Fill Linear Mix Correct
If the system you are using to combine the matte and fill outputs does not have an
'additive mix' capability, for example linear mix only, the composite image can have
dark edges due to a second processing of the processed foreground image. Enabling
the setting marked 'Fill Lin Mix Cor' will minimize potential artifacts caused by the
second processing of the foreground image. Use this setting when you are sending the
matte and fill to an external device for final mixing, for example a broadcast switcher.
Talent Mirror
Selecting this option will horizontally mirror the program image viewed on the
talent output.
The talent monitor output is used for the foreground subjects on the set to see
themselves inserted in the new background scene. By providing the capability to
horizontally mirror the viewed image, the talent can have a more natural feedback
when seeing themselves on the monitor.
Monitor to Talent
When 'monitor to talent' is enabled, the talent output will show the same view
selections made in the monitor output. Disabling the monitor to talent will return the
talent output view to its previous setting.
Monitor Cascade
The monitor cascade feature can be accessed from the 'information' symbol on the
right side of the menu name section of the Smart Remote 4. You can find the setting
under the 'options' tab.
When the monitor cascade feature is disabled, the monitor output will be the view
selected by the monitor out options. For a single Blackmagic Ultimatte 12 unit, the
monitor output can be connected to a video monitor directly. Typically, if there are
multiple Blackmagic Ultimatte 12 units, the monitor output for each unit can be
connected to a routing switcher for monitoring multiple outputs.
Alternately, with multiple Blackmagic Ultimatte 12 units, they can be daisy chained via
their monitor inputs and outputs, with the last unit plugged into a monitor. Then when
you select a unit on the Smart Remote to control, the monitor output for that unit can be
viewed on that monitor. This is an efficient and powerful way to monitor the output from
up to 8 Ultimatte 12 units via one single unit.
To connect 4 units for cascade monitoring:
1
Connect the first unit's monitor output to the monitor input of the second unit.
2
Connect the monitor output of the second unit to the monitor input of the third unit.
3
Connect the monitor output of the third unit to the monitor input of the fourth unit.
4
Connect the monitor output of the fourth unit to a monitor.
When the monitor cascade feature is enabled, the viewed image on the video monitor
will be of the unit that is selected by the Smart Remote 4 as the currently active unit.
When the unit selection is changed, the image viewed on the video monitor will change
to the monitor out of the selected unit.
Matte Out Invert
Enabling this function will invert the polarity of the matte out signal.
