BLACKMAGIC SHOWING OPENHD EDITING SYSTEM AT SUNDANCE

The Film Center explores the craft of filmmaking by offering visitors the opportunity to engage in a dialogue with industry pros and filmmakers. Blackmagic believes the OpenHD system is suitable for filmmakers of every genre, be it indies or feature films, episodic television, documentaries or broadcast productions.

The Multibridge Extreme breakout box is a bi-directional A/D and D/A converter that allows editors to switch between HD and SD material, and supports dual-link HD-SDI 4:4:4. The Multibridge connects to editing systems via PCI Express boards at 10GBps, a connection that is 25 times faster than FireWire.

DeckLink HD series cards are dual rate, enabling instant switching between HD-SDI and SD-SDI, and featuring high quality 10-bit SDI. And Videohub Workgroup allows users to easily connect together in both HD or SD, eliminating the potential mess of manually patching editing systems and decks together.
