Possible? UltraStudio SDI to do BMCC monitoring with Tablet

PostMon Oct 07, 2013 9:18 pm

Hello,

Can the UltraStudio SDI be used to do monitoring on the BMCC live on set?

- Powered by USB / No AC plug needed
- Realtime monitoring on the Laptop
- Fullscreen Monitoring
- Not too powerhungry (Atom Quadcore fast enough)

Thanks.

Best Regards

None of the Blackmagic capture cards will do full screen monitoring out of the box. Media Express is the only software that comes with the card and it only works to save a copy to the hard drive and will NOT put the video full screen. Also there will be a few frames of delay so it's not real time, and you can't use more than one Media Express at a time on the same computer reliably.

It is better to buy an actual monitor.
