Intensity comes in two models so you can choose which one is better for your needs. If you're looking for incredible HDMI and analog component, NTSC, PAL and S-Video capture and playback, then the new Intensity Pro card is perfect. If you don't need analog connections, then the HDMI only Intensity model is perfect.

Intensity features HDMI-in for connecting to cameras and digital set-top boxes for the highest quality capture. Get higher quality capture from HD cameras by capturing direct and bypassing the HDV compression chip for high quality video captured direct from the image sensor. As edit software can't play back to HDV cameras for monitoring, Intensity is ideal to use for monitoring uncompressed HD or HDV, and even DV edits on the latest big screen televisions and video projectors by connecting to the built-in HDMI out

HDV video compression suffers from not being full 1920 HD resolution, and the extra processing required makes editing difficult. With Intensity, you can now capture and play back full resolution HDTV uncompressed video for true broadcast and feature film quality editing. Totally eliminate HDV & DV compression quality problems, and render much cleaner graphics while retaining deeper color and image detail. If you need lower data rate editing, you can also select from a range of professional compressed video capture modes. Intensity includes the same Blackmagic Design video technology used on Hollywood feature films, so quality won’t limit your creativity.

Experience the incredible excitement of filming events live. Included with Intensity is Blackmagic On-Air 2.0, which allows two Intensity boards to be plugged into Apple™ Mac Pro systems for live mixing between two HD or SD cameras. On-Air includes everything you need for a live production studio including camera monitoring, program monitoring, graphic keying and recording to disk. Cameras auto sync, so you don't even need expensive genlock featured cameras as any HDV camera with HDMI-out will do. Full resolution live HD production is ideal for weddings, education, corporate production and more. HD has never been so affordable!

Plug into Windows™ or Mac OS X™ computers with the same card, and use your favorite software, including Final Cut Pro™, Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, Fusion™ and many more. Intensity is fully DirectShow™ and QuickTime™ compatible, which adds HDMI capture and playback ability to your computer.
