Installation Requirements for Windows
The Blackmagic UltraScope software interface requires a computer display with a minimum resolution
of 1280 x 800 pixels to view two scopes simultaneously. Blackmagic Design recommends viewing all
6 scopes simultaneously by using a computer display resolution of 1920 x 1200 or 1920 x 1080 pixels.
Blackmagic UltraScope includes the UltraScope hardware and a software package which consists of the
Blackmagic UltraScope utility and driver. It does not matter in which order the hardware and software
are installed.
Pocket UltraScope hardware connects via USB 3.0. Older computers only have USB 2.0 ports and it is
essential that that Pocket UltraScope directly connects to a dedicated USB 3.0 port.
Blackmagic UltraScope hardware is a x1 lane PCI Express card and should work in any x1, x4, x8 or x16
lane PCI Express slot. Blackmagic UltraScope works in PCI Express and PCI Express 2.0 slots.
A x16 lane PCI Express 2.0 slot is required for the graphics card in your computer. The latest list of
compatible graphics cards can be found in the support pages at
www.blackmagic-design.com . Full
frame-rate HD monitoring of all 6 scopes requires either an Nvidia GeForce 9800 GT or faster, or
an ATI Radeon 4670 or faster graphics card. Suitable graphics cards can be purchased for less than
US$100. More expensive graphics cards are no guarantee of compatibility. It is essential to check the
list of compatible graphics cards before buying a graphics card for use with Blackmagic UltraScope.
If you launch the Blackmagic UltraScope utility with an incompatible graphics card installed, you may
encounter an error message similar to that pictured on this page. The solution is to replace the graphics
card with a compatible graphics card.
Please see the support pages at

for a comprehensive list of the latest,
minimum system requirements for Mac OS X and Windows.
Installing the UltraScope card in your PC
Blackmagic UltraScope installs in to your computer in just the same way as any regular PCI Express card.
However the fiber optic module must be temporarily removed from the card before attempting to install
the card in a PCI Express slot. This is because the location of the protruding fiber optic module makes it
awkward to install the card in the PCI ports of many computer cases. Temporarily removing the fiber optic
module overcomes this obstacle to installation. The fiber optic module is a standard SFP transceiver
module which includes an LC connector port for attaching fiber optic cables. While other kinds of
optical connectors exist, the SMPTE standard for Optical Fiber SDI specifies that LC type optical fiber
connectors be used and this makes it easy for all compliant optical equipment to connect together.
