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
Yann-David Urbanowicz

Cannot get adat channels 5 through 8 to produce signal in logic

Recently bought an audient as880 going in to a universal audio apollo twin, I receive and hear signal on the console adat 1 through to 8 yet even with armed tracks correct input selected I cannot get adat channels 5 through 8 to produce signal in logic

I am recording at 44.1, I receive signal but only through channels 3 and 4 and no others regardless which channel is selected.
The word clock is on the Ua as this is the master the 880 can only be a slave.
Thanks for coming back I appreciate the feedback
Well, I don't know if this is your problem but you should have a single lightpipe cable coming out of the 880 into the Apollo, correct?
The 880 should be set to Internal clock 44.1 the Apollo should sync to clock that's coming in on the lightpipe cable.
What I described is the standard correct method for connecting two digital units in the configuration you're using.
The Apollo can sync to external clock can't it. Also, if the Apollo has digital settings make sure they're on "8-ch ADAT" not s/pdif. (which is stereo two channel input)
The problems you're describing could be caused by not having the clocks set correctly.

How to get audio to play through TV?

I have a Thunderbolt to HDMI cable and can only get video to show up on my HDTV screen. I am trying to get audio to play through the TV as well, but it only plays through my Macbook Pro. Any suggestions?

Hi ajlarson6,
I found some information concerning the settings that need to be in place to play audio through a TV:

DV7t-1285DX - 3 speakers, only 2 work (right, left channel out through subwoofer)

So I recently purchased a DV7t, and while I love the machine I'm having an issue with the speakers. Windows Vista Ultimate 64 is only detected two speakers no matter what drivers I'm using (including latest IDT release). I get right channel sound through the right speaker, left channel sound through the subwoofer, and no sound at all through the left speaker. I've tried different drivers and what have you, so far no joy.
This question was solved.

Ok, so I bit the bullet and dissassembled my notebook today. As I was putting it back together, I realized that one of the prongs in the speaker plug (male reciever, on the mainboard) was bent neatly upwards. I carefully bent it back into place, got everything put back together, and now all three channels work! While this might be the issue in all cases, it fixed the problem for me. If you try it yourself, be very very careful when you try to bend the prong back into place, they break off easily and unexpectedly, and if you break yours off it's shot for good. Good luck.

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.

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.

Getting audio to play through computer speakers

Hi
Ive got an external NSTC monitor and im trying to get the sound to match up with the video on it. If i do audio follows video, then the sound comes out of the monitor which sounds like crap because it has bad speakers. If i make the audio come out of my computer speakers, then it is out of sync with the video on the external monitor. i guess i could get a bunch of cords from radio shack and get a splitter and plug the computer and the audio into my computer speakers, but i was wondering if there was a way within final cut to get the audio to play in sync but not through the external monitor's audio.

well i do have good speakers<<</div>
Good speakers and good monitors for editing work usually aren't the same thing. In post work, either video or audio, the audio monitors need to have a flat response; they should not color the sound in any way. That's the only way you know what the true audio will sound like.
Most speakers, including computer speakers do color the sound; some quite a bit, especially in the low end.
Nearfield monitors do provide a flat response and are designed for use in recording studios and edit suites for critical listening. When working in FCP, the ideal setup is to ALWAYS monitor your audio and video through the same path out from the computer, converted to analog and then the video going to an properly calibrated external TV monitor and the audio going to the audio monitors.

Can't get Audio to play through when importing using iMovie '09

Anyone know how to get audio to work when importing DV footage into iMovie '09.
It used to work fine in iMovie HD. Any ideas??
Yours sincerely,
Anthony
Irish MacUser & MacAddict

I've just spent a while trying to figure this out ...
I used this feature (monitoring audio on import) all the time in previous versions of iMovie ...
Kind of essential I think ...
Now we have a new 'feature' in iMovie where you can't monitor audio during import.
Wouldn't it be nice if Apple documented this somewhere (maybe on iMovie Help ...).
I understand about hi-speed import from other (non DV) formats ...
So why not just let the user hit the 'mute' button if they don't want to listen to audio on import ?
Pretty simple - rather than having this somewhat arbitrary rule imposed on iMovie users ?
The only way to monitor audio during import is to plug headphones into the camera itself.
Which means we are wearing a thing with a wire attached - making the BT headset capability of the Mac somewhat redundant.
Oh well ... one step forward, one step back.

Audio channels out of sync

I suddenly have one audio channel that is out of synch with the other audio channel. . The out of sync audio channel shows +5.22. The other audio channel does not show it is out of sync, but the video channel shows the same red +5.22.
I tried to lock the vidio and the clear audio channel, and then select the out of sync audio channel to move it into sync with the other audio channel. However, the locked channels were also selected so I could not move only the out of sync audio channel.
I hope I have explained this clearly enough. Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

Piero's is the way to do it. It sounds as if the sequence has been badly messed up. You may need to switch off stereo pairs if that's on, or switch off linked selection, move the items into sync. If there are items in the way you may have to spread items onto multiple tracks.
All the best,

Unable to capture via Blackmagic UltraStudio Express

Hi,
I'm having trouble capturing into Premiere Pro via UltraStudio Express.
I have a macbook pro 15” retina, Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014, Desktop Video 10.1.4 (installed after PP), Ultrastudio Express, Ultrastudio Mini Monitor, Media Express, DaVinci Resolve 11 Lite.
I can capture from a camera via SDI into Media Express.
I can use LiveView and get monitor output with Resolve.
In Premiere Pro preferences, Device Control I can see 'Blackmagic Device Control'.
But I can't get any capture in Premiere Pro. Following the directions in Desktop Video Manual February 2014, as I setup a new project in Premiere Pro, I click on ‘Settings’ under ‘capture’, but get no feedback. If I proceed into a project, go to capture, I see no video from the connected camera.
Any advice would be wonderful. I’m trying to use this system for a green screen shoot on Monday.

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

One audio channel out (right) on iPad mini

I have only the right channel audio output on iPad mini headphone jack. Both speakers work. Same with music or video. Any help?

Try cleaning out the headphone jack with compressed air. If the problem continues try another set of ear buds. If the problem still persists, contact apple support for further troubleshooting. Hope it helps!

Cannot get audio to come through the TV through DTV connection

Purchased a DTV connection to the serial cable and plugged it into my TV. The video comes through but no audio. How do I get the audio to work on the TV instead of the Macbook when plugged into the TV?

How to get audio to play through speakers

I have a Vizeo TV smart monitor, an Apple TV (of course), and a DVD/Receiver. A nice set of speakers are hooked up to the DVD player.
I introduced the Apple TV to this family recently. The Apple radio stations played through the speaker in the Vizeo TV and was not so good. Then I bought a optical video cable and used it to connect Apple TV to the DVD receiver. That worked brilliantly for a while and the blues songs from the blues station on Apple TV was coming through in full stereo through the speakers.
This worked for a while but more recently when I turned the system on again to listen to the same station, the sound was coming through the tv monitor's single speaker, not my mildly expensive nice ones. Does anyone know what's going on? btw Apple TV is connected to the tv monitor on HDMI3 and I have tuned the monitor to HDMI3 so that should be consistent.
Thanks,
Bill

that what you're asking is why the original appletv the alu one don't support airplay when
the airport express do right?
guess it's a choice from apple maybe it required a software update as airplay was "invented" long after the last atv1g os update and rolling out an os update for a discontinued product as the
first appletv was osX and intel x86 based
and it's replacement atv2 is ios and Arm based

Can't get audio to record through mic jack

I have a 1/8" (3.5mm) stereo jack cable connected between the headphones jack of one computer and the mic jack of my MacBook Pro. I'm trying to import sound into Garage Band and I simply CANNOT figure out how to make this work. GarageBand only wants to import from the mic in the front of the my laptop.
I've tried all 3 input settings (mono-1 built in, mono-2 built in, stereo 1/2 built in) and none of them seem to work.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

I am using a bluetooth enabled audio speaker,how do i get audio back out of my ipad once disconnected?

vvvvvv

First, we are all users her. Apple makes only an occasional appearance. Second, if you want help, we can do that, but you will need to settle down and provide more information on the problem and what you have tried to do to fix it. Threatening abandoning your iPad doesn't help you solve the issues you are facing.
What app were you using when it crashed?
Is your iPad usable now?
If yes, what did you do to fix it? If no, what have you done to TRY and fix it?
The more details you can provide, the better we can help narrow down the problem and recommend a solution.
