<strong>Blackmagic</strong> UltraScope<br />

What is <strong>Blackmagic</strong> UltraScope<br />

Now with <strong>ATEM</strong> Production Switchers, you get the incredible features of <strong>Blackmagic</strong> UltraScope with a<br />

USB 3.0 connection which you can even use with compatible Windows notebook computers! <strong>Blackmagic</strong><br />

UltraScope software is installed by the <strong>Blackmagic</strong> <strong>ATEM</strong> Switchers Installer on Windows computers.<br />

Previously broadcast quality television and post production scopes were incredibly expensive custom<br />

solutions that only let you see one scope at a time on a tiny screen! Some scopes look ugly and don’t really<br />

look good in front of your client. With <strong>Blackmagic</strong> UltraScope, you get 6 wonderful scopes that let you see<br />

all aspects of your video signals which is perfect for checking levels on cameras and other video sources<br />

that are connected to your <strong>ATEM</strong> Production Switcher during live production. Any adjustments made to the<br />

video source can immediately be seen with <strong>Blackmagic</strong> UltraScope!<br />

<strong>Blackmagic</strong> UltraScope software provides waveform monitoring of the Aux 1 output of your <strong>ATEM</strong><br />

Production Switcher. Anything that gets routed to Aux 1 is also available on USB 3.0. Simply connect a USB 3.0<br />

cable between your compatible Windows computer and an <strong>ATEM</strong> Production Switcher and away you go!<br />

Installation Requirements for Windows<br />

<strong>ATEM</strong> Production Switchers connect via USB 3.0. Older computers only have USB 2.0 ports and it is essential<br />

that your <strong>ATEM</strong> Production Switcher directly connects to a dedicated USB 3.0 port.<br />

In desktop computers, a x16 lane PCI Express 2.0 slot is required for the graphics card in your computer.<br />

The latest list of compatible graphics cards can be found in the support pages at www.blackmagic-design.<br />

com. Full frame-rate HD monitoring of all 6 scopes requires either an Nvidia GeForce 9800 GT or faster,<br />

or an ATI Radeon 4670 or faster graphics card. Suitable graphics cards can be purchased for less than<br />

US$100. More expensive graphics cards are no guarantee of compatibility. It is essential to check the list of<br />

compatible graphics cards before buying a graphics card for use with <strong>Blackmagic</strong> UltraScope. If you launch<br />

the <strong>Blackmagic</strong> UltraScope application with an incompatible graphics card installed, you may encounter<br />

an error message similar to that pictured on this page. The solution is to replace the graphics card with a<br />

compatible graphics card.<br />

Please see the support pages at www.blackmagic-design.com for a comprehensive list of the latest,<br />

minimum system requirements for <strong>Blackmagic</strong> UltraScope for Windows.<br />

Before connecting <strong>Blackmagic</strong> Design USB 3.0 hardware to your computer<br />

It is very important you have installed the latest USB 3.0 software drivers and firmware for your computer<br />

before installing your <strong>Blackmagic</strong> Design hardware. Please visit the computer vendor’s website.
