(Las Vegas NAB Booth Booth SL6020, NV—April 13, 2010) Blackmagic Design today announced H.264 Pro Recorder, a new real time H.264 encoder that connects to computers via USB and allows real time capture of SD or HD video directly to H.264 files from SDI, HDMI and component analog video with balanced audio for only $349.

With so many new ways for consumers to watch video content, such as iPhones, web, iPad and more, there is a need for a simple, low cost way to move content from the video world to the computer world in H.264 format.

It works on Windows and Mac systems, and includes Media Express for easy frame accurate capture using the built in RS422 deck control connection. H.264 Pro Recorder supports capture in both HD and SD video formats, while SDI, HDMI and analog component connections can all be switched between formats.

"Now its easy to capture incredible broadcast quality video into H.264 files, and because it's a complete solution for capture, it's both affordable and simple to use!", said Grant Petty, CEO, Blackmagic Design.
