Welcome to Blackmagic UltraScope!

We hope you share our dream for the television industry to become a truly creative industry by allowing 
anyone to have access to the highest quality video.

Previously broadcast quality television and post production scopes were incredibly expensive custom 
solutions that only let you see one scope at a time on a tiny screen! Some scopes look ugly and don’t really 
look good in front of your client. With Blackmagic UltraScope, you get 6 wonderful scopes that let you see 
all aspects of your video signals while you edit, color correct and perform quality control checks on your 
broadcast masters!

Now with new Pocket UltraScope you get the incredible features of UltraScope with a USB 3.0 connection 
so you can take anywhere, making it perfect for location shoots! Pocket UltraScope is incredibly easy and 
fast to install, simply connect the USB 3.0 cable into your compatible computer and a SDI cable to your 
deck or camera and away you go!

This instruction manual should contain all the information you’ll need for installing your Blackmagic 
UltraScope, although it’s always a good idea to ask a technical assistant for help if you have not installed 
hardware cards into computers before. We think it should take you approximately 10 minutes to complete 
installation. As Blackmagic UltraScope uses your computer’s 3D acceleration, you will need a compatible 
graphics card. More information on compatible graphics and computer systems can be found at  

www.blackmagic-design.com/support/

Before you install UltraScope, please check our website at 

www.blackmagic-design.com

 and click the 

support page to download the latest updates to this manual and the UltraScope software. Lastly, please 
register your UltraScope when downloading software updates. We would love to keep you updated on 
new software updates and new features for your UltraScope.

We are constantly working on new features and improvements, so we would love to hear from you!
