Using Blackmagic UltraScope for Waveform Monitoring

With the Teranex 2D and 3D Processors, you get the incredible features of Blackmagic UltraScope which

you can even use with compatible Mac OS X and Windows notebook computers using Thunderbolt

technology! Blackmagic UltraScope software is installed by the Teranex Processor Installer.

Blackmagic UltraScope is perfect for quality control checks of your converted output no matter which

SDI, HDMI, component analog or composite analog video input you use. Simply connect a Thunderbolt

cable between your Teranex Processor and your computer and launch Blackmagic UltraScope!

Installation Requirements

The Blackmagic UltraScope software interface requires a computer display with a minimum resolution

of 1280 x 800 pixels to view two scopes simultaneously. Blackmagic Design recommends viewing all

6 scopes simultaneously by using a computer display resolution of 1920 x 1200 or 1920 x 1080 pixels.

Please see the support pages at www.blackmagicdesign.com for a comprehensive list of the latest

minimum system requirements for Blackmagic UltraScope.

Understanding Blackmagic UltraScope Views

Blackmagic UltraScope has two different views available depending on your workflow needs and screen

resolution. You have the choice of viewing six displays in “Full Screen” view, or for more compact viewing,

choose any 2 displays in “2-up” view.

The display view can be selected from the

View menu.

Choose

Full Screen to enter Full Screen view. If this option is unchecked, 2-up view will be displayed.

You can quickly switch between Full Screen view and 2-up view by using the hot key CMD-F on Mac OS X.

In 2-up view, select the desired left and right scopes by opening the View menu or by right-clicking anywhere

in the UltraScope window. Make your selections from the Left View and Right View menu options.

If you want the scopes to swap sides, select the left or right view and set it to be the same as the other

view. The scopes will swap sides because the 2-up view never displays the same scope in both the left

and right views.

Screen Resolution Requirements for Display Views

 Full Screen view: 1920 x 1200 pixels or 1920 x 1080 pixels. If your monitor doesn’t support

these resolutions, then Full Screen view will not be available.

 2-up view: minimum resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels.
