Blackmagic Ultimatte12 User Manual Archives

An archive is a backup of your Ultimatte that includes its current state, all settings, presets and the contents of the media pool. Creating an archive of your Ultimatte is useful if you regularly switch between different productions or if you are setting up additional Ultimatte units.

Archives are interchangable between Ultimatte models.
