[Avid-L2] RE: Anyone love or hate the Blackmagic Ultrascope?

 

Agreed.  Good for general use -- but not on-par with dedicated scopes.


It does scale nicely in a facility where every room does not require scopes at the same time -- and where HD-SDI has been homerun to a central machine room.  In that scenario, the Ultrascope computing platform simply lives in the machine room and every studio can access it using a KVM Extender over Cat5/6. 


Alternatively, you could purchase the PocketScope and a qualified laptop -- and just move the laptop around as needed.


If you're formulating a CapEx budget, be sure to include the cost of a fully-qualified hardware configuration, as UltraScope (PCIe or USB3) does not play nice with many computing platforms.  I learned this lesson the hard way.

It's fine for general use I have one on my smoke but I really wish I could get the resolve scope as a standalone.

I'm creating my 2014 tech budget and a recent project reminded me that we REALLY need something like this.

Please let me know if you love it or hate it and why.

Thanks!
