Asking this question as even now the BMDCC pages say:
Blackmagic UltraScope provides technically accurate waveform monitoring with a beautifully designed computer interface. Connect Blackmagic Cinema Camera to any compatible computer using Thunderbolt technology to display 6 live scope views on a single monitor! Use UltraScope on set or in any location for Parade, Waveform, Vectorscope and Histogram signal measurement. UltraScope includes picture view, audio level and phase monitoring!
The manual makes no mention of windows in the ultrascope chapter, is this an oversight?
Will windows users be able to use ultrascope?

I believe it is omitted because we don't officially support Thunderbolt on a PC yet. We're still working on that. But as you know, the other Ultrascope products were primarily PC focused.

Would it be possible to purchase USB3 hardware cost (super duper discount), to enable windows users to get started?
I realise it's an additional cost to you guys in hardware .. what say the directors?

Does the Pocket UltraScope work with any PC laptops? USB3.0 would do the deed for virtually all of we PC folks. How about a sweetheart deal? Please...

There are "Intel Thunderbolt Certified" motherboards for PCs actually.
Then Ultrascope can be used in a windows environment I guess.

At some point in the future...maybe. But the Pocket UltraScope USB3.0 would be a solution for today's PC laptops because most of them support USB3.0. I'm sure there are many problems that I don't understand or the Pocket UltraScope would be working like a charm on USB3.0 equipped PC laptops.

About desktop windows-based PCs ( and not laptops),
the Asus P8Z77-V Pro Thunderbolt seems to be a very good choice.
This card just need a good Blackmagic Design Certification,
in order to be sure that it works perfectly with Ultrascope
( and other Blackmagic Design products of course).
