Blackmagic Design

Since 2001, Blackmagic Design has been a leading innovator in the technology that powers the film and video production industry. Their solutions span every stage of production, from field and studio acquisition to cinema, live production, editing, post-production, recording, and format conversion. Renowned for offering feature-rich products at competitive prices, Blackmagic has empowered a diverse range of creatives to bring their stories to life while not requiring a Hollywood budget to make it happen.

The DeckLink Capture Card
The foundation of the line began when Markertek began carrying the first BMD product, the DeckLink capture card designed for Mac OS users. Today, the DeckLink series remains a cornerstone of their offerings, now featuring enhanced support for Windows, advanced color correction, and seamless native capture into platforms like Final Cut, Premiere Pro, and DirectShow. DeckLink capture and playback cards are used every day on Hollywood feature films, episodic television programs, music videos, commercials and more! Multiple modles feature the latest cutting edge technologies such as 12G-SDI and 8K support, DeckLink cards give you the highest quality video

The Mini-Converter Arrives
As the industry marched toward high definition, the demand for high-quality format converters became evident. Recognizing this need, Blackmagic Design introduced a range of Analog, HDMI, and SDI Video Converters at an attention-grabbing price point. Branded as the Mini-Converters, these products quickly gained traction across all points of video production, from broadcast television to house-of-worship production specialists. The technology evolved so rapidly that a Mini Converter, which once retailed at $495, is now the Micro Converter which is smaller, more reliable and supports more output formats at a low $49 price point. If you have a video format requirement, BMD has the converter for the job, including:

• HDM to SDI
• SDI to HDMI
• H.264 & H.265 Streaming
• SMPTE ST2110 IP to HDMI
• 12G Optical Extenders

ATEM Video Production Switchers
Blackmagic's never ending pursuit to offer end-to-end solutions in the production chain continued when it next launched a range of production switchers and video mixers. This became a series that included 80x80 videohubs and has since morphed into the ATEM Mini Switcher, an incredibly affordable switcher with full effects and streaming output capabilities. From studios to independent creators, users can now connect up to four cameras and stream to platforms like YouTube Live, Facebook, Twitch, and more-all while delivering unparalleled professional quality.

Cinema Camera & URSA Broadcast
Completing the loop, Blackmagic Design made waves at the 2012 NAB Show with the debut of its first Cinema Camera. This groundbreaking series paved the way for the Studio Camera line and the URSA Broadcast models, offering a comprehensive range of field and studio-grade cameras for film and video production.

When you include BMD HyperDeck recorders and SmartView monitors, it becomes clear that this is one of the most comprehensive lines of production gear available. Markertek stocks the full range of Blackmagic products and provides free shipping on nearly every item in the lineup.
