Its dual 12G-SDI outputs can be switched to fill and key, which turns a laptop into a graphics source for a production switcher. It draws power from the Thunderbolt cable, so there is no external supply to carry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIt exists so an editor or graphics operator can put a real broadcast signal out of a laptop without a rack.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the output only model in the UltraStudio Mini 12G family. It plays back from editing, grading and graphics software over a single Thunderbolt 4 connection, and the multi rate SDI link switches itself between SD, HD, 2K, Ultra HD and 4K to match whatever the timeline is running.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fill and key pair is the part that matters for live work. Feed it a graphic with an alpha channel and the hardware converts that alpha into a key signal on the second SDI output automatically, ready for a switcher downstream keyer. Internally there is hardware support for both RGBA and YUVA frame buffers, so transparency survives the trip out of the computer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAt a Glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlackmagic Design\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUltraStudio Mini Monitor 12G\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eType\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVideo playback device, output only\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eComputer Interface\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThunderbolt 4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVideo Outputs\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 x 12G-SDI, 1 x HDMI 2.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaximum Format\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2160p60 Ultra HD, 4Kp60 DCI\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFill and Key\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes, on the dual 12G-SDI outputs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePower\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePowered by the Thunderbolt cable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSKU \/ MPN\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBMD-BDLKULSDZMINMON12G\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWarranty\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFull Blackmagic Design manufacturer warranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAvailability\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpecial order, brought in after purchase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Connections Does the UltraStudio Mini Monitor 12G Have?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo multi rate 12G-SDI outputs that also serve as a fill and key pair, one HDMI 2.0 output, and a Thunderbolt 4 port to the computer.
