Blackmagic software update
Blackmagic Design has released a new software update for its DeckLink and Multibridge series capture and playback video cards that adds support for the new features in Apple Final Cut Studio 2. The latest revision adds support for ProRes 422, open format timelines, new easy setup management, and video output from Color. ProRes 422 support allows real time capture directly into a compressed video format for a sizable reduction in disk space requirements, and all Blackmagic Design cards use an uncompressed video link to the Final Cut Studio real time effects renderer that negates the need for FireWire recompression. The update also supports the new Open Format Timeline technology that allows users to play various video format files in the editing timeline. The software is available for free.
