Media Player 10G

NOW YOU CAN USE DAVINCI RESOLVE 19 AS A MEDIA PLAYER AND REPLAY SOLUTION
Blackmagic Media Player is a capture and playback solution for Thunderbolt computers that are specifically designed for playout to live production switchers or large broadcast systems. However it does much more than just video in and out because you also get 10G Ethernet and power to your computer! You get dual 12G-SDI outputs for fill and key playback 12G-SDI capture and 10G Ethernet for accessing network storage and laptop power over a single Thunderbolt connection! There is also an independent Thunderbolt connection on the front so you can simply walk up and plug in your laptop! It also supports full DeckLink API features so most video software will just work!

GET NEWS EDITING AND REPLAY IN DAVINCI RESOLVE 19
The DaVinci Resolve 19 cut page has an exciting new media player editing and replay features. DaVinci Resolve handles common video file formats so you can play any files your client gives you! For broadcast graphics DaVinci Resolve 19 can play video files that have an alpha channel and they will be output as a 10-bit SDI fill and key. Plus the new multi-source viewer allows visual media browsing then any clips that match in time will be displayed in a multiview. New on air controls allow the key output to enable the downstream keyer in a switcher so a single button can automate the playout to air. DaVinci can even add an automatic stinger! It's the perfect solution for news and replay!

ELEGANT DESIGN WITH BROADCAST FEATURES
Blackmagic Media Player includes everything you need for broadcast playback! Place it on the desktop or it can be rack mounted using a Blackmagic Universal Rack Shelf. The front panel has an LCD with video audio meter status information that includes input video standard and the depth of the record/playback frame buffer. The audio meter can also be changed between VU and PPM. There's also a headphone socket speaker and a speaker enable button! To lock the speaker on just double press the speaker enable button! If Blackmagic Media Player is mounted in a control room then the front Thunderbolt connection lets you walk up and plug your computer right into the front of the rack!

EXTREMELY FAST THUNDERBOLT CONNECTION
Blackmagic Media Player includes fast Thunderbolt with video capture and playback as well as 10G Ethernet and laptop power all over a single cable! There are Thunderbolt connections on both the front and rear panels so you can connect either rack mount or laptop computers. With Thunderbolt you get lots of speed to handle large 4:4:4:4 and 4:2:2:4 files with alpha channels in all SD HD and Ultra HD video standards up to 2160p60. Blackmagic Media Player uses the DeckLink API so almost all video software works. Plus the Thunderbolt link is bidirectional so you can capture process and output video in real-time! Now you can use computers as a graphics processing engine!

CONNECTIONS FOR REPLAY MONITORING AND EXTENDED DESKTOP
The Blackmagic Media Player has lots of connections for monitoring extended desktop and fast networking. All with a single Thunderbolt connection! The program fill and key outputs can be muted so the video won't key on a switcher until the replay has started. Then the dedicated 12G-SDI and HDMI monitoring outputs are always active so you can set up the next replay. There's even balanced audio out for powered speakers. 12G-SDI video in allows live input monitoring of the switcher multiview for replay. Plus the 10G Ethernet provides fast access to shared storage for accessing ISO video files. There's even an extended desktop for the DaVinci UI. Plus a USB expansion for a keyboard and mouse.

SUPPORTS INDEPENDENT FILL AND KEY OUTPUTS
With dual 12G-SDI video outputs Blackmagic Media Player can connect to live production switchers so broadcast graphics can be overlaid with transparency. Internally there's hardware support for both RGBA and YUVA frame buffers. With RGBA graphics the Blackmagic Media Player will automatically transcode the RGB pixels to 10-bit YUV on the fill output and the alpha channel to the 10-bit key output. The two SDI outputs are then connected to a live production switcher where they can be keyed over video. The key output ensures you get smooth blending of the transparent elements in the images. This all means that Blackmagic Media Player is ideal for broadcast graphics and stingers!

SIMULTANEOUS CAPTURE AND PLAYBACK
Blackmagic Media Player uses the same Desktop Video software that's used in our popular DeckLink and UltraStudio capture and playback solutions. This driver supports simultaneous real-time bidirectional transfer of video data to and from the computer. Plus the latency is extremely low. What this means is you can capture image data into the computer from the SDI input while at the same time sending image data from the computer to the SDI outputs. This lets you create some amazing solutions where the computer is a processing engine. Imagine using the computer as a keyer or generating broadcast graphics over the live input! Or even exciting new AI based processing overlaid on live video!

HIGH-SPEED ETHERNET FOR NETWORK STORAGE ACCESS
The high-speed 10G Ethernet port means that the Blackmagic Media Player gives you access to network storage when your computer is connected to the Thunderbolt port. This means you don't need extra Ethernet adapters as you get video and network with a single cable. 10G Ethernet is 10 times faster than regular Ethernet so you get enough speed for lots of video streams common when doing replay work. The 10G Ethernet port also features very low latency for fast access times. Plus Blackmagic Cloud Stores have 10G Ethernet which means you get the speed to access shared media and ISO recordings so you can have multiple editors all working together in DaVinci Resolve.

GET TRUE 10???BIT BROADCAST VIDEO QUALITY
Blackmagic Media Player is designed to support the highest quality video. You get support for capture and playback to popular video formats such as Apple ProRes DNxHD or even 10-bit uncompressed so you’re never locked into a single file format. 10-bit is the most commonly used television standard as colours can be represented with 4 times the precision of 8-bit video. Only working with 10-bit uncompressed video will ensure all images are a perfect pixel for pixel clone of the original source so you’re always working at the absolute highest quality possible. This means you get the sharpest green screen keying seamless VFX compositions and superior colour correction!

TRADITIONAL RS-422 FOR BROADCAST AUTOMATION CONTROL
The most popular control connection used on broadcast decks since the early 1980s is the RS-422 protocol. Originally developed by Sony RS-422 is used on almost all broadcast gear. Blackmagic Media Player features an RS-422 deck control input connection so you can remotely control software that supports the remote port using broadcast automation systems. The connection also supports extra commands for the Advanced Media Protocol for managing disk recorders. It's easy to use RS-422 and we even include documentation of the supported remote control commands in the Blackmagic Media Player instruction manual which you can download from the support page of our website.
