Logical and simple to operate, Ultimatte DV offers the user unrivalled control over the matte parameters. Via a single monitor connection, the operator can quickly compare the input, the matte and the composite output. Internally generated test signals ensure the highest quality output is maintained. An internal frame store allows non synchronous signals to be combined (a big advantage as many DV cameras do not have genlock) and also enables the user to store a background frame in memory. The unit will also function as a transcoder enabling the user to convert between video formats. On location it can be used as a pre-visualization tool, enabling the director and crew to evaluate the final composite, rather than seeing just the camera feed on a preview monitor. Combined with Reflecmedia's products, Ultimatte DV provides the perfect chromakey solution for independent production companies, education users and budget conscious programme makers.
