Du nouveau dans la gamme des cartes SDi de BlackMagic Design. Le modèle haut de gamme HD Extreme se renouvelle en lieu et place du précédent du même nom. En nouveauté: Dual Link SDI d'un débit de 3 Gb/s SDI en 4:4:4 et un nouveau downconverter hardware assurant le retour vidéo (playback) en HD et SD simultanément.

Comme d'habitude, elle se destine en montage à Premiere Pro (mac et PC) et à Final Cut Pro (Mac), mais aussi à d'autres logiciels de compositing et effets.

Tarifs annoncé 775€.
