Blackmagic Ultimatte12 User Manual Customizing the Menus

You can change the assignment of the Ultimatte Software Control and Smart Remote 4 control knobs and buttons in the ‘settings/custom menus’ settings.

To set a custom menu:

1. Go to the ‘settings’ menu.

2. Click on the ‘custom menus’ button.

3. Choose one of the four custom menu presets you want to set.

4. A new ‘configure’ button will appear just above the custom menu preset buttons. Click this ‘configure’ button. The custom menu setup dialog box will appear.

The control knob functions are in the left side column, and you can set a function from that column to each of the eight slots on the right side column. The eight slots correspond to the control knobs as follows:

Item 1 = Top left control.
Item 2 = Left second control down.
Item 3 = Left third control down.
Item 4 = Left bottom control.
Item 5 = Top right control.
Item 6 = Right second control down.
Item 7 = Right third control down.
Item 8 = Right bottom control.

To assign functions to each control knob:

1. From the ‘knobs’ list, scroll up and down the list of functions and select a function from the list.

2. Click on the right arrow icon in the middle column that corresponds to the desired slot. You will see the name of the selected control appear in the blank slot.

   TIP If you change your mind and want to assign a different function to that slot, simply click the left arrow to remove that function form the slot and assign a different function.

3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 as you progress through all the slots to assign your custom functions to each control knob.

4. Click on the ‘buttons’ tab to assign the buttons. Follow the same procedure as shown above to set the buttons controls.

5. When you are happy with your selections, click ‘apply’.

You will now see all your customized controls on the interface.

If you are moving through other menus and want to return to your custom menus, you can enable them by clicking ‘custom menus’ in the groups section, then press the desired custom menu button. You will now see all the controls and functions buttons change back to your custom selection.
