Instruction manual

Welcome to Blackmagic UltraScope!
We hope you share our dream for the television industry to become a truly creative industry by
allowing anyone to have access to the highest quality video.
Previously broadcast quality television and post production scopes were incredibly expensive custom
solutions that only let you see one scope at a time on a tiny screen! Some scopes look ugly and don’t
really look good in front of your client. With Blackmagic UltraScope, you get 6 wonderful scopes that
let you see all aspects of your video signals while you edit, color correct and perform quality control
checks on your broadcast masters!
Now with new Pocket UltraScope you get the incredible features of UltraScope with a USB 3.0
connection so you can take it anywhere, making it perfect for location shoots! Pocket UltraScope is
incredibly easy and fast to install, simply connect the USB 3.0 cable into your compatible computer
and an SDI cable to your deck or camera and away you go!
This instruction manual should contain all the information you’ll need for installing your Blackmagic
UltraScope, although it’s always a good idea to ask a technical assistant for help if you have not
installed hardware cards into computers before. We think it should take you approximately 10 minutes
to complete installation. As Blackmagic UltraScope uses your computer’s 3D acceleration, you will
need a compatible graphics card. More information on compatible graphics and computer systems
can be found at www.blackmagicdesign.com/support/
Before you install UltraScope, please check our website at www.blackmagicdesign.com and click
the support page to download the latest updates to this manual and the UltraScope software.
Lastly, please register your UltraScope when downloading software updates. We would love to keep
you updated on new software updates and new features for your UltraScope.
We are constantly working on new features and improvements, so we would love to hear from you!
