Blackmagic Design Video Recorder H.264 Encoder For Mac

The Blackmagic Duplicator 4K is like two recorders in one! Featuring 25 built in SD card recorders, Blackmagic Duplicator 4K can record to all 25 cards at a time, or be changed to record to a single card at a time for long form recording. Slap and beans download. When recording to all 25 SD cards, you get a duplicator that gives you 25 x H.264 or H.265 copies that you can sell to customers the moment a live event finishes. Imagine selling your program as attendees leave concerts, training seminars, or even school events!

When changed to record a single SD card at a time, Blackmagic Duplicator 4K becomes a powerful long form recorder. With 25 SD cards, you can record for weeks at a time without needing to change the cards out. You can even set Blackmagic Duplicator to automatically clear the oldest card for infinite recording, making it perfect for security and broadcast program logging. The new Blackmagic Duplicator 4K 1.2 update lets you create incredibly long recordings using commonly available, inexpensive SD cards. Plus, the Blackmagic Duplicator 4K is remote controllable, making it perfect for security installations, live broadcast archival work and more. You can record regular HD onto inexpensive 16GB cards 24 hours a day for 4 days without stopping, or you can record non‑stop for 66 days when using 256GB cards! Even when recording Ultra HD, you can still get incredibly long recordings before you need to add new blank cards to keep recording!

With this Blackmagic video converter, you can encode Blackmagic DNxHD MXF, ProRes 422 MOV, QuickTime MOV, H.264 MP4 on Mac and Windows. For professional editing software users, this powerful video converter app can transcode Blackmagic footage for Final Cut Pro X/7/6, iMovie, Premiere Pro CS6/CC, Sony Vegas Pro 16, Avid Media Composer, etc.

You can even connect multiple duplicators together via SDI and RS‑422 for even longer recordings! Blackmagic Duplicator 4K also features a standard realtime encoder for the older H.264 format. Even though H.265 is quickly gaining popularity, H.264 is still the world’s most common format for HD playback on big screen televisions and for web delivery.

Although H.264 files are a bit larger and less efficient than H.265, it’s a format that’s compatible with billions of devices ranging from big screen televisions to web browsers and even mobile phones. With Blackmagic Duplicator 4K you have the option to choose the encoding format that works best for you!

The Blackmagic Duplicator 4K can encode video using the latest H.265, which is the new standard for Ultra HD delivery! You get realtime hardware encoding for incredible looking Ultra HD video, even at high frame rates up to 2160p60. The files are small, the image quality is incredible and the data rates are low enough to play back from standard SD card media!

You can even play back Ultra HD 2160p60, which is 4 times the size of regular HD and twice the frame rate! Now you can deliver dramatically better looking video to your customers using small and affordable SD cards! Deliver Ultra HD Customers can view recordings on their 4K TVs!With 4x the resolution of regular HD, Ultra HD is the future of television! With estimates that over 80% of televisions sold worldwide are Ultra HD, that means Ultra HD is here now. The promise of Ultra HD is stunning, crystal clear images that have much better color and far more detail than regular HD. Until now, there’s been no way to deliver high quality 4K to consumer televisions.

The Blackmagic Duplicator 4K lets you deliver Ultra HD content directly to your customers that they can play on their Ultra HD televisions today! Compact Design Everything you need to encode, duplicate and sell content at live events!The Blackmagic Duplicator 4K features a realtime encoder for H.264 and H.265, along with 25 SD card recorders that are miniaturized into a single rack unit design! The machined metal design is durable, lightweight and small enough to take anywhere.

That means you can duplicate content right where you’re recording and selling it! You get an attractive LCD display for status, professional broadcast connections such as 12G-SDI with loop through and RS-422 deck control so you can connect multiple units together and record more cards at the same time. Work Solo Automatically trigger recording from your camera!Working with multiple cameras and a live production switcher is very fast and creative, however many events only require a single camera and operator. If you’re working alone, you can still produce multiple copies and sell content faster than ever before! Simply plug the SDI output from your camera into the duplicator, start shooting and the Blackmagic Duplicator 4K will automatically start encoding and making copies. The Blackmagic Duplicator 4K recognizes the SDI start/stop commands from the camera so it automatically starts and stops recording whenever you start and stop the camera! For larger events, you can connect multiple Blackmagic Duplicator 4Ks together and record an unlimited number of copies, all at the same time!

Simply loop the RS-422 deck control and SDI video to multiple duplicators, then start recording on the first one. When you push a button on the front panel of the first unit, it sends the command out via the RS-422 remote and into all of the connected units so they all start recording simultaneously! You can set up a road case with enough duplicators to handle massive events and because the cards are re-usable, you never have to worry about wasting media because you can simply record over them again later! There’s no better way to deliver content than with super small, high speed SD cards! SD cards are readily available, affordable and are compatible with computers and TVs!

Plus, when it comes to packaging content quickly, they’re easy to label and put into attractive, presentable wallets that look great at point of sale. The Blackmagic Duplicator 4K records using H.264 or H.265, so you can easily fit a one hour Ultra HD program onto an inexpensive 8GB SD card. Best of all, the cards can be re-used, so the extras can be recorded over and used again at your next event! Ultra HD Distribution No proprietary players needed!The Blackmagic Duplicator 4K records video in an open file format using H.265, which is the new standard for Ultra HD delivery. For maximum compatibility with existing HD televisions and some computers, you can also choose to record using H.264. SD cards can contain SD, HD or Ultra HD video and work with both Mac and Windows computers.

You can even use a USB adapter to plug them directly into your Ultra HD television set! Unlike proprietary disc based formats, like Blu-Ray, you don’t have to buy a slow and expensive player. The Blackmagic Duplicator 4K is the easiest, most compatible and cost effective way to distribute Ultra HD content today!

Hi thereWhen I connect up to the H.264 Pro Recorder, I cannot enter the BM Desktop Video Utility.When I attempt to access the Desktop Utility when plugged into the H264 Pro Recorder, it tells me that no device has been detected.Is that the way it is meant to be?I have just updated to version 10.4.2. I remember in an earlier version (10.3.9, or something like that) that I could access the settings.The Desktop Utility is meant to be the 'central location for configuring hardware settings, plus a realtime status display showing the video connected to your hardware's inputs and outputs.' I see all that when I connect up to BM's Ultra Studio Express (T/Bolt), but not with BM's H.264 Pro Recorder.CheersMig. Hello Miggy,Sorry for the confusion. What you see is to be expected.As the H.264 Pro Recorder auto detects input, it does not utilize the applesystem preferencesblackmagic options.

Since our DeckLink and UltraStudio capture/playback solutions also use the same Desktop Video driver and do use the Desktop Video Utility, this is why it's bundled in with the H.264 Pro Recorder.So as long as the H.264 Pro Recorder is working in Media Express, then it is functioning the way it was intended.I hope this clears things up. Albert, it does clear things up nicely. Much appreciated.I am a little confused about the 'native' and 'native (progessive)' options presented when opening up the Media Express Preferences panel.I often use an HDMI input into the H264. If I want to produce progressive files, should I choose the 'native(progressive)' option? It is confusing me as I thought the H264 Pro Recorder simply pumped out progressive files. Does having the 'native' and 'native (progressive)' options imply that the H264 can produce interlaced files on output?Again thanks for your help.Colin, cheers for your piece of wisdom.

Appreciate all the info I get from regular users. Would love to hear your advice on my last remaining issue/cobfusion with the H264. It's only been a year since Miggy's last post, but I am wondering if you've ever received an answer about the Native 'interlaced' question? It's strange because the Media Express manual does not even show the 'Native' (non-progressive) Video Format as an option, but that is at the top of the list in the Project Video Format in my version.I have stumbled on your post because I discovered a strange phenomenon when capturing 'Native' (non-progressive) via the H.264 Pro Recorder. The captured files play back properly in QuickTime, and the QT info lists all of the expected file properties, but when I bring them into Premiere Pro CC 2015 they do NOT playback properly! The audio will be correct, but there will be a strange frames-per-second parameter (14.98i UFF) applied to the video causing it to playback in a slow-motion-like, sporadic way!!

Totally un-useable.I guess I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this?!?!?All of the other Video Formats in Media Express behave normally and as expected.
