History
Blackmagic Design was founded in 2001 by Grant Petty.[2] Its first product, DeckLink, introduced in 2002, was a video capture card for macOS that supported uncompressed 10-bit video, marking a shift toward professional-grade yet affordable video workflows.[3][4] Subsequent versions—including the DeckLink 2, Pro SDI, HD Plus, and Multibridge—added capabilities such as color correction, Windows support, and compatibility with major editing software like Adobe Premiere Pro, to broaden the product's appeal.[5][6][7]
At the 2012 NAB Show, Blackmagic announced its first Cinema Camera, a digital movie camera.[8]
Blackmagic made several acquisitions over the next decade. In 2009, it acquired da Vinci Systems, known for its color-grading tools.[9] In 2010, it acquired Echolab's ATEM switcher line,[10] in 2014, it added eyeon Software (developer of the Blackmagic Fusion compositing software)[11] and London's Cintel (film scanning and restoration),[12] and in 2016, it acquired Fairlight, an audio technology company known for its mixing consoles.[13][14]
