Blackmagic Design Ultimatte 12 HD Mini

The Ultimatte 12 HD Mini is an advanced real-time keyer and compositing processor, designed to bring broadcast-quality chroma-keying and virtual-set workflows to HD productions — even when using consumer cameras.

Key Features

• Real-time HD keying up to 1080p60 via HDMI or 3G-SDI, suitable for cameras connected to live-production switchers.

• Broadcast-grade compositing algorithms, colour science, and spill suppression for clean, natural keying — even with challenging edges (hair, semi-transparent objects, soft edges).

• 6 GB internal frame store — ideal for virtual sets or background images when working with fixed cameras and pre-rendered stills. 

• Dual-input flexibility: 2 × HDMI inputs and 2 × SDI inputs (plus 1 SDI monitor input) and outputs to fit both SDI and HDMI-based workflows. 

• Compact, rack-mount friendly form-factor (1 U height, one-third rack width) — making it practical for studio racks and small production setups.

• Supports external control via Ethernet or optional hardware panel, and offers compatibility with cameras and switchers (including tally/camera control where supported).

Ideal For:

• Broadcasts, live streams, corporate videos, education or small studio productions that need professional chroma-key/compositing without requiring costly 4K/8K gear.

• Virtual-set production, weather/news-style green-screen setups, or any project needing real-time keying with minimal latency.

• Creators or small teams using HDMI-based cameras (e.g. consumer or prosumer cameras) who still want broadcast-grade results.
