Adobe Photoshop CS5
DeckLink includes Adobe Photoshop
®
plug-ins, so you can directly capture and output still frames from
within the Photoshop application itself.
If you’re working with 10 bit HD/SD-SDI, you can even import and export 16 bit Photoshop images
for full quality. Use DeckLink keying to export and key graphics from the video input using Photoshop
alpha channels.
Import an image into Photoshop
1. From Photoshop select
File > Import > Blackmagic Image Capture
2. Select the “Video Input Format” and the “Image Bit Depth” and then click Capture Image
Export an image from Photoshop
1. Select
File > Export > Blackmagic Image Export
2. Select Video Output Format and then click Output Image
Note: Once you have set the options in the “Import” or “Export” windows, each subsequent Import and
Export will not display the window, so you can grab and output frames much faster. However if you would
like to change your import or export formats, hold the
Option key, when selecting import or export.
