Blackmagic Design Media Player 10G Recorder

The Blackmagic Media Player 10G is a high-performance capture and playout solution engineered for Thunderbolt-equipped computers, offering seamless integration with live production switchers and broadcast environments. Featuring dual 12G-SDI outputs supporting independent fill and key with RGBA and YUVA frame buffers, it enables precise overlay of broadcast graphics with 10-bit color depth. The 12G-SDI input ensures high-fidelity real-time video capture with ultra-low latency, supporting formats from SD to Ultra HD 2160p60. The Thunderbolt 3 interface provides bidirectional data transfer, allowing simultaneous capture and playout, while also delivering power to connected laptops. The dedicated HDMI and 12G-SDI monitoring outputs ensure accurate real-time playback, making it an essential tool for professional broadcast and post-production applications.

Equipped with a high-speed 10G Ethernet interface, the Blackmagic Media Player 10G allows direct access to shared network storage without the need for additional adapters. This ultra-fast connection supports multiple video streams simultaneously, critical for live replay and multi-source editing in DaVinci Resolve 19. It also features RS-422 deck control for broadcast automation, ensuring compatibility with professional workflows. Supporting a wide range of resolutions and frame rates, including 2160p60, 1080p60, 2K DCI, and 4K DCI, the device handles ProRes, DNxHD, and 10-bit uncompressed formats for maximum image fidelity. Whether used in a control room or on location, its compact design allows for desktop placement or rack-mounting using the Blackmagic Universal Rack Shelf, delivering the ultimate flexibility in a professional video workflow.
