Get News Editing and Replay in DaVinci Resolve! The DaVinci Resolve cut page has exciting editing, media player and replay features. DaVinci Resolve handles virtually any video file format, so you can play any files your client gives you! For broadcast graphics, DaVinci Resolve can play video files that have an alpha channel, and they will be output as a 10-bit SDI fill and key. Plus the new multi source viewer allows visual media browsing, so that any clips that match in time will be displayed in a multi-view. New "on air" controls allow the key output to enable the downstream keyer in a switcher, so a single button can automate the play-out to air.

DaVinci can even add an automatic stinger! It's the perfect solution for news and replay! Extremely Fast Thunderbolt ConnectionAll UltraStudio Mini models include fast Thunderbolt 4 with video capture and playback plus power, all over a single Thunderbolt cable. Thunderbolt 4 provides massive data speeds, giving enough bandwidth to handle high resolutions, deeper bit depths and advanced frame buffer formats such as 4:2: 2:4
and 4:4: 4:4. It even supports real time conversion of alpha channels out to 10-bit 12G-SDI fill and key outputs. UltraStudio Mini uses the DeckLink API, so almost all video software works. Supports Independent Fill and Key OutputsWith dual 12G-SDI video outputs, Mini Monitor 12G can connect into live production switchers so graphics can be overlaid with transparency. Internally, there's hardware support for both RGBA and YUVA frame buffers. With RGBA graphics, video frames will automatically transcode the RGB pixels to
YUV 4:2: 2:4 video on both fill and key outputs in full 10-bit precision. The two SDI outputs are then connected to a live production switcher where they can be keyed over video. The key output ensures you get smooth blending of the transparent elements in the images. This all means that UltraStudio Mini 12G is ideal for broadcast graphics and stingers! Get True 10-Bit Broadcast Video QualityUltraStudio Mini is designed to support the highest quality video. Most software has support for capture and playback to all popular video formats such as Apple ProRes, DNxHD or even 10-bit uncompressed, so you're never locked into a single file format. 10-bit is the most commonly used television standard as colors can be represented with 4 times the precision of 8-bit video. Only working with 10-bit uncompressed video will ensure all images are a perfect pixel for pixel clone of the original source, so you're always working at the absolute highest quality possible. This means you get the sharpest green screen keying, seamless VFX compositions and superior color correction!
