Blackmagic URSA Viewfinder: A high resolution electronic viewfinder specifically designed for the Blackmagic URSA and Blackmagic URSA Mini digital film cameras (Shipping in May for $1,495)

12G-SDI/ 60p Broadcasting: We are very excited to announce a full range of 12G-SDI, 60p products. HD formats up to 1080p60 are common and broadcasters cannot move to Ultra HD unless they can get the same high frame rate workflows. With these new products, broadcasters can get the same high frame rates because these products have all been designed from the ground up to support Ultra HD up to 2160p60. And with multi rate 12G-SDI connections, broadcasters can automatically switch to 6G-SDI, 3G-SDI and HD-SDI and are compatible with existing HD equipment, so they can master programs in 2160p60 while simultaneously outputting them in HD with realtime down conversion. In the end, with Ultra HD production at 60 frames per second, viewers will see incredibly clear, detailed images where every single frame looks like a super sharp still photograph.

New 12G-SDI/2160p60 products include:

ATEM 2 M/E Broadcast Studio 4K: The world’s first high frame rate Ultra HD 2160p60 switcher with 12G-SDI (Shipping in June for $5,995.)
