I'm glad I didn't pay more money for pocket ultrascope when it's essentially been useless for 6 months. Where is the fix BMD guys? Has anyone found a workaround?
Regrettably, there are still problems. I'm really disappointed with the way Blackmagic has failed to address this issue at a time when it manages to fanfare a load of "exciting" new products. How many of them will work straight from the box? I wonder................
The Ultrascope has the potential to be a really great means of checking all manner of parameters, both on a shooting location and in post-production. However, a number of really annoying problems have led me to believe that I really shouldn't waste my money until I know for sure something is reliable. As an example, I recent upgrade to the Teranex software led me to believe that I could open the Ultrascope software as well as Media Express when digitising footage through the Teranex 2D (I want to have the full set of scopes on an extension monitor during capture in real-time) but it just will not open at all and keeps crashing out when I try and do so. It's really, really annoying!
I'm on the verge of ditching the idea and going for a 3rd party solution which will take a SDI output from the Teranex and display scopes via HDMI on an external monitor. DataVideo make a portable scope that will do this, although I won't be able to see all the scopes at the same time.
Blackmagic Teranex 2D, Ultrastudio Express, Intensity Shuttle (Thunderbolt), Two H.264 Pro Recorders (Mac OSX) & lots of old VTRs used for digital archiving of legacy video formats for major libraries, broadcasters, universities and public archives.
