Saving and Loading Preset Files
Touching the folder symbol in the files and information section will open the files window which
gives access to all file management functions. Additionally, an on screen keyboard will appear
under the files window so you can enter file names. If you want to use an external keyboard,
you can plug in a USB keyboard via the USB ports on the Smart Remote 4.
To save a file:
1 If the new file name is a modification of an existing one, select that file name from the
list by highlighting it.
2 Touch the display in the filename box inside the files window. The prompter will appear.
3
Using the on screen keyboard, or an external keyboard, make the desired file
name changes.
4
If a completely new name will be added, press the backspace key on the keyboard
to erase the existing file name. Alternately, touching and moving a finger or a stylus
across the file name will highlight the name so that it can be over written.
5 Using the on screen keyboard, or an external keyboard, type the desired file name.
6 Press the ‘save’ button inside the files window. The status bar will display ‘saving’
until the process is completed. The new name will appear in the saved files list.
7 Press the close button to exit the files window.
To load a saved file:
1 From the saved files list, touch the file name to be loaded. The name will be
highlighted, and will be displayed in the filename box.
2 If the timing settings need to be loaded as part of the selected file, select the
‘with timing’ checkbox.
3 Press the load button to load the selected file into the current settings.
4 The selected file name will appear in the status bar as the ‘active file’.
5 Press the close button to exit the files window.
When a file is saved, all setup parameters are saved in it, including system timing settings.
When these timing setting are loaded, the system will use these settings to adjust its timing.
The process of adjusting the system timing will cause interruptions to the output video signals.
In most studio setups, once the entire system timing is adjusted, it does not change. Therefore,
once Blackmagic Ultimatte 12’s timing is set, there is no need to adjust it in day to day
operations.
When loading a file, if the saved timing settings are ignored, your Blackmagic Ultimatte 12
will maintain its current timing setup, and the output video signals will not be interrupted.
The process of loading or ignoring the saved timing settings is controlled by the checkbox,
named ‘With Timing’, next to the load button.
If the ‘with timing’ checkbox is not checked, then the selected file will not change the system
timing when loaded. After loading the file, the checkbox will be cleared.
