The NAB Interviews: Blackmagic设计's Stuart Ashton on the ATEM Production Studio 4k

肖恩林: It’s 肖恩林 for 流媒体 Producer, we’re here at NAB 2013 at the Blackmagic设计 展位. 我和黑魔法的斯图尔特·阿什顿在一起. A bit earlier they had their press conference, they did it again they shocked us. 他们推出了许多新产品. 我们将在这里触及其中的一些. The first one is the ATEM Production Studio 4K (below). 给我们介绍一下这种产品.

超高清和6Gb SDI

斯图亚特·阿什顿: One of the things that is a big theme for us this year is there’s three distinct areas: the first being UltraHD and 6 Gb-SDI and obviously some camera news, 当然还有我们的达芬奇决心新闻. What’s exceptional about Ultra 4K is that we’re talking about a resolution that is four times the size of HD. So UltraHD is basically been seen a lot through some of the new palm-held manufacturers. So at CES earlier on this year, we saw a number of UltraHD screens. People are starting to ask us, what about broadcasting? 交货呢?? What are we going to do with regards to actually getting our content together and actually distributing it? We’ve been working quite intensely with other manufacturers to use the standard 6 Gb-SDI.

尚伟: 跟我们说说那个标准. 这是一个在6g SDI上工作的实时视频切换器. 对于不知情的人来说，那是什么?

史都尔: Well what 6 Gb-SDI is it looks identical to current SDI except it’s four times the bandwidth. If you’re working in a 4k resolution there’s no need now to have four independent SDI cables or dual-link SDI cables at 3Gb each. You can now use a single SDI cable, which is 6Gb bandwidth. What’s also nice about that is it also gives you the ability to be able to pull HD and SD video down it, which means you’re not only limiting yourself to one resolution tie. That means that when you’re working in a professional environment, 广播环境, 你需要那些长距离, 你需要一根更结实的电缆, that’s where SDI really has always been prominent in the marketplace. 但是我认为很明显.4 HDMI is also important too because we can now obviously deliver our outputs to monitors, which are relatively inexpensive compared to some of the other monitors out there today.

I/O

尚伟: 告诉我们一点关于上面的I/ o.

史都尔: All of our products now which are in the 4k range, we’ve actually incorporated 6Gb-SDI. And that’s the same exactly for the ATEM Production, which are 4k. 这是一个8通道的生产切换器. It’s got four HDMI inputs and it’s got four SDI inputs. 这四个SDI输入都是6Gb-SDI. What’s nice about this unit is that this integrates perfectly with our HyperDeck Studio Pro. 它与我们的Ultra Studio 4k完美配合. 它与我们全新的音频监视器配合使用. 它也很好地与我们的新工作室转换器. But also what’s important is it works with our new camera, 这是我们的黑魔法电影制作摄像机4k.
