Blackmagic Design UltraStudio Mini Replay 12G

The Blackmagic Design UltraStudio Mini Replay 12G is a high-performance Thunderbolt 4 solution designed for professional broadcast environments. Unlike standard interfaces, it supports simultaneous 12G-SDI capture and playback, making it an essential tool for live action replay, real-time color grading, and broadcast graphics.

Seamless DaVinci Resolve Integration

Specifically engineered for live replay workflows, the UltraStudio Mini Replay 12G integrates perfectly with DaVinci Resolve. Connect the 12G-SDI input to a switcher multiview and utilize dedicated outputs to feed replay footage back into the production. A dedicated monitoring output allows operators to review clips without interrupting the live feed.

Professional Fill and Key Outputs

For high-end broadcast graphics, this device features dedicated 12G-SDI fill and key outputs. It converts graphics with alpha channels into 10-bit SDI signals, enabling transparent titles, stingers, and lower thirds to be keyed over live video via a production switcher.

Supporting SD, HD, and Ultra HD up to 2160p60, the multi-rate 12G-SDI connection handles data rates from 270Mb to 12G. The Thunderbolt 4 interface provides high-speed data transfer and bus power, ensuring a compact and efficient setup for mobile production kits and studio racks.
