Blackmagic Media Express

3D Capture

When Media Express is used with a Blackmagic video hardware model which supports dual-stream 3D,

you can create left and right eye 3D video clips by capturing 2 streams of HD-SDI video simultaneously.

• Create a 3D project which matches the frame rate of your dual stream 3D video source.

• Ensure you have 2 discrete HD-SDI video inputs to the Blackmagic video hardware.

• Capture.

When capturing and logging dual stream 3D in Media Express, the clip name will be applied to the left eye video.

The right eye video will be appended with ‘_right’ text. For example, if you name the stereo clip “Clip 1”, the

left eye clip will be called “Clip 1.mov” and the right eye clip will be called “Clip 1_right.mov”.

The Media List presents an eye-catching indication that the captured clip is a 3D clip:

• In Thumbnail view, the left and right eye clips are connected by a 3D indicator and presented as a

single, large icon.

• In Timecode List view, the left and right eye clips are listed on two lines and linked together by a 3D

indicator.
