Blackmagic Design

Blackmagic Design provides software and hardware for professional filmmaking, post-production, and broadcast workflows—covering editing, color, live audio mixing, live video switching, recording, and IP video distribution.

For creative post-production, DaVinci Resolve is a core part of the lineup, including the DaVinci Resolve 21.1 major update with AI assistant integration. It also expands still photography support and adds 100+ new tools and controls aimed at editors and colorists. A free download is available for DaVinci Resolve 21.1.

For live broadcast and immersive workflows, Fairlight Live is a software-based live audio mixer built for SMPTE-2110 and immersive audio environments. Fairlight Live is available as a free download, and there is also a dedicated Fairlight Live Audio Panel option.

For live production switching, ATEM production switchers are designed for broadcast workflows and IP environments, including the ATEM 4 M/E Constellation IP with native SMPTE-2110 100G Ethernet and support for up to 64 inputs and outputs. The broader ecosystem also includes capture/playback devices (UltraStudio series), media recording (HyperDeck ISO Recorder 100G), network storage options (Blackmagic Cloud Store Ultra, Blackmagic Media Dock Ultra), and SDI-to-IP bridging like the Blackmagic SDI Expander 8x12G. Pricing varies by product and is shown on individual product introductions (for example: UltraStudio Express 3G from $179, Fairlight Live Audio Panel from $2,415, and certain recorders/storage options starting at listed prices).
