Welcome
Thank you for purchasing your Blackmagic Ultimatte 12.
Ultimatte has been the premiere keyer used in the film and television industries for decades and
no other keyer comes close to the performance that Ultimatte can achieve. It’s powerful enough to
handle fine detail on key edges as well as retaining stronger colors, even when those foreground
colors are close to the key color. Even uneven green and blue screen backdrops can be handled.
However, what makes Ultimatte so powerful is its ability to map shadows onto the new background
layer combined with its color spill management that lets you create extremely realistic environments.
In many ways, Ultimatte is much more than a keyer as it’s really a real time advanced compositor for
creating photorealistic virtual environments. Ultimatte lets you move your talent to any location at
the click of a button and the results look real.
Ultimatte 12 is the latest model of Ultimatte and this new model includes entirely new algorithms and
color science, incredible edge handling, greater color separation, amazing color fidelity and better
spill suppression than previous models.
The new Ultimatte 12 is also Ultra HD as it includes advanced 12G-SDI design, however the 12G-SDI
connections also switch between all SD, HD and Ultra HD formats up to 2160p60. This means
Ultimatte 12 has the flexibility to work in HD today but then switch to Ultra HD whenever you need.
