Blackmagic Ultimatte12 User Manual Camera Control via Ultimatte 12 HD Mini

Connecting Ultimatte 12 HD Mini to a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera and an ATEM switcher lets you maintain camera control and tally.

Connecting via HDMI

1. Plug your Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera’s HDMI output into Ultimatte 12 HD Mini’s Camera FG HDMI input.

2. Connect the HDMI PGM OUT of your Ultimatte 12 HD Mini into the corresponding HDMI input on your ATEM switcher. We recommend matching your cameras with their corresponding input number. For example, camera 1 to input 1 and camera 2 to input 2.

HDMI is bidirectional so tally and camera control data is sent back to your camera using the same HDMI cable.

Connecting via SDI

1. Plug your Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera’s HDMI output into Ultimatte 12 HD Mini’s Camera FG HDMI input.

2. Connect the SDI PGM OUT of your Ultimatte 12 HD Mini into the corresponding SDI input on your ATEM switcher.

3. Using a second SDI cable, connect an output from your switcher to the SDI return input on Ultimatte 12 HD Mini.

   

4. Open Blackmagic Ultimatte Setup on your computer and set the camera ID in the ‘camera control’ section of the ‘setup’ tab.

   The camera ID number should match both the input number on your ATEM switcher and the camera ID number in your camera’s menu. This ensures camera control and tally is sent to the correct camera from the ATEM switcher.
