World renowned for its broadcast products, Ultimatte has produced a keyer aimed at the DV market. With connectivity for composite, SVideo and Firewire video signals for foreground, background and composited output, Ultimatte DV provides the solution for users searching for a cost-effective tool for live production.
Logical and simple to operate, Ultimatte DV offers the user unrivalled control over the matte parameters. The operator can quickly compare the input, the matte and the composite output via a single monitor connection. Internally generated test signals ensure the highest quality output is maintained. An internal frame store allows non-synchronous signals to be combined – a big advantage as many Dv cameras do not have gunlock – and also allows the user to store a background frame in memory. The unit also functions as a transcoder, enabling the user to convert between video formats. On location, Ultimatte DV can be used as a pre-visualisation tool, enabling the director and crew to evaluate the first composite, rather than only seeing the camera feed on a preview monitor.
