Blackmagic Design has announced UltraStudio Express 3G, new capture and playback models that replace the older Thunderbolt based UltraStudio Monitor 3G and Recorder 3G. The new models are designed for high-quality broadcast use in all SD and HD video standards up to 1080p60. They have a wider compatibility with Mac, Windows and Linux computers that have USB4 or Thunderbolt 4 connections.

The family includes two models: the UltraStudio Express Monitor 3G plays back to 3G-SDI and HDMI and the UltraStudio Express Recorder 3G captures from 3G-SDI and HDMI. The UltraStudio Express 3G family are pocket-sized and powered by their USB connection, allowing them to draw power from a computer battery.

The UltraStudio Express Recorder 3G is an input-only model and captures from 3G-SDI and HDMI in SD and HD. It’s perfect for live streaming using software such as Open Broadcaster, as well as archiving from old broadcast decks into popular edit software or the free included Media Express software. You can even record from game consoles!

The UltraStudio Express Monitor 3G is an output only model, and plays back to 3G-SDI and HDMI in SD and HD. It can be used for monitoring playback from popular edit software such as DaVinci Resolve. UltraStudio Express Monitor 3G and UltraStudio Express Recorder 3G are available now from Blackmagic Design resellers worldwide for US$175.00, excluding local duties and taxes.
