Anyone using Blackmagic Ultrastudio SDI USB3 Interface in CS6?

I am looking at getting new SDI I/O cards for some new CS6 workstations we are building and am wondering how well these new USB3 devices work in CS6?
One of my main questions is can you monitor your CS6 timeline playpack from this device with HDMI and SDI output simultaneously?

The short answer is yes. In the BMD control panel there is a box which says " All Outputs Active".

Anyone using Blackmagic Intensity Pro with Premiere CS4

I've looked through the threads and have seen similar postings, but no real good answers. Is anyone using Blackmagic Intensity Pro to viiew timeline on a HDTV using the HDMI connector?
I purchasedf the Intensity Pro and can't get it to work with CS4. Any assistance would be appreciated.

If you're using a Core i7 processor, one of the problems might be with the motherboard. There's only one Intel board that BM has approved (sorry, don't have the model in front of me -- on a piece of scratch paper in my wife's car).
I'm looking to build a new system myself and have been looking at the Intensity Pro card as well. The main feature I'm looking for is real-time preview and program output to an HD monitor that I'd hook up via HDMI. I probably also would use it to capture analog sources for audio and video. I don't have any interest in BM's lossless data capture as it creates monster-sized files. That's why I was also planning to add Cineform once it's fully approved and working for CS4. However, as best as I can tell, the Intensity Pro card doesn't recognize the Cineform codec on the timeline. Does anyone know if and how well these two will function together within Premiere? (I'm also assuming that the new 4.1 release might make these types of Premiere add-ons work better.)
Thanks.

Anyone using Blackmagic card for preview monitor?

I have a Blackmagic Intensity Pro card for monitor out to a lcd tv connected via HDMI.
The picture on my tv has black bars on the left and right side of the screen (like 4:3 should be 16:9). It is not showing my 1080i60 canvas as it is in Motion.
Whats weird is........... I put the same Intensity Pro card in another Mac Pro connected the same tv and it looked wide screen and displayed properly.
I can't figure out what's different about my Motion????

Yes they were both set to HDV 1080i60. It's really weird. I hope Blackmagic can help me tomorrow when I call.

Help!! Anyone use IIS4 with developer server

Hello folks,
My current setup
NT Application server :
1) Developer server6.0
2) IIS4.0
NT Oracle RDBMS
1) Oracle8i
The commumication between between the 2 servers using SQLNET has
no problem. I tested it using the SCOTT/TIGER combination.
But I need to setup the web connection where the browser is able
to connect to the RDBMS server for queries and data retriever.
I have tried using the form server, which I found the following
documentations to connect to the RDBMS.
ORACLE_HOME%\tools\devdem60\web\readme.htm
Although the readme file is for OWA server, I attempted the
configuration with IIS4.0. I understand the only different is
the configuration of virtual directory. There is a part in
configuration inthe readme file about editing "registry.dat"
file. This file contain "funny" character which make it
difficult to edit. Not sure if I have done it right.
Nevertheless, the configuration process is done, but when I load
the web page to execute the scripts, nothing appear on the
screen on the web browser.
1) Has anyone been successful in configuring this part of the
scripts ? Please tell me wrong may has gone wrong.
2) Has anyone use webDB to be the interface for web to database
interface ?
3) Is there any documented way beside CGI to get connect to the
database via web ?
I appreciate any pointers
Thank you very much

BlackMagic Design UltraStudio SDI

Has any one used the BlackMagic Design UltraStudio SDI witht he Flash Media Live encoder yet? Have you had success? Thanks so much for any insight.

We (KulaByte/Haivision) have been working with Blackmagic engineering on the USB 3 issues. It turns out that the Blackmagic DirectShow drivers had some issues that needed to be addressed; Blackmagic's native drivers have been working fine with USB 3. The KulaByte encoder as well as FMLE use DirectShow drivers for capture and thus explains the problems we have all been experiencing with the USB 3 Blackmagic devices. The DirectShow USB 3 issues have been resolved in the "Desktop Video 9.0 for Windows" driver and the Intensity Shuttle and UltraStudio Pro are both working with the KulaByte encoder; we will be testing the UltraStudio SDI but it should work if the other two do. It is likely that FMLE will work now as well.
Regarding which laptop to use, we have successfully used the Dell E6420 and the Dell Precision M4600 which both have a relatively recent NEC/Renesas USB 3 chipset. Make sure you update your laptop to the latest BIOS and follow the instructions with the Blackmagic USB 3 device to update both the firmware and driver for the USB 3 chipset except update to the most recent versions, not the older version shown in the Blackmagic instructions.

Get 4 audio channels out through SDI whit BlackMagic UltraStudio Express

Hi,
We have some issues with the Blackmagic UltraStudio Express and Premiere Pro.
We need to get out 4 audio channels through SDI for different broadcast and news feeds. We can't do that with the UltraStudio Express on different Mac Book Pro (one on OS 10.9 and one on 10.8.5) with Premiere pro CC and Premiere pro CS6. (We have try with the driver 9.9.3 and 9.6.8). The only thing we manage to monitor out of the UltraStudio is 2 audio channels.
We know it "could" work as :
- We are able with the same setup to get 4 audio channels via FCP 7.0
- We are able with a Mac Pro OS10.8.5 + Blackmagic Decklink HD Extreme 2 (driver 9.6.8) to get 4 audio channels with Adobe Premiere CC
Do you have maybe a solution for this ?
Have a nice day !
Best regards

Has anyone used the QuickUSB module (Bitswise Systems) to interface to a USB Camera via IMAQ for USB?

Has anyone used the QuickUSB module made by Bitwise Systems with LabVIEW for image acquisition. I have a USB camera and I'm trying to use the IMAQ for USB controls to no avail. Any input is appreciated.

Are you using the NI-IMAQ for USB functions or are you calling the QuickUSB libraries from LabVIEW? Unless the USB camera is DirectShow compliant, then it will not work with the NI-IMAQ for USB driver. You can use the Code Interface Node in LabVIEW to call external dll's, and it looks like from QuickUSB's website that is the best way to go. Hope this helps.

Re: Interfaces in Forte - has anyone used them?

We are making use of interfaces extensively and have never had the
slightest problem. Interfaces do not cause any overhead, since they are
mainly a means to support type checking by the compiler. At run-time the
interface does not appear any more.

Eric,
You are correct, "manipulate anAIFace object" is not really the correct
way of thinking about what is happening. We are really manipulating an
instance of an object through an interface.
In regards to your other statement: "if Project C needs visibility to B,
it must have B as a supplier Plan." Forte does not force this to happen
when you are using interfaces, which is what causes the problem. Let me
expand on my initial example and add enough detail so that you can create
the problem, which surfaces as a deserialization error:
Project A (No Supplier Plans)
Defines Interfaces: UnitIFace with method GetValue() which returns an
integer
Project B (Contains A as a Supplier Plan)
Defines Class: Unit with attribute _Value as an integer and method
GetValue() which returns _Value. Implements interface UnitIFace.
Project C (Contains A as a Supplier Plan)
Defines Class: Square with method Calculate which accepts an
UnitIFace as an input parameter and returns an integer. This class needs
to be setup as a distributed object so that I service object can be
defined using this class.
Defines Service Object: SqaureSO using the Square class.
Project D (Contains B and C as Supplier Plans)
Defines a class or uses a window that creates an instance of Class B
and passes it to the SquareSO service object that sqaures the value and
returns an integer.
Once this is setup, use the running man to run everything locally. This
will run fine because the dependencies for the local partition end up
including Projects A, B, C and D. Next, run distributed and move the SO
to a remote partition. Now when you execute you will receive a
deserialization error. This happens because the dependencies for the
remote partition only included project A and C. The partition did not
have the necessary information to deserialize the underlying instance of
Class Unit that is referenced through the inteface UnitIFace.
The problem can be resolved by either adding Project B as a supplier plan
to Project C or ensuring that the interface and class are declared in the
same project as I suggested in my previous message. In either case, this
must be resolved by the programmer since Forte is not yet smart enough to
correctly resolve the project dependencies, even though all of the
information needed to establish the correct dependency hierarchy is
available.

Subject: RE: Interfaces in Forte - has anyone used them?
Bradley,
Thanks for that descriptive note on interfaces.
I do have a observation : in that example you gave us, if Project C
needs visibility to B, it must have B as a supplier Plan. Therefore, I
don't quite understand how partioning classes in C would end up with a
run-time errror in distributed mode, given that B supplies C (something
you've perhaps missed out in your example ?).
Also, is it really possible to "manipulate AIFace objects" ? Interfaces
are'nt really objects, they just help implement a compile-time type
check.
Thanks.
Eric Pereira
Forte Consultant
----<snip>------------------
Example:
Project A - Contains AIFace
Project B - Contains Class B which implements AIFace, depends on Project
A
Project C - Contains Classes manipulating AIFace objects, depends on
Project A
This can run fine locally since the local partition has knowledge of all
the classes in A, B, and C. Now as soon as you throw a service object
on
classes on Project C and push them into a remote partition, your
application starts failing because that partition does not contain the
information form project B since there is no dependency on that project.
The partition needs the information from project B though since it
contains the definitions for the actual implementation objects, however
there was no way for Forte to determine that need when it generated the
partition.
This problem is initially eliminated by keeping the interfaces in the
same project as the underlying business objects. But once you start to
have interfaces implemented by multiple classes from multiple projects,
then this won't cover all the bases either. In any case, it is an issue
that you will need to consider at some level when using interfaces.
Good luck!

With version 3G, you can not create an array of interfaces. I believe
Forte
will have that feature in version 4 (which is scheduled to be in
production
at the end of next year).

Multistream with Blackmagic UltraStudio Express on MacBook Pro

Hey,
I've got a MacBook Pro Late 2013 (2,6 GHz i7, 16GB Ram) and wanted to output 3 streams captured by a Blackmagic UltraStudio Express.
But I'm afraid the streams doesn't get the full FPS and it stutters.
Does anyone have a suggestion how to improve the performance??
Kind regards

Hi, I run Final Cut Studio 2 and Logic Studio on my MacBook Pro 2.33 Ghz computer. Either of the new ones will be fine as they have an even better video card than mine does. My 2.33 had a 160 Gb drive inside and was just a little too small for both programs so I installed a 320 GB drive.
As far as playing music on it, iTunes is the way to go and all the songs are converted to either MP3 and AAC. If you plan to purchase music from the iTunes store than that is the way to go.
One item to consider, I wish I had had the option of the really high def screen when I purchased my MBP.
Good luck, I think you are really going to love the computer. Just be sure to protect it! I installed the Invisible Shield on my MBP, but there are other ways to protect it from damage. Best to get really good carrying case for it.
Oh, and you didn't mention - 15.4" or 17". For me the 17" is the only way to go, unless you plan to attach it to an external monitor when using FCE.

Playback with Blackmagic Ultrastudio Express Thunderbolt

Hello,
I'm using a MacBook Pro, a Blackmagic Ultrastudio Express Thunderbolt, and Premiere Pro CC 2014. Under preferences I've set playback to BlackMagic playback. When I connect a monitor to the ultra studio express I can get playback from the sources but not from the program. I'm trying to output a green screen composite. I've got the composite completed in the program viewer within Premiere, I've rendered the effect, but it won't play out to the external monitor. But if I double click on either tracks on the timeline, they will play out to the external monitor.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Herb Forsberg

To my knowledge, if CC is up to date, it's up to date. I checked and there are no updates. Thanks.

Waves 5.9.7.. anyone using it with L8?

Hi,
Trying to update my waves plugs (I have the musician II bundle and the NPP bundle). I noticed on their site it mentions the 5.9.7 update, that is also Leopard compatible. Is anyone using this new version of waves with Logic 8? I'm curious if I should wait on updating my plugs until all the kinks are out.
Thanks;
J.

Does FCP still take 30-45 minutes to load the Waves bundle? In my experience, it would launch eventually on some version combinations...
Even if you can use them in FCP, you would still see the numerical effects tab interface, instead of the nice skins you see in Logic. But at least you don't have to remember to drag them out of the plugins folder each time you want to launch FCP...
I'm interested about this because I teach FCP at a school where Logic, Pro Tools, and the Waves bundles are on the same student workstations - We'd have to move those Waves files around at the start and end of every class.

EMI 2/6, 6/2 etc. Anyone using these?

I'm ready to upgrade to Logic Studio and would like to know if the old Emi 2/6 (A 2/6) or 6/2 usb interfaces will work in Leopard with Logic Studio (or Express/Garageband)
Thanks

I have been using the a6|2m, but one of the last updates (I can't tell exactly which) have now made the interface unusable: After a few bars of recording, I get distortion and delay of 1/2 sec. Also, the Audio-Midi-Setup and Logic don't work together anymore, e.g. if I change in Audio-Midi-Setup to 2 recording channels, Logic still offers six (or if I change to 96kHz, Logic doesn't notice the change, which produces quite strange output).
Can anyone using the a6|2m confirm this problem?
I've tested the interface with an older system (10.4.9) and a PC, on both systems it worked perfectly, so hardware faults can be excluded.

Anyone using a 4K monitor with FCP X?

Is anyone using FCP X on a 4K monitor? I'm thinking about getting a Dell 4K monitor as my main monitor but I'm a little worried the user interface support on 4K is weak. I think everything is going to look super tiny.
Has anyone already experienced this?
Thanks!

So I have my new Mac Pro set up. 8-Core, 32 gigs RAM, Dual 700 GPUs, 512 gig internal Flash drive.
I purchased the 27" Thunderbolt display as my main Final Cut Pro X screen and I have the Dell UP2414q 4K monitor plugged in as the Viewer display.
I have the Dell set to "Best for Display" and it works fine. I have some 4480 x 1920 RED footage and I have the FCP X Viewers on the Dell. The footage is set to 100% and it bleeds a little off the sides, as it should since the monitor is 3820 wide. It's at its native resolution.
The user interface elements of the second monitor are at normal size - the menu bar, the FCP X view options. Buying a 4K monitor and using Best for Display gives you the desktop the size of a typical 1080 monitor, but it all looks like a Retina display. It's very crisp.
So if you want a second monitor to hold a ton of Adobe palettes, and have a very large desktop, I'd recommend getting a Thunderbolt display, beause this display behaves like a 1080 monitor in that regard. If you want a 4K monitor specifically for color grading 4K footage at the native size so you can see all the artifacts and things you wouldn't see with the footage at 50%, this Dell monitor is fine and it's $890 on Amazon. It's not a professional color grader's monitor, obviously, but it does well for me.
I took some 4480 x 1920 RED footage that had a sky that was gray (the famous Mercedes in the mountains footage). I used the color picker color correction in FCP X and was able to select that sky very easily. I can see why the fat 4K footage is so great in regards to color grading. Because you don't have the massive color gradiation and artifacts you get in the more compressed media, when you use the color picker, it selects a very large, clean, section of the sky. I was able to quickly make the sky more saturated and blue and play it in real time (Better Performance) it's it's perfectly clean with no halos around the tree branches as they move into the foreground of the sky. Very nice!
Nice feature in FCP X is all the effects, transitions, etc., have a "4K-ready content only" button at the top so it only presents you with effects and transitions that work with 4K footage.
It took a lot of time calibrating this Dell monitor. It has the Adobe RGC color space built in but when I set it to that and set the OS X Display color option to Adobe RGB, it all had a very slight purple/pink huge. Very slight. Whites were not pure white like they are on the Thunderbolt and my blue sky had a tinge of pink to it.
I calibrated it with advanced options in the OS X Display preferences. I then connected my Samsung HD LED TV into the HDMI port of the Mac Pro and set it as my A/V display in FCP X. I was able to do the custom color setting on the Dell monitor itself and lower the saturation and RGB values. It took about 15 minutes to get it looking right. Now, I don't see the very slight purple/pink tink. My blue sky looks blue, etc., and it looks exactly how it will look on DVD and Blu-ray and projectors at film festivals.
The Samsung LED TV was a breeze to use. As soon as I plugged it into the HDMI port of the Mac Pro, the displays changed and OS X went to 1920 x 1080 60hz. The color was set to an HD color preset (I forget the number and I disconnected it). Arranging the multiple monitors is as you'd expect, just works.
BTW, I have 2 10 TB 5Big Lacie Thunderbolt 2 hard drives. They are about $1K each at 10 TBs. I have one for my footage and one as a backup with Time Machine. No formatting necessary - just plug them in and go. I plugged in the first one, told OS X no for Time Machine. Plugged in the second one, told Time Machine yes. Renamed the second drive "Backup". I turned off hard drive sleep becuase it's annoying. You hear it spin up, spin down, spin up, etc. as you work.
I used the AJA benchmark and this is what I got with 16 gig test file, 4K video simulation:
Write 740.3 MB/s
Read: 849.1 MB/s
Fast!
FCP X loads in 4 seconds on this system off the internal Flash drive.
Cheers!
