Welcome

Welcome to UltraStudio Pro.

We hope you share our dream for the television industry to become a truly creative industry by allowing

anyone to have access to the highest quality video.

Blackmagic UltraStudio Pro is the ﬁrst uncompressed editing solution that connects via the new

SuperSpeed USB (USB 3.0) found on the latest computers. USB 3.0 is easy and you can just plug in your

UltraStudio Pro. Previously high end television and post production required investment in millions of

dollars of hardware. However with UltraStudio Pro and USB 3.0, even 10 bit uncompressed high deﬁnition

TV is now easily affordable.

We hope you get years of use from your new UltraStudio Pro and have fun working with some of the world’s

hottest television and design software!

This instruction manual should contain all the information you’ll need to connect UltraStudio Pro to your

computer and video hardware. As UltraStudio Pro uses uncompressed video and the data rates are quite

high, you’ll need fast disk storage.

We think it should take you approximately 5 minutes to complete installation. Before you connect

UltraStudio Pro, please check our website at www.blackmagic-design.com and click the support page

to download the latest updates to this manual and UltraStudio Pro driver software. Lastly, please register

your UltraStudio Pro when downloading software updates. We would love to keep you updated on new

software updates and new features for your UltraStudio Pro. Perhaps you can even send us your latest show

reel of work completed on your UltraStudio Pro and any suggestions for improvements to the software.

We are constantly working on new features and improvements, so we would love to hear from you!

Installation

Before Connecting UltraStudio Pro to your USB 3.0 computer

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

USB 3.0 hardware requires the latest versions of USB 3.0 software drivers and ﬁrmware to enable the

high speed performance required for high deﬁnition video capture and playback.

While most new motherboards and computers are now shipping with suitable versions of USB 3.0

software drivers and ﬁrmware, it is very important to ensure you have installed the latest versions

before installing your Blackmagic Design USB 3.0 product. Please download the latest USB 3.0 drivers

and ﬁrmware, for your USB 3.0 motherboard or computer, from the vendor’s website.

Installation

Connect the included SuperSpeed USB 3.0 cable to

UltraStudio Pro and to your computer.

Connect the professional breakout cable to UltraStudio Pro.

Connecting UltraStudio Pro

1. Connect the included power supply to UltraStudio Pro. Switch on the power.

2. Use the included SuperSpeed USB 3.0 cable to connect UltraStudio Pro directly to a dedicated

USB 3.0 port on your computer.

3. If UltraStudio Pro software has previously been installed and offers to update the ﬁrmware, click

Update to run the update. When the ﬁrmware update is ﬁnished, the onscreen instructions will

prompt you to power the UltraStudio Pro off and on.

UltraStudio Pro is now ready for use. The professional breakout cable can be connected to UltraStudio Pro

at any time using the multi-pin connector. The connection diagrams toward the end of this manual show

how to connect UltraStudio Pro to many kinds of video equipment.
