Controlling Ultimatte
Now that you are familiar with your Ultimatte’s front panel, we can begin exploring how to
control your Ultimatte and build a composite. There are two different ways to control the unit,
such as using the Ultimatte Software Control application on a Windows or Mac computer, or by
using the touch screen interface on an optional Smart Remote 4 hardware panel. Both methods
use the same general interface so once you are familiar with one, you will also be familiar with
the other. The next section of this manual will explore Ultimatte Software Control.
Ultimatte Software Control
Ultimatte Software Control gives you full control over all the features and functions of your
Ultimatte allowing you to fine tune your composite, change settings, load images into the
media pool and control up to eight Ultimatte units over a network. Ultimatte Software Control
iscompatible with Mac and Windows computers and Smart Remote 4.
Controls and settings are changed using buttons and knobs in the general interface. The
settings for each control knob varies depending on which menu you have selected. Additional
settings are accessed from the ‘Ultimatte’ and ‘preset’ menus at the top left of the screen. If you
are using a Smart Remote 4, the physical buttons on the left side of the panel can be used to
change these additional settings.
Installing Ultimatte Software
The Blackmagic Ultimatte software includes both Ultimatte Software Control and the Ultimatte
Setup application.
Ultimatte Setup lets you update the internal software of your Ultimatte as well as change
various settings such as network protocol.
For information on installing Ultimatte Software Control on Smart Remote 4, refer to the
‘updating your Smart Remote 4’ section.
