Blackmagic Design UltraStudio Pro Wins Prestigious Broadcast Engineering Magazine Pick Hit Award
Milpitas, CA, April 26, 2010 – Blackmagic Design today announced that the Blackmagic Design UltraStudio Pro received a 2010 Broadcast Engineering Pick Hit Award at NAB 2010. UltraStudio Pro is the world’s first broadcast quality SD/HD capture and playback solution for USB 3.0 computers and the first professional capture and playback solution with 10 bit SDI, HDMI, component, s-video, composite in SD and HD, plus hardware up, down, cross converter.
With a long history, Pick Hits are the most prestigious technical awards given at NAB. A panel of independent judges toured the show floor for three days, looking for innovative products and technology. The judges then met to make their selections based on several criteria, including the technical and financial improvements the product can bring to a facility’s operation. Our editors and publishers have no vote in the selection process.
UltraStudio Pro combines the latest broadcast technology into an attractive ultra-thin design that fits into modern client friendly post production environments. With dozens of audio and video connections built in, the new style of design is critical to keeping cables hidden and editors can keep their studio neat and clean! UltraStudio Pro’s chassis is machined from solid metal with high grip silicon feet, so it’s strong enough to withstand harsh broadcast environments and won’t move around when heavy cables are connected.
“The Pick Hit is a huge honor, and shows us that NAB attendees and the readers of Broadcast Engineering understand that importance of the UltraStudio Pro,” said Grant Petty, CEO, Blackmagic Design. “UltraStudio Pro will help make high quality editing more exciting because with USB 3.0, and professionals will have more freedom to be creative in how we design products. The result is a wonderful solution that looks great, hides the cables, works as an audio level meter and is incredibly compact and portable.”
