Titolo: Intensity della Blackmagic Design

Hi,
We have some exciting new products we are announcing at IBC 2006 in 
Amsterdam, and we think these new products are some of our most exciting 
yet, as they make high-end television even more affordable and exciting!
Introducing Intensity
I feel Intensity is a product we have always dreamed of making.
You might have noticed that the latest HDV cameras are allowing higher 
quality at low cost, however the problem is HDV video compression is too 
heavy. Most people who want to use HDV cameras for high-end work suffer 
quality issues because the compression is so tight.
The latest HDV cameras such as the Sony HDR-HC3 change all this because 
they include HDMI video out connections.
HDMI is totally uncompressed, and is similar to HD-SDI in quality. For 
less than $1,500 you can get a video camera that features a high 
definition uncompressed video output similar to HD-SDI in quality. 
That's really amazing.
Intensity is designed specifically for cameras such as the Sony HDR-HC3, 
Sony HDR-UX1, or Sony HDR-SR1 and is the world’s first high definition 
HDMI editing card. It features HDMI capture and HDMI playback at 
uncompressed or professional compressed quality for only US$249.
Intensity plugs into Windows XP, Windows 2003 Server, or Mac OS X PCIe 
systems, and is compatible with Adobe Premiere Pro, Apple Final Cut Pro, 
After Effects, Photoshop with included plug-ins, and more. You can use 
any DirectShow or QuickTime based software, so you can use almost any 
software you want to.
Intensity will capture and play back with uncompressed video for 
incredible quality. You can even choose a professional compression such 
as our new full resolution JPEG codec on Windows, or DVCPRO HD on Mac OS 
X when Final Cut Pro is installed.
Unlike anything before it, Intensity will finally allow anyone to take 
advantage of uncompressed video quality. It will be exciting to see how 
people use it!
Intensity will be available from October 15th for only $249.

Carina, come tutte le cose della BM, soprattutto il prezzo.
Ma, molto male, non vedo driver per Linux o altri Os aperti. Peccato.
Cmq l'HDMI penso che sara' ben presto presente su tutta le Mobo di prossima 
generazione (anzi mi pare su alcune gia' ci sia). L'importante e' che non 
mettano HDCP di merda obbligatorio.

Da un anno nello studio abbiamo solo sistemi
con interfaccia Blackmagic, sia su Mac con
Final Cut che su Windows con Premiere.
Mai una rogna, i driver  e i codec sono estremamente
performanti, i prezzi sono ridicoli per quello che
ti permette di fare.
Ormai il vecchio Avid viene usato sempre meno, solo
quando arriva il solito regista scassacazzi che lo pretende.

 ti permette di fare.

scusa se ti disturbo, ma io vorrei lavorare con blackmagic, e già da un po' 
di tempo.
la cosa che mi ha fermato è la mancanza di dettagli tecnici sul sito.
mi sai indicare una workstation specifica per lavorare in SD (ed in 
eventuale HD da telecamerina via firewire) sicuramente compatibile?
grazie
