Blackmagic Design Pocket Ultrascope
The world's first scopes designed for editors and colorists, with the
technical accuracy broadcast engineers will love! There's two great
models of UltraScope designed for your needs. The amazing UltraScope
with SDI and optical fiber SDI for PCI Express computers and the new
portable Pocket UltraScope with SDI and USB 3.0, perfect for notebook
computers!
Elegant and Engineering Accurate
If you're tired of hard to use and ugly waveform monitoring, then you'll
love Blackmagic UltraScope. We have included all the features you need
when editing or color correcting, and then, combined it with an elegant
user interface that looks great when added to your studio! Simply plug
into any compatible Windows™ computer with a 24 inch monitor, and
Blackmagic UltraScope will display 6 live scope views simultaneously!
UltraScope is engineering accurate and includes 3 Gb/s SDI plus 3 Gb/s
optical fiber SDI. The new Pocket UltraScope plugs into USB 3.0
computers and is perfect for portable notebook use, and it even powers
via USB from your notebook battery.
Parade Display for Colorists
When color correcting video, nothing beats the real time RGB parade
waveform view. You can see the color balance in blacks, mids and whites,
so it's easy to balance colors and get your images looking perfect. RGB
Parade is also perfect for checking for illegal colors because any
video that drops below the black line, or above the 100% line is an
illegal RGB color. Parade can also be switched to component so you can
align equipment and decks.
Waveform Display for Alignments
When adjusting video levels or matching black background levels when
keying, the waveform display is ideal for this task! Waveform view has a
setting that's luminance only or composite. Composite video is
synthesized from the SDI input, and is a much better view for aligning
traditional equipment such as decks. Thousands of editors know and
understand composite waveform monitors, so even though UltraScope is all
digital, the synthesized composite waveform makes life a lot easier!
Component Vectorscope View
A vectorscope is the only way to see what color you have. When color
correcting video, sometimes you need to know color has been removed or
nulled out for accurate white balance, and vectorscope view is perfect.
Sometimes when color correcting you also need to apply a tint, and
vectorscope lets you see exactly how much tint you're adding, and what
color it is. Sometimes monitors cannot be trusted, but a vectorscope
always shows the colors you have! Of course aligning hue on decks is
always easy with vectorscope view!
Histogram for Location Shoots
Almost all video need to be color corrected at some point in the post
production process, and so you never want to clip video whites or blacks
when on a live shoot. If you clip the blacks and whites, you loose all
detail later in post production when you try to adjust blacks up or
whites down. Histogram view lets you see where the pixels are in your
video, and how they are distributed from black to white. You can see if
video is clipping, and then it's easy to adjust the camera to keep all
black and white detail in the image. Later in post production you then
have the full contrast range of video for easy color correction that
lets you keep all details no matter how extreme the color grade is!
Audio view for Monitoring Levels
Keep track of your audio levels at all times with 8 channels of audio
metering, plus a stereo phase meter. The stereo phase meter plots left
and right audio, as an XY scope display so you know exactly what your
audio is at all times. Audio scope lets you see mono audio, as you see a
vertical line, or when you have stereo audio you will see the scope
puff out in all directions! Audio problems are easily seen such as
clipping, and out of phase audio can be seen as a left or right leaning
display. If you don't get a perfect vertical waveform, then you know you
audio channel balance is out! No audio problem can hide from audio
scopes!
Picture View with VITC Timecode
The picture view lets you keep track of the video input so you always
know what's going on and what video input is connected into your
Blackmagic UltraScope. Input video is selected from either the optical
fiber SDI or regular SDI inputs, and the video standard is automatically
detected and displayed above the video image. VITC timecode and RP188
HD timecode is also detected and read into a timecode counter on the top
right of the video image.
High end post production and television engineers have known for decades
the benefit of using waveform monitoring not just for engineering, but
operationally in color correction and editing workflow. From color
correction to matching black levels when keying and overlaying video,
only waveform monitoring lets you keep track of what's going on, and
helps you eliminate illegal colors, and other problems that could cause
your work to be rejected by broadcasters.
Of course, waveform monitoring is the best way to impress your clients
and let them know that you're keeping on top of quality in your work!
