 Date: Tue Jun 14 2005
June 14, 2005 - Serious Magic, Inc. is now shipping ULTRA 2, the new version of its professional keying software. A recent winner of TV Technology's Best of NAB award, ULTRA 2 is unique in the professional video market for offering flexible keying features that enable users to be more productive, work faster and achieve better quality results. Features include support for higher-resolution cameras while delivering GPU-based rendering, components that help users achieve even more realistic keys, and input and output options to further its compatibility with other software.

ULTRA 2 is available at www.SeriousMagic.com and through video resellers nationwide at a new price of $495. For upgrade pricing, a list of video resellers, and other information, go to www.SeriousMagic.com.

ULTRA 2 supports HD and HDV cameras including 1080i, 1080p, and 720p with support for a variety of standard frame rates including 24 fps. With ULTRA 2's Plus 90 mode, standard definition cameras can be used for high-resolution output. Complex compositing can be conducted in real time at HD-resolution and faster than real-time at standard definition by shifting rendering demands to the GPU. Realistic shadows, reflections, and masking options are provided to deliver superb keying results from difficult-to-key shots. Finally, ULTRA 2 expands its input and output options to make it more versatile when working with 2D compositing and 3D animation applications.
