System Requirements

Your computer requires at least 4GB of RAM to efficiently process video.

Mac OS

Blackmagic Desktop Video software runs on the latest versions of Mac OS.

Windows

Desktop Video runs exclusively on 64-bit versions of Windows 8 and 10 with the latest Windows updates installed.

Linux

Desktop Video runs on 64-bit x86 computers running Linux 2.6.23 or higher. Please refer to the release notes for the latest list of supported Linux distributions, package formats and software dependencies.

Connecting Power

If your Desktop Video hardware includes an external power supply, simply connect it to the unit and switch on the power.

TIP DeckLink 4K Extreme 12G can also be connected to additional power using the power adapter cable included with the card. DeckLink 4K Extreme 12G is very powerful and we are always looking for ways to provide additional features, such as mezzanine cards for expanded connectivity. For this purpose, we have included a power adapter cable so you can plug in additional power if future hardware expansion on your DeckLink card draws more power than your computer's PCIe slot can provide.

If you need to supply external power to your DeckLink 4K Extreme 12G you can easily use the supplied power adapter cable. Simply disconnect the power from your graphics card and plug it into the adapter cable. The plug will only connect to one end so there's no way to connect it incorrectly.

Connecting Video Hardware

There are three types of connectors your Blackmagic Desktop Video hardware may use to connect to your computer depending on your model. These connection types include Thunderbolt, USB 3.0, or PCIe.

Connecting via Thunderbolt

Blackmagic UltraStudio 4K and UltraStudio 4K Extreme feature two Thunderbolt* 2 ports so if your computer only has a single Thunderbolt port, you can use the additional port to attach a RAID or other device.

Blackmagic UltraStudio 4K Extreme 3 has two Thunderbolt™ 3 ports and UltraStudio HD Mini has one Thunderbolt 3 port, for up to 40Gb/s data speeds. When connecting via Thunderbolt 3, connect your Blackmagic Desktop Video hardware directly to the Thunderbolt 3 port on your computer using a Thunderbolt 3 cable. Connecting to a Thunderbolt 2 port on your computer via a Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 adapter is not supported on bus-powered products like UltraStudio HD Mini.

Connecting via PCIe

Blackmagic Design PCIe cards plug into a PCIe slot in your computer. Check the information printed on your card's box to determine the number of PCIe lanes your card requires. For example, depending on your PCIe card, it will require a x1, x4 or x8 PCIe slot.

It's worth noting that you can insert PCIe cards into higher capacity slots than they require. For example, a x4 lane PCIe card can be inserted into a x16 lane PCIe slot, though not the other way around.

If you can't find the information you need on the box, you can find the number of lanes your card requires, plus other helpful information about your card, in the tech specs at www.blackmagicdesign.com/products.

If your card includes a breakout cable, simply plug it into your card's breakout cable connector.

Connecting UltraStudio 4K Extreme via PCIe

UltraStudio 4K Extreme and UltraStudio 4K Extreme 3 can also connect to your computer via PCIe using a PCIe adapter card and cable. Both UltraStudio 4K Extreme and UltraStudio 4K Extreme 3 need to be connected to a PCIe Gen 2 slot in your computer. The Blackmagic PCIe Cable Kit contains a PCIe cable and the PCIe adapter card and is available from your nearest Blackmagic Design reseller.

For the original UltraStudio 4K Extreme, you can use either the Blackmagic PCIe Cable Kit, or purchase a standard PCIe adapter card from your nearest computer store.

Choose whether to output via single link, dual link or quad link for 3G, 6G and 12G-SDI video signals

8K Formats

8K video is played back via quad link SDI and you can choose your desired quad link output format.

The two options available are:

Square Division Quad Split – The 8K image is distributed as four quadrant 4K images in a 2 x 2 multi view configuration. Each 4K quadrant image is supplied via SDI using a quad link connection and reconstructed at the destination to form a complete 8K image. This is also the selection to use if you want to send each output to a separate display to create a video wall of Ultra HD monitors.

Sample interleave – Alternate pixels from a single 8K image are distributed as four separate 4K images via quad link SDI, then combined at the destination to form one complete 8K image. Therefore, an added benefit of this format is the option to use any of the four outputs as a down converted 4K image.

4K and 8K formats:

Are output as Square Division Quad Split (SQ)

Are output as Sample Interleave (\$I)

When using desktop video equipment for 8K playback, set your desired quad link 8K output format

Set Analog Video Output

If your Blackmagic Design hardware has shared analog video connectors, you can choose whether to output your video via 'component', 'composite' or 's-video' by selecting between the 'analog video output' options.

Analog Video Output Levels

Drag the 'video' and 'chroma' sliders to adjust the analog video output levels for component or composite video. Dragging the video slider affects the luma gain and the chroma sliders decrease or increase the color saturation. When using component video, you can adjust the Cb and Cr values independently. Click the 'link' icon to connect them if you want to adjust them simultaneously.

Adjust the video slider to set composite analog video output levels, and the Cb and Cr sliders for controlling color balance when using component video.

- Use Betacam Levels

Blackmagic Design products use SMPTE component analog levels to maintain compatibility with most modern video equipment. Enable the checkbox if working with Sony Betacam SP decks.

NTSC IRE

Select the 7.5 IRE setup for the NTSC composite video used in the USA and other countries. Select the 0 IRE setup if you're working in Japan or countries that don't use the 7.5 IRE setup. PAL and high definition formats do not use this setting.

Use Betacam Levels NTSC IRE: 0.0 (Japan) 7.5 (USA)

Enable the 'use Betacam levels' checkbox when working with Sony Betacam SP decks. Select the relevant NTSC IRE level when using an NTSC composite video format.

Reference Input

The reference adjustment lets you adjust the timing of the video outputs of your hardware relative to the video reference input. This is commonly used in large broadcast facilities where the video output needs to be accurately timed. The reference adjustment is in samples so you can get an extremely accurate timing adjustment down to the sample level.

A common example of how this setting would be used is where all the hardware in your facility has a stable common reference connected and then all the devices would have the timing set so the video outputs all match perfectly. This would then make it possible to switch between devices on a downstream router or production switcher and would eliminate any glitching when switching is performed.

Reference Input Offset 0 Pixels

If locking to a reference, adjust this setting to time the video output relative to the reference input.

Connector Mapping for DeckLink Quad 2

If you have a DeckLink Quad 2 installed in your computer, you can input or output SDI signals over 8 independent mini BNC connectors. This gives you the ability to capture or play back 8 separate video streams, similar to having 8 capture and playback devices in a single product. This is why your DeckLink Quad 2 appears in Desktop Video Setup as 8 individual DeckLink Quad devices which makes it easier to configure your inputs and outputs. You can even name each device so you can keep track of which DeckLink Quad device is being used for a specific video signal.

SDI connectors can be mapped to each device using the 'connector mapping' settings in the Desktop Video Setup utility, but it's important to know that specific connectors are dedicated to specific devices. For example, SDI 1 is dedicated to DeckLink Quad (1), and SDI 2 is dedicated to DeckLink Quad (1) and DeckLink Quad (5).

Connector Mapping Connector: SDI 1 & SDI 2

If you have a DeckLink Quad 2 installed, the 'connector mapping' setting lets you assign SDI connectors to each DeckLink Quad device.

You can see which SDI connectors are dedicated to each DeckLink Quad device by looking at the table below, where you can also check the mapping options for them.

Mapping Options

DeckLink Quad Devices Dedicated SDI Connectors

DeckLink Quad (1) SDI 1 and 2 or SDI 1

DeckLink Quad (2) SDI 3 and 4 or SDI 3

DeckLink Quad (3) SDI 5 and 6 or SDI 5

DeckLink Quad (4) SDI 7 and 8 or SDI 7

DeckLink Quad (5) SDI 2 or none

DeckLink Quad (6) SDI 4 or none

DeckLink Quad (7) SDI 6 or none

DeckLink Quad (8) SDI 8 or none

It's worth mentioning that when configuring an SDI connector for a specific device, it will also affect the device sharing that connector. For example, if DeckLink Quad (1) is set to use SDI 1 and 2, DeckLink Quad 5 will automatically be set to 'none' because its shared SDI connector is being used. Alternatively, if you select SDI 2 on DeckLink Quad (5), DeckLink Quad (1) will automatically be set to SDI 1. For this reason, it's important to note which SDI inputs or

outputs are being used by each device to avoid accidentally interrupting the input or output of another device.

TIP If you have an original DeckLink Quad installed in your facility and are using a custom designed SDK application, you can be confident that installing DeckLink Quad 2 will work in your system without having to make any changes to your application. Additional mapping features in your DeckLink Quad 2 will allow you to build on your existing system to provide even more input and output configurations if you need them.

Audio Settings

Audio Input

Click on a connector icon to set your 'audio input' connection for your Blackmagic Design hardware. You can select from the following inputs:

- Embedded

Includes audio channels as part of video signals. SDI and HDMI are capable of carrying embedded audio.

- AES/EBU

Is a digital audio signal that can carry 2 audio channels over a single connector.

- XLR

Is a three pin audio connector that is predominantly used by professional analog audio equipment.

- RCA or HIFI

Is a connector used to connect unbalanced analog audio to and from consumer audio equipment, such as HiFi systems, DVD players and televisions.

- Microphone

Phantom power supplies power through microphone cables and is a convenient power source for condenser microphones.

Enable the 'use +48V phantom power' option if your microphone requires phantom power. If you're unsure whether your mic needs phantom power or not, it's best to leave this box unchecked as there is a risk of causing damage to microphones that are self powered. An LED on the front of UltraStudio 4K Extreme will illuminate when phantom power is active. Be sure to wait at least 10 seconds for phantom power to discharge after disconnecting before plugging in a self powered microphone. Older ribbon type microphones and dynamic microphones are not suitable for phantom power usage.

Teranex Mini Smart Panel

Attaching a Teranex Mini Smart Panel

Blackmagic UltraStudio HD Mini is a small capture and playback solution that shares a similar form factor to other Blackmagic equipment like Teranex Mini converters and recording decks such as HyperDeck Studio Mini. These products are designed to be portable and modular so you can take them with you on location, mount them on your desk, or attach them to a Teranex Mini Rack Shelf. The rack shelf lets you mount the equipment in a rack.

Attaching an optional Teranex Mini Smart Panel to your UltraStudio HD Mini allows you to preview video and audio directly from the front of the unit during playback and capture.

The built in LCD on the Teranex Mini Smart Panel displays the input image as well as audio meters, which allow you to preview your audio levels.

The Panels are hot swappable so you don't even need to turn off your Blackmagic UltraStudio HD Mini when installing it.

1 Remove the two M3 screws on each side of your Blackmagic UltraStudio HD Mini's basic front panel using a Pozidriv 2 screwdriver and gently pull the panel away from the front of your the unit.

2 On the inside of the basic panel, you'll notice a small clear plastic tube attached to the bottom corner. This tube directs light from the LED inside the unit to illuminate the status indicator on the basic panel. This tube should stay attached to the basic front panel.

TIP If reattaching the basic front panel, make sure the light tube is aligned with the slot in the front of the unit.

3 Align the connector on the rear of the Teranex Mini Smart Panel with the corresponding connector on the face of your UltraStudio HD Mini and gently push the Smart Panel towards the unit until the connectors are firmly seated. The Teranex Mini Smart Panel should make a firm connection and fit neatly inside the face of your UltraStudio HD Mini.

4 Re-insert the M3 screws from the original panel.

Illustration of a hand holding a remote control unit with labeled buttons (MENU, VIDEO, SET, AUDIO) and ports (no text or symbols on the device itself)

When Installing the Téranex Mini Smart Panel to your Blackmagic UltraStudio HD Mini, holding the panel with your fingers and thumb aligned with the panel's rear connector will help guide it into place

If your UltraStudio HD Mini is installed in a Teranex Mini Rack Shelf, you will need to remove the unit from the rack shelf to access the front panel screws.

See the 'Teranex Mini Rack Shelf' section for more information.

The original basic panel is very strong, so if you need to mount your Blackmagic UltraStudio HD Mini in the back of a rack system or in areas where there are lots of cables or activity, you can always reinstall the original basic panel.

Smart Panel Features

LCD Display

The home screen is the first feature you'll see on your Teranex Mini Smart Panel's LCD display. The home screen shows you important information, including:

525i59.94 NTSC Video format – The video format being captured or played back. 55 fr YCbCr Source – The video input source type, SDI, YCbCr or NTSC/PAL. Buffer – The number of frames that can be buffered on the device during capture or the number of frames buffered on the device during playback. Audio meters – Displays the audio levels of the video source connected to UltraStudio HD Minl.

Video monitor – Displays the input video source that is connected to UltraStudio HD Mini.

Teranex Mini Rack Shelf

When using Blackmagic UltraStudio HD Mini with other equipment like Blackmagic ATEM Television Studio HD or Blackmagic Teranex Mini converters, you can use Teranex Mini Rack Shelf to install your units into a broadcast rack or road case. Up to three Teranex Mini sized units can fit neatly onto each 1RU Teranex Mini Rack Shelf.

UltraStudio HD Mini is installed into the rack shelf by removing the unit's rubber feet, if attached, and screwing the unit into the base of the shelf using the mounting holes on the underside.

Audio Settings

UltraStudio 4K Mini also has additional audio settings in the LCD menu. These settings let you change the type of audio meters displayed on the LCD during capture and playback. The two audio meter types are VU and PPM.

vU

The VU meter, or 'volume units' meter, averages out short peaks and troughs in your audio signal. If you are using VU metering, adjust the output levels of your source so that the meter peaks at the 0db indicator on the audio meter. This maximizes the signal to noise ratio and ensures your audio is at the highest quality. If your audio peaks beyond the 0dB indicator there is a high risk of sound distortion. If you are using the analog audio inputs of the UltraStudio 4K Mini, the input levels can be adjusted in the LCD menu or setup utility.

PPM

PPM meters, or 'peak programme meters', display a 'peak hold' feature that momentarily holds the signal peaks with a slow fall back so you can easily see the audio level at which your audio is peaking.

Both VU and PPM meters can be set to use reference levels of -18dB or -20dB so you can monitor your audio to suit different international broadcasting standards.

SD Card Slot

UltraStudio 4K Mini's front panel also features an SD card slot that reads and writes files when the unit is connected to a Mac or Windows computer. This slot can be used just like a typical SD card reader or writer and is detected by your computer as another drive. This means you can quickly import clips from your camera's SD card or set Media Express to capture a clip to portable media.

You can scale your image up or down to the next closest video standard supported by your hardware. For example, if you are using UltraStudio 4K and your Premiere sequence is set to a resolution of 3996 x 2160, scaling down will output Ultra HD, scaling up will output DCI 4K.

Blackmagic Device Selection Device: UltraStudio 4K Extreme 3 Output Colorspace: Rec. 2020 PQ HDR mastering is for 1000 nits For output of unsupported frame sizes: No Output Scale down Scale up OK Cancel

Select an option to output unsupported frame sizes.

If your Desktop Video device supports HDR, you can also set the color gamut and transfer function for HDR projects. These include HLG and PQ for Rec 2020. The HDR mastering display setting should be set to the maximum nits your monitor or television is capable of displaying.

Capture

To capture choose:

File > capture [F5]

Enter your desired tape and clip name.

Capture Bitmaps Locking Settings Setup Capture Audio and Video Log Clips No: Unlnting/Decoupling Clip Drop Layer Name: Instant Layer Clip Name: Instant Clip 03 Descolutions Scene: Short/Tube Log Note: Timecode: 00:00:00:00 Set In 96:00:00:00 Set Out 96:00:00:01 Log Clip Captors: m/mat Type Uniform Color Handles: C Samples

Set your capture and device control settings in the capture window

To immediately capture, or to capture from a non-controllable device, click the red record button [G].

If you wish to log the clip using RS-422 deck control, enter the desired in and out points using the 'set in' and 'set out' buttons, or by manually typing the timecode and clicking 'log clip'. Enter a clip name and press 'ok'. The empty clip will now appear in the 'project' window. Repeat this until you have logged all of the clips you wish to batch capture.

Then choose: File > batch capture [F6]. To set handles on the clips, enable the option to capture with handles and type the number of additional frames you require at the start and end of each clip and click 'ok'. You will now be prompted to enter your tape. Click 'ok' and your clips will now be captured.

Export to Tape

If you want to edit your timeline to an external deck, you can do so using Premiere Pro's 'edit to tape' feature. Choose between two export types: insert and assemble. Insert editing requires unbroken timecode for the duration of the project which is to be laid to tape, and is also a great solution when you want to replace a shot on an existing tape. In assemble mode, the tape needs only to be "blacked" until a point just beyond the starting timecode of the sequence. As assemble editing erases the tape ahead of the record heads, it should not be used where other projects already exist on the tape after the out point of your edit.

Edit To Type Current Sequence: Sequence 02 Stopped. Device Preset: Same Preset Delete Preset Media Export Type: Assertive video A1 A2 A3 A4 A5 A6 A7 A8 A9 A10 A11 A12 Bottom Tone 30.00 Seconds Black Video 13.38 Seconds Universal Counseling Leader Setup Device Control Pencil 3 Seconds Delay Movie Start by 0.9 frames VTR Record Offset 6.0 frames Short export on dropped frames Report Dropped from...

Use the 'edit to tape' feature to export your edit to an external deck

TIP When exporting to tape using the assemble mode, it's always good to add at least 30 seconds of black to the end of your sequence. This assists with tape post roll functions and prevents unwanted media appearing directly after your footage.

To export to tape via RS-422 deck control:

1 Make sure the Adobe Premiere Pro preferences are configured correctly as described in 'setting up a Blackmagic Design project' earlier in this section.
2 Open Premiere Pro's 'edit to tape' window by clicking File > export > tape (serial device). Click on 'recorder settings', select Blackmagic capture from the dropdown menu and click 'settings'. Choose your video standard and format along with audio settings. Click 'ok'. If the capture format does not match the output format, it can cause confusion for the deck during preroll and audio might not be exported.
3 Now choose your 'export type' by selecting 'assemble' or 'insert' from the dropdown menu, enter the desired in point timecode and click 'record'.

When editing to tape, the software waits at the first frame of your project for the deck to drop into record at the predetermined timecode. Should you find that either the first frame of your program is repeated or lost during the edit to tape procedure, you will need to adjust the 'playback > video device > offset' setting to bring the deck and computer in sync. You should only need to do this once with any combination of deck and computer and the correct setting will be retained.

Adobe Character Animator CC

Some Desktop Video capture and playback devices let you connect graphics generated by Adobe Character Animator CC to other video equipment such as a confidence monitor. For example, you may want to use the performance of a virtual character in a video edit and monitor the performance in realtime.

This section shows you how to set the output options in Adobe Character Animator CC.

Ch Character Animator © 2002-2019 Adobe. All rights reserved. Artwork by Zigee Samanega, for more details and legal notices, go to the About Character Animator system. Initializing MID... Adobe Creative Cloud

1 In Adobe Character Animator, select Character > Preferences > Live Output.
2 Ensure 'enable Mercury transmit and syphon' is checked.
3 Ensure 'Blackmagic playback' is checked.
4 Select 'setup' next to 'Blackmagic playback'.
5 In the 'output mode' drop down menu, choose a mode from the following options.

Playback

Outputs a signal directly from Adobe Character Animator CC without any keying.

Internal Keying

This option allows you to superimpose your animated character over another video source using your Desktop Video device's internal keyer. For example, the background could be a video of a location relevant to a news story and the character could be superimposed over the top providing a live interview. Another option would be to have the character superimposed over the broadcast feed and sit in the bottom corner like a logo or watermark, providing reactions to the content that is being broadcast.

Fill/Key

If you want to perform the keying using an external switcher, for example an ATEM switcher, you can set the output mode to fill/key. The fill signal is the animated character and the key signal is the grayscale mask that tells a keyer to make the space around the character transparent. This allows the keyer to superimpose the character over a background.

Final Cut Pro X

You can use the A/V output option in Final Cut Pro X to output your video through Blackmagic Design video hardware. If you are using a Desktop Video device that supports HDR, you can also view and edit HDR video with a wide color gamut on a compatible television or monitor.

Final Cut Pro X Version 10.4.7 © 2001-2019 Apple Inc. All rights reserved. Apple, the Apple logo, and Final Cut Pro are trademarks of Apple Inc., registered in the U.S. and other countries.

Final Cut Pro X

Setting Up Final Cut Pro X

1 Ensure you are running Final Cut Pro X 10.0.4 or later with the latest version of Mac OS.
2 Open Blackmagic Desktop Video Setup. Click on the 'video standard' drop down menu and then set the same format that you will use in your Final Cut Pro X project. For example, 2160p29.97. The format should be the same as the video format of your clips. The video standard setting also determines the monitoring video output mode.

Final Cut Pro X

Video standard:

2160p29.97

Pixel format:

10-bit YUV 4:2:2

Color gamut:

Rec. 2020 PQ

Set the 'output format' to match your Final Cut Pro X project format.

3 Click on the 'pixel format' drop down menu and set it to match a format your TV or external monitor will accept. For example, if you are working with a wide HDR color gamut, choose '10-bit YUV 4:2:2' or '10-bit RGB 4:4:4' based on your monitor's compatibility requirements.
4 Click on the 'color gamut' drop down menu and set this to match the color gamut your project is using. If you are working with a standard or high definition project with a standard dynamic range, choose 'Rec. 601/Rec. 709'. If you are using a Desktop Video device that supports HDR and you are editing a 4K or high dynamic range project, select 'Rec. 2020'. For projects that are both 4K and high dynamic range, choose either 'Rec. 2020 HLG' or 'Rec. 2020 PQ'. This should also be a format your TV or monitor is capable of displaying.

Now that you have set your output display settings using Desktop Video Setup, you can create a new project in Final Cut Pro X.

To create a new project:

1 Launch Final Cut Pro X. In the library properties, you will notice the default untitled standard project name. Click on its corresponding 'modify' icon. Create a new library by going to the file menu, then selecting new and library.

TIP If after creating a new library, the library properties on the right side of the screen are hidden, enable them by clicking the clapper board icon in the top left corner. This opens the libraries sidebar.

2 Select the new library in the libraries sidebar and click its corresponding 'modify' icon.

An options window will appear asking you to set the color space for your project. Select 'standard' for an SD or HD project using a standard color gamut. If you are intending to create a wide color gamut HDR movie, select 'wide gamut HDR'.

3 Click 'change' to confirm your setting.

4 Create a new project by right clicking the library name in the libraries sidebar and selecting, 'new project'. Type a name and choose an event to place your project in. If you haven't already created one, you can choose the default event, which is named as the current date.

5 Click 'use custom settings'. Set the 'video format', 'resolution' and 'rate' to match the video standard and frame rate you set in Blackmagic Desktop Video Setup.

Project Name: My Project In Event: 6-11-19 Starting Timecode: 00:00:00:00 Drop Frame Video: 4K 3840x2160 29.97p Format Resolution Rate Rendering: Apple ProRes 422 Codes Wide Gamut HDR - Rec. 2020 PQ Color Space Audio: Stereo 48kHz Channels Sample Rate Use Automatic Settings Cancel OK

6 Set 'rendering' to your preferred Apple ProRes codec or 'uncompressed 10-bit 4:2:2' for an uncompressed workflow.

7 If your project is standard HD, you don't have to change the color space as Final Cut Pro selects the standard HD Rec. 709 color space for you. If you are working on an HDR project with a wide color gamut, select the color space and either PQ or HLG according to what your TV or monitor is able to display.

8 Set the audio channels to stereo, or you can choose 'surround' for 6 audio channels. Set the audio sample rate to the television rate of 48kHz.

9 Click OK to complete the creation of your new project.

When the capture has been completed, a single thumbnail will appear in the media list representing the entire frame sequence. The sequence of DPX frames will be stored in its own folder in your disk storage. Audio will be stored in a .wav file in the same folder.

By default, DPX captures are assumed to be from YUV sources. If you are capturing from an RGB source, select 'capture from an RGB source'.

If you want the DPX frame numbers to be based on the timecode of the captured video, rather than just starting from zero, enable the option to 'use absolute frame numbering when capturing DPX'.

If you aren't performing long DPX captures, you may wish to reduce the number of zeroes in the frame numbers by changing the option, 'when capturing DPX files, use (2-8) digit numbers in the frame count'.

3D Capture

When Media Express is used with a Blackmagic Design video hardware model that 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.
• If capturing from an SDI source, make sure you have 2 discrete HD-SDI video inputs to the Blackmagic video hardware.
• Capture.

Select a project video format with "3D" In its name to capture dual stream stereoscopic 3D video clips.

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.

Capturing H.265 Video

To capture video using Blackmagic UltraStudio 4K Extreme's built in H.265 encoder:

1 Open Media Express 'preferences' and set the 'capture file format' to MP4 H.265.
2 Set the bitrate for your H.265 capture by clicking on the 'quality' button located next to the H.265 setting and dragging the 'encoding settings' slider left or right. Close the 'encoding settings' window to confirm your setting.

TIP For more information about H.265 capture and bitrate settings, refer to the next section in this manual, 'H.265 Hardware Encoder'.

H.265 Hardware Encoder

Capturing H.265 Video with UltraStudio 4K Extreme

Blackmagic UltraStudio 4K Extreme has a powerful built in H.265 hardware encoder that lets you capture the latest H.265 video in real time. This gives you the ability to capture video using encoding technology that maintains stunning video quality at the lowest possible bitrate.

Preferences Project Video Format: 1080p25 Capture File Format: MP4 HL265 Quality Use dropped frame timecode Capture from an RGB source Capture from a YUV source Capture two independent streams as 3D Use absolute frame numbering when capturing DPX When capturing DPX files, use 8 C digit numbers in the frame count Capture audio and video to: /Users/AloeVera Browse For all video and audio media file captures Capture still frames to: /Users/AloeVera Browse For all still frame captures only Stop capture if dropped frames are detected Stop playback if dropped frames are detected Use Anamorphic SD 16:9 Continue playback when in the background Set deck to 5 second pre-roll for curing When capturing use a 0 frame timecode offset When mastering use a 0 frame timecode offset

To capture H.265 video using Blackmagic UltraStudio 4K Extreme, set the capture file format in Media Express preferences to MP4 H.265.

To capture video using the built in H.265 encoder:

1 Launch the Blackmagic Media Express software. Open Media Express 'preferences' and set the 'capture file format' to MP4 H.265.
2 Set the bitrate for your H.265 capture by clicking on the 'quality' button located next to the H.265 setting and dragging the 'encoding settings' slider left or right. Close the 'encoding settings' window to confirm your setting. Your Blackmagic UltraStudio 4K Extreme is now ready to encode H.265 video using Blackmagic Media Express. For information about how to capture and play back video using Media Express, refer to the 'Blackmagic Media Express' section of this manual.

Setting the Bitrate

The default bitrate is set to 15 Mb/s which is a good choice for high quality Ultra HD video that is streamed online, but you can set it anywhere between 3 to 50 Mb/s. For online streaming of HD video, a good choice is between 3 to 5 Mb/s.

Drag the 'encoding settings' slider to the left if you need to capture video with a smaller file size and a lower bitrate, or drag to the right if file sizes are not an issue and you want the best possible video quality. Setting the bitrate too low will result in compression artifacts in your picture, such as visible macro blocking, pixelation or banding. However, the H.265 hardware encoder is very efficient and keeps artifacts to a minimum, so you can set the bitrate lower than you normally would for H.264 video and still retain great video quality.

Project Video Format: 1080p25 Capture File Format: MP4 H.265 Quality Use dropped frame timecode Encoding Settings Bitrate: 15.0 Mb/s 3.0 50.0

Set the bitrate for H.265 capture by clicking on the 'quality' button and dragging the 'encoding settings' slider left or right.

When encoding H.265 video, or any type of video encoding for online streaming, it's often helpful to consider a few things, such as the bandwidth of your intended delivery system, the amount of movement and contrast between frames in your video, and the frame rate of your video. For example, if there is a large number of people streaming your video, you may need to lower the bitrate in your encoding so audience members with slower internet connections can watch without download interruptions. Higher bitrates are better for video content with lots of contrast and movement between frames, such as bright to dark, or high energy sporting events and graphics. Video with high frame rates also require higher bitrates compared to video at lower frame rates.

Choosing a bitrate for your encoding can often be an experimental process to achieve the best video quality in the smallest file size, so it's worth testing a variety of bitrate settings for the best results.
