Blackmagic Design

Blackmagic Design has introduced a new product category that enables signal transmission over Ethernet in compliance with the SMPTE 2110 standard. This enables near-latency transmission of audio and video data in the TV standard over an Ethernet network. All connected devices on the network can access and use the signals fed into the network without the need for additional cables. Blackmagic Design compresses the video signal using the newly developed 2110 IP codec, enabling transmission over 10G Ethernet networks. This is ideal for use in professional production and broadcast facilities, live events and educational institutions.

Blackmagic Design has released a new ATEM Switchers 9.7 software update for all ATEM Television Studio models that adds support for downstream key tally light overrides, webcam source routing, and live editing of recorded files. There's also support for Blackmagic Cloud sync and SRT streaming, network storage for discs, and new options for displaying multiple previews on the screen.

Smart Remote 2.2 update

Ultimatte Update 2.2

Blackmagic Design today released the Ultimatte 2.2 update, which adds support for 2110 IP video to Ultimatte 12 4K.

This means you can now choose between SDI or 2110 IP for foreground input, giving you a wider range of options for compositing, including footage from 2110 IP-enabled cameras such as the Blackmagic Studio Camera. In addition, you can also send program output over Ethernet, as 2110 IP video is bi-directional over Ethernet.

The Ultimatte 2.2 update is now available as a free download here.

Blackmagic today released Blackmagic Video Assist 3.18, an update that adds support for Blackmagic RAW recording from Panasonic UB10 cameras to the Video Assist 5" 12G HDR and Video Assist 7" 12G HDR models.

When recording Blackmagic RAW using Video Assist 12G HDR, you can also save camera settings to metadata. This means that white balance and exposure are encoded into a file that DaVinci Resolve can read. However, you can still overwrite these settings later when color correcting the RAW palette.

The Blackmagic Video Assist 3.18 update is now available as a free download here.
