System
Video Format
Select your video format from the drop down menu, or set it to 'auto detect'.
3G SDI Outputs
Ultimatte will detect a level A or level B 3G-SDI input automatically. The output is set to level B
by default, but you can change it to level A if needed.
To change the 3G-SDI output to level A or B:
1
Go to the 'configure' menu on your Smart Remote 4.
2
Tap on the 'system' button. A window will appear with
checkboxes for level A and Level B 3G-SDI.
3
Tap the desired level checkbox, then tap 'apply' to confirm
the setting. Tap 'close' to exit the window.
Color Space
Ultimatte 12 can be set to use the Rec.709 or Rec. 2020 color gamut. While both can be used
for Ultra HD, HD only uses Rec.709. For this reason, Rec. 709 is Ultimatte 12's default color
gamut, but you can set the color space setting to Rec. 709 or Rec. 2020 for Ultra HD. When
Rec. 2020 is selected, all input signals must comply with Rec. 2020, and all output signals will
conform accordingly. When your Ultimatte 12 detects standard definition, it will automatically set
the color gamut to Rec. 601 so you don't have to change the setting when using SD video.
To set the color space:
1
Go to the 'configure' menu on your Smart Remote 4.
2
Tap on the 'system' button. A window will appear with
checkboxes for Rec. 709 and Rec. 2020
3
Tap the color space checkbox, then tap 'apply' to confirm
the setting. Tap 'close' to exit the window.

Inputs
The inputs menu gives you access to the timing controls if you need to delay the foreground
input to be synced with the background signal and to make subtle timing corrections to a
source input signal.
Frame Delay Foreground Input
This control will set the number of frame delays to the foreground input. The control
range is from 0 frames to 14 Frames.
In a 4:2:2 signal, the relative timing samples between luma and the chroma, or Y and UV
respectively, are well defined. However, some cameras might have some amount of relative
luma or chroma timing error. When viewed on a monitor as red, green or blue only, the image
will look like an 'embossed' picture. This timing error will cause unnatural transitions and off
color edges.
