Blackmagic 2K Format
–
Overview
Blackmagic
Design
products
support
3G-SDI
video,
which
allows
twice
the
data
rate
of
traditional
HD-SDI
video.
We
thought
it
would
be
a
really
nice
idea
to
add
2K
film
support,
via
3G-SDI
technology,
so
we
could
simplify
feature
film
workflows.
With
the
popularity
of
Blackmagic
Design
editing
systems
worldwide,
now
thousands
of
people
can
benefit
from
a
feature
film
workflow
revolution.
