If there are no adjustments in the camera to correct the timing, Ultimatte 12's inputs menu gives
you access to the timing controls if you need to make subtle timing corrections to a source
input signal.
Foreground Input U Position
This control will only adjust the U timing relative to Y in sub pixel values.
The maximum range of adjustment is +/- 2 pixels.
Foreground Input V Position
This control will only adjust the V timing relative to Y in sub pixel values.
The maximum range of adjustment is +/- 2 pixels.
Foreground Input UV Position
This control will adjust both the U and V timing relative to Y in sub pixel values.
The relative difference between U and V will be maintained. The maximum range
of adjustment is +/- 2 pixels.
Outputs
The output configuration settings lets you customize the appearance of the outputs and route
certain outputs to help your workflow. For example, setting the talent output to mirror, or routing
the monitor output to the program output.
You can also enable the powerful cascade monitoring feature which lets you view the program
output for multiple Ultimatte 12 units via one single unit as soon as you select a unit to control
on your Smart Remote 4.
Talent Highlight Level
This control adjusts the amount of highlight applied to the image viewed on the talent
output areas where background mattes, garbage mattes, holdout mattes and layer
mattes are used.
Matte Out Level
Internal to the unit, the matte signal is set so that fully opaque foreground objects are at
0% black and peak backing areas are at 100% white. The matte out level of 100% white
is set at 940 for a 10-bit output. Similarly, 0% black is set at 64.
NOTE
The 'matte out invert' function will invert the polarity of the matte out.
The matte out level adjusts the level of the matte out from the white end. This control
can lower the matte out level to 0% or push it into the legal ceiling.
Monitor to Program
In most situations, it is advantageous and safe not to be able to switch the program
output to other views. However, there are times when the program out view needs
to be changed from the composited image to another view. For example, the matte
view. For these few instances, it is possible to route the monitor output to the
program output.
When 'monitor to program' is enabled, the program output will show the same view
selections made in the monitor output. Disabling monitor to program will return the
program output to its previous setting.
