Blackmagic Design today announced the addition of two new products to its lineup: Intensity and DeckLink HD Studio. Intensity (US$249) is an ultra low cost HDMI capture playback card that instantly switches between 1080HD, 720HD, NTSC and PAL video standards. With Intensity, users get the quality of uncompressed video via HDMI from cameras, decks and set top boxes, enabling them to playback to any HDMI big screen television or video projector for video editing, in SD or HD, and with real time effects. DeckLink HD Studio ($995), a capture and playback card supporting both HDMI and analog component video. DeckLink HD Studio allows capture from HDMI cameras or decks, as well as analog decks and set top boxes. Both products will be available beginning in October.
