Blackmagic Design BM-ULTMKEY12/B/HD Ultimatte 12 HD Keyer

The Blackmagic Design Ultimatte 12 HD is a dedicated hardware keyer and compositing processor built for professional broadcast and live production environments. Drawing on Ultimatte's decades of compositing technology heritage, this unit employs advanced real-time algorithms that extract foreground subjects from green or blue screen backgrounds with exceptional precision. Fine details like individual hair strands, semi-transparent materials, and subtle color spill are handled with a level of accuracy that distinguishes hardware-based Ultimatte processing from typical software keyers.

Housed in a compact chassis measuring 10.75 x 10.5 x 3.5 inches and weighing 3.25 pounds, the Ultimatte 12 HD is designed to integrate into existing HD broadcast signal chains. It processes composites in real time with no added latency, making it suitable for live news, sports broadcasts, virtual sets, and any production where the keyed output must be program-ready the instant it leaves the unit. Manufactured in Singapore by Blackmagic Design, the Ultimatte 12 HD carries forward the reliability and compositing precision that have made the Ultimatte name a standard in professional video production for high-quality chroma key work.
