The perfect choice for solutions that demand the highest uncompromised quality output with customisable and independent professional broadcast monitoring for HD and SD SDI.

The HD | Iridium XP is for digital artists, editors and colourists requiring a flexible 10 bit uncompressed Dual Link and Single Link multi format output solution.

10 bit RGB 4:4:4.
HD | Iridium XP supports real time output of full bandwidth uncompressed SDTV and HDTV video supporting 10 bit RGB 4:4:4 and 8 bit RGB 4:4:4:4, 10 bit and 8 bit YUV 4:2:2data streams.

Working in uncompressed 10 bit RGB 4:4:4 and 8 bit RGB 4:4:4:4 internal processing keeps the integrity of images and retains colour integrity in Standard Definition and High Definition modes compared to 8 bit based Video solutions. 10 bit provides 1024 levels of colour compared to 8 bit solutions that provide only 256 levels of colour.

HD to SD down conversion.
With the innovative HD-SDI to SD-SDI broadcast quality down converter feature, the HD | Iridium XP allows simultaneous preview of HD material on an HD-SDI monitor and an SD-SDI monitor from the dedicated SD-SDI video output, even while in Dual Link 4:4:4
mode.

Alternatively the HD | Iridium XP can be used to master to SD and HD decks simultaneously using the HD data stream or used as an SD-SDI monitoring alternative to expensive HD-SDI monitors.

HD down conversion is performed in hardware while in HD modes, avoiding low quality software conversions and without the need for a second SD card. This feature is application independent allowing all applications to take advantage of HD to SD down conversion.

Note the OEM HD|Iridium HD|SD card is identical to the HD|IridiumXP card but without the HD to SD downconversion featue.

Professional Broadcast Genlock.
The HD | Iridium XP has full genlocking capability. The output circuits are fully decoupled from the input circuits for unconditionally stable video outputs - even during capture where the card performs as a synchroniser. SDI Outputs meet SMPTE specs (including jitter) at all times with or without Bi level or Tri level genlock.

Large range of application support.
Bluefish444 SD and HD video cards is the most developed and supported solution in the market place today. No longer are you restricted to just one or two software applications.
With a Bluefish444 turnkey or integrated solution you have a broad range of choice covering all the major compositing tools, editing solutions, DDR's, video servers, clip players, CG generators, multi format capture and playback tools, encoders and video stream solutions.

Symmetry.
Included with HD | Iridium XPe is Symmetry™, a 10-bit RGB/YUV sequential capture and playback station for Windows. Supported file formats are sequential 10-bit RGB Cineon, DPX and 10-bit YUV QuickTime™.

Symmetry’s™ use of industry standard file formats ensures that a digital artist can work with a consistent file format throughout the production workflow, not requiring file format conversions, reducing rendering times to zero. Digital content created from Nuke™, Mirage, After Effects™, Digital Fusion™ or Combustion™, etc can be moved seamlessly to high end finishing systems such as Discreet, Nucoda or Da Vinci.
