Intensity Pro features the world’s first HDMI and analog component, NTSC/PAL and S-Video capture and playback on Windows and Mac OS X computers. That’s great for HDTV or standard definition editing using big screen televisions and video projectors. Work in uncompressed video and eliminate HDV & DV compression quality problems, or use disk-space friendly professional compressed video if required.

Beyond the Limits of HDV

Working in HDTV is exciting, however HDV’s heavy compression and limited 1440 x 1080 resolution can cause problems with video quality and editing. Intensity Pro eliminates these problems by using direct capture from the camera image sensor at full 1920 x 1080 HDTV resolution and uncompressed video quality.

Both HDMI and Analog Connections

Intensity Pro enables you to capture directly from the HD camera’s CCD, bypassing the video compression chip for true uncompressed video quality. Featuring both HDMI and analog video connections means Intensity Pro works with a massive range of cameras, televisions and video projectors.

Multi Camera HD Production Studio

Perform live production with 2 Intensity cards and cameras plugged into your system using the included Blackmagic On-Air software. On-Air auto sync’s cameras, handles monitoring and recording, plus is so easy to use it’s ideal for education, theater, corporate training and much more. Only On-Air allows real time mixing between two cameras with a single button press, so anyone can produce professional results fast.

Playback to your Big Screen HDTV

If you’re editing in DV, HDV, uncompressed or JPEG video, you can use Intensity Pro’s video outputs for incredible quality edit monitoring. Use big screen televisions and video projectors for breathtaking cinema style edit monitoring and experience the amazing quality of your work.
