Blackmagic Design 9338716001846 UltraStudio Mini Recorder Thunderbolt

The Blackmagic Design UltraStudio Mini Recorder is a compact, professional-grade video capture device that connects to your computer via Thunderbolt, delivering up to 10 Gb/s of bandwidth — enough to handle even uncompressed HD video without compromise. It accepts both SDI and HDMI video inputs, making it versatile enough to capture from professional broadcast equipment, cinema cameras, DSLR rigs, and consumer video sources alike. The device is bus-powered through the Thunderbolt connection, so there is no external power supply to manage, and its small form factor makes it easy to integrate into any editing workstation or portable production setup.

A key strength of the UltraStudio Mini Recorder is its format flexibility. It works with both compressed and uncompressed video codecs, allowing you to choose the workflow that best fits your project — whether that means maximum quality uncompressed capture for feature film work or efficient compressed formats for faster turnaround on commercial projects. All captured files are saved in open standard DPX and QuickTime formats, ensuring compatibility with virtually any professional editing, compositing, or color grading software. Blackmagic also includes a developer SDK, giving software creators the tools to build custom integrations. For video professionals who need a reliable, high-bandwidth capture path from camera or deck to timeline, the Mini Recorder delivers a focused, no-frills solution.
