Capture Direct For Your Mobile Device

To make capture easy, simply select the device you want to capture for. The Video Recorder software will automatically set the size and quality for you! If you're using a custom device, then just enter the resolution and data rate you need for your media files, and Video Recorder SDI will take care of all scaling.

Easy Cropping Tools

Sometimes SDI video sources suffer from analog blanking, VITC, letterboxing or other unwanted artifacts. Video Recorder software allows easy adjustment of cropping to make perfectly clean media files. Simply slide the cropping tool along until any artifacts are removed. This means all your captured media will be pixel perfect without annoying black lines at the edges.

Deck Control with Timecode

For recording media automatically, you can set your deck in and out points, and the Video Recorder software will capture only the exact content you need from tape. You can also manually control your broadcast deck remotely, which is great when your deck might be far away from your computer!

Simple Software

Blackmagic Video Recorder comes with simple and easy to use software. The interface is versatile in its design with all the configurations you need to make great movies. It can even send them direct to your iTunes™!
