Blackmagic Design Intensity Pro 4K

Enjoy quality capture and playback in SD, HD, and Ultra HD for HDMI, YUV, S-Video and NTSC/PAL devices with the Intensity Pro 4K. The Intensity Pro 4K capture card has the same features as the Intensity Pro, and adds Ultra HD and 1080p60 high frame rate support. Capture Ultra HD images at up to 30 frames per second, or 1080HD at up to 60 frames per second. Save files with or without compression to use with popular Mac and Windows video software.

Analog and digital connections allow you to connect anything from older VHS decks to the newest big screen 4K TVs. High quality connections ensure you get the best looking video in any format. HDMI connectors work with HD and Ultra HD equipment. Analog YUV, S-Video, and NTSC/PAL connections work with older analog TVs, videotape players, and more. Connect your cameras to use Intensity Pro 4K for live streaming, video conferencing, presentations, and more.

The Intensity Pro 4K is built with video components used in professional film and TV equipment. Files can be saved in compressed formats like ProRes and DNxHD for visible steps in color gradient, or as fully uncompressed 10-bit video for a smooth color gradient preferred by professional TV production studios.

Use the capture and playback card with your preferred video software. It is a PCIe card for Mac, Windows, and Linux computers, and includes Media Express software and DaVinci Resolve. Save files in QuickTime or Windows Media format to use with other popular applications.

HD gaming consoles run up to 60 frames per second (double the rate of ordinary HD) to make sure motions are smooth during the fastest gameplay. The Intensity Pro 4K is built to keep up with your gaming, able to capture 1080 HD video at the same 60 frames per second rate. Or slow down a little and use the Intensity Pro 4K to make digital archives of VHS, BetaMax video tapes and DVDs.
