog video in both SD and HD. Smash the quality barrier for your video work because Intensity is not only the highest quality, but also affordable! There's three fantastic models of Intensity; Intensity Pro for PCI Express based computers, Intensity Shuttle for USB 3.0 computers and new Intensity Extreme with lightning-fast Thunderbolt™ technology!
Professional Performance
Go beyond the limits of your AVCHD or HDV camera! Simply plug using HDMI or analog and capture direct from your camera's CCD! You get incredible quality that completely bypasses the camera's video compression. Use Blackmagic Design Intensity Pro for monitoring from your edit software for maximum real time effects! Intensity connects direct to your editing software's real time effects processing!
PCI Express, USB 3.0 or Thunderbolt™
There are three Intensity models available, depending on the computer you use. Blackmagic Design Intensity Proworks with Mac, Windows and Linux computers with PCI Express slots. PCI Express gives you incredible speed for maximum real time effects in a card based design that fits right inside your computer. Intensity Shuttle works on Windows computers with USB 3.0. It uses SuperSpeed USB 3.0, the USB connection standard for computers that's 10 times faster than regular USB. That's 4.8 Gb/s, which easily handles the highest quality 10 bit uncompressed 1080HD video on x58 or P55 series or better Windows computers. And then there’s new Intensity Extreme. It’s the first of the Intensity range to use Intel’s revolutionary Thunderbolt™ technology.
New Intensity Extreme with Thunderbolt™
Introducing Intensity Extreme, built with blazingly fast Thunderbolt™ technology. Machined from a solid piece of aluminum, Intensity Extreme gives you incredible quality HDMI, component video, s-video and composite 10 bit capture and playback. Better still, this super-sleek, high-speed data transfer system offers an incredible 10 Gb/s connection that’s up to 20 times faster than USB 2.0 and up to 11.5 times faster than FireWire 800
Professional Video Standards
Blackmagic Design Intensity Pro will instantly switch between HD and SD video standards including HDTV 1080i/59.94, 1080i/50, 720p/59.94, 720p/50, NTSC and PAL. Intensity can also capture and play back all professional file formats so you can deliver finished television programs, music videos and other work at broadcast standards. Add broadcast quality to your editing system and move to a new world of video editing where your images always stay absolutely perfect at full resolution HDTV!
Features
True HDMI Digital Connections
Blackmagic Design Intensity Pro features HDMI-in for connecting to cameras and digital set-top boxes for the highest quality capture. Get higher quality capture from HD cameras by capturing direct and bypassing the HDV compression chip for high quality video captured direct from the image sensor. As edit software can't 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 out.
Highest Quality Analog Connections
The included break-out cable connects Blackmagic Design Intensity Pro to all types of analog video and audio equipment. This gives you full compatibility with analog component, NTSC, PAL, S-Video and analog audio.
Uncompressed or Compressed Video
HDV and DV also use heavy compression. With HDV, the compression is time based which loads up the system CPU as the editing software reassembles the video just to display each frame in the video. With Intensity you're working in uncompressed, so all CPU time is free for real time effects and the system feels snappy and fast to use. Because uncompressed video in HD requires a fast disk array, to save cost you can also choose compressed video that's higher quality than HDV. For example you can use DV 100 codec on Mac OS X™ which is 4 times better quality than HDV, or on Windows™ you can choose our new full resolution JPEG codec
Full Resolution
Intensity uses full resolution HDTV, which is a massive 1920 x 1080 pixels for every video frame. HDV only uses 1440 pixels wide due to the limitations of the small cassette tapes used and the FireWire speeds build into the cameras. However the newer cameras being released, such as the Sony HDR-HC3 have built-in HDMI video output which allow access to the raw uncompressed video from the CCD directly. That provides incredible quality. If you're capturing off HDV tape, you can still enjoy editing video in full resolution, so your graphics and effects look sharp because only uncompressed video eliminates the horizontal scaling that's required when rendering HDV footage with graphics and effects.
DVD Authoring
DVDs from uncompressed media are much higher quality, and as all media files used on Intensity are QuickTime™ or AVI, you get full compatibility with DVD authoring software. Use DVD Studio Pro™ or even iDVD™ on Mac OS X™ or Encore DVD® on Windows™ for powerful DVD creation.
Live Streaming
Always get a clean uncompressed video source for your streaming files. Uncompressed source video also means you don't waste CPU time de-compressing video on capture, so all the computer's CPU is free for compressing to streaming standards. You get faster rendering of your streaming files and more real time support. Blackmagic Design Intensity Pro is compatible with all streaming software on Mac OS X™ and Windows™.

Adobe Premiere Pro™
On Windows, Blackmagic's full resolution (1920 x 1080) professional quality compressed HD codec can capture JPEG AVI files in real time using Premiere Pro. Unlike HDV and DVCPRO HD which uses reduced resolution 1440 x 1080 video, Blackmagic's Online JPEG maintains the full resolution 1920 x 1080 resolution of HD video without the huge file size of uncompressed HD video. Blackmagic's Online JPEG is so efficient that full motion 1080i HD video can be recorded at only 12 MB per second vs. a massive 119 MB per second for uncompressed HD video.
Adobe After Effects™
Blackmagic Design Intensity Pro even allows high end design and effects work, great for the special effects you've always wanted in Independent Films, use After Effects, Combustion™, Photoshop® and more. Blackmagic Design Intensity Pro also includes an RGB QuickTime™ preview output for After Effects and Fusion™. And, you can always preview on the video-out interactively as you design and then play pre-renders using real time ram preview. When rendering your project, processing quality using the Blackmagic codec is full 16 bit, so you always get the advantage of uncompressed video.
Adobe Photoshop™
Blackmagic Design Intensity Pro includes special Photoshop plug-ins, so you can directly capture and output still frames from within Photoshop. Outputting Photoshop graphics from Intensity lets you see the correct color and the effects of video interlace and field movement. Intensity uses the correct video levels so you can't get illegal 100% RGB video levels eliminating, surprises when graphics are displayed!
Sony Vegas Pro
Sony Vegas Pro works seamlessly with Blackmagic Design Intensity Pro and Shuttle for an incredible SD and HD editing experience! Use powerful video effects and versatile audio editing tools while previewing your work in real time even with full HD projects! Capture up to 10 bit uncompressed so you can start with the best possible image quality for your Blu-ray Disc creation or Windows Media 9 content distribution.
Blackmagic Utilities Included!
Disk Speed Test
Configuring a high speed disk array for high speed uncompressed high definition video is getting easier. Even SATA disks can be connected together for low cost arrays with amazing speed and capacity. Use Disk Speed Test (included free) to get a great real world indication of your disk array performance. Reported in a simple frames per second count, Disk Speed Test uses long sustained block transfers just like capturing and playing video, so it's more accurate than generic disk test utilities.
Blackmagic Software Codec
Sometimes you might not have a Intensity card installed, so with the Blackmagic Software Codec you can still access 10 bit uncompressed files, even with 16 bit rendering. It's only takes a minute to download and get full media file access even without Intensity hardware installed. You can read and render files on as many systems as you like. Even pass our codec to your clients and freelancers so they can move files to portable disks and work offline too!
