The Ultimatte 12 is a cutting-edge real-time compositing processor designed for professional broadcast graphics. It offers advanced algorithms, colour science, and photorealistic compositing, delivering exceptional edge handling, colour separation, spill suppression, and transparency effects. It supports a range of applications, from live virtual environments to fixed-camera virtual sets.

Dedicated Keying for Each Camera

Ultimatte 12 allows each camera to have its own keyer, ensuring consistent quality across multi-camera setups and eliminating green screen variations.

Built-In Frame Stores

Integrated frame stores enable layering of pre-rendered backgrounds and augmented reality elements without the need for live video inputs.

Advanced Image Processing

Ultimatte 12’s sophisticated algorithms generate detailed mattes and process different parts of the image independently, ensuring sharp edges and smooth transitions.

One-Touch Keying for Fast Setup

The one-touch keying feature automates over 100 parameters, allowing for quick and accurate scene setup, even with unevenly lit green or blue screens.

Revolutionary Layer Compositing

Support for translucent layers and complex broadcast graphics makes it possible to add realistic glass effects and preserve natural colour transparency.

Superior Colour Fidelity

The system ensures difficult colours, like bright yellow against green screens, are accurately retained while eliminating unwanted spill.

Versatile Video Connections

With up to 7 video inputs, Ultimatte 12 supports foreground, background, mattes, and layers.

Monitoring and Control

The monitor cascade feature allows seamless previewing of up to eight units on a single SDI display, while Ethernet connectivity supports Ultimatte Software Control and Smart Remote 4 integration.

Free Software Control

The included Ultimatte Software Control for Mac and Windows provides intuitive access to all settings, with presets stored in flash memory for easy recall.

Smart Remote 4

An optional touchscreen Smart Remote 4 enables fine-tuned control of up to eight Ultimatte units, offering quick preset recall and custom parameter adjustments.

Future-Ready with 12G-SDI

Ultimatte 12 is designed for current HD workflows, ensuring long-term compatibility and investment protection.
