Advanced 3 Gb/s SDI Technology
With the exciting new 3 Gb/s SDI connections built in, Multibridge Pro allows twice the SDI data rate than normal HD-SDI. Use 3 Gb/s SDI for 4:4:4 HD with a single BNC connection, or use Blackmagic Design's new 2K via SDI for high resolution real time 2048 x 1556 feature film editing. Only 3 Gb/s SDI technology provides full compatibility with SD, HD and 2K, in 4:4:4 or 4:2:2, all with a single BNC cable.

World's Highest Quality

Multibridge Pro features incredible quality Dual Link 4:4:4 SDI and Single Link 4:2:2/4:4:4 SDI in 8 and 10 bit. Use Dual Link 4:4:4 for connecting to decks such as the Sony HDCAM SR.

Capture Gamma Tables

You can even customize lift, gain and gamma settings for each RGB channel, if you're simply color balancing input video. We also include Panasonic and Grass Valley Viper camera standard gamma tables, allowing instant setup when on the production set.
