RENT Blackmagic Design UltraStudio Monitor 3G Playback Device with Thunderbolt Features

What sets the UltraStudio Monitor 3G Playback Device with Thunderbolt 3 apart is its professional-grade capture and playback capabilities, designed specifically for Thunderbolt 3 computers. This device allows seamless connectivity to a diverse range of video equipment, making it an ideal choice for constructing high-performance editing workstations, archiving from vintage broadcast decks, broadcasting graphics, and even live streaming.

The UltraStudio Monitor 3G offers a broad spectrum of video and audio connections that operate across all SD, HD, Ultra HD, and 4K DCI formats up to 60 frames per second. These connections include SDI, HDMI, and analog video and audio, all delivering broadcast-quality 10-bit YUV and 12-bit RGB in Apple ProRes and uncompressed file formats.

Designed to be compatible with popular video software across Mac, Windows, and Linux platforms, the UltraStudio Monitor 3G works seamlessly with DaVinci Resolve, Avid Media Composer, Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, and more. This device is not just a tool, but a versatile solution for any workflow, whether you're on-set or in post-production.

The UltraStudio Monitor 3G delivers broadcast and digital cinema quality capture and playback, making it perfect for a wide range of applications, from editing, color grading, and visual effects to live capture and on-set monitoring during production. With models supporting 12G-SDI and the latest HDR formats, this device ensures that high-end colorists have everything they need for monitoring to broadcast displays, HDR televisions, or the latest digital cinema projectors.

Built on the revolutionary Thunderbolt 3 technology, the UltraStudio Monitor 3G uses a single cable connection to any computer, ensuring low latency and highly accurate time synchronization for the highest quality capture and playback. The UltraStudio HD Mini model is powered from the Thunderbolt connection, allowing it to run from a laptop battery without needing any power connection. UltraStudio 4K models also include an AC power connection, making them perfect for studio work. The new UltraStudio 4K Mini model even provides 45W trickle power via Thunderbolt 3 to the connected computer, ensuring it stays charged when connected.
