New Product
BlackMagic Design Intensity Pro for under $400.00
Go Beyond HDV Video Quality
HDV Editing now is more affordable.
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 play back 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 colour 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.
