6 Video Inputs
Each source input used in a composite should be carefully planned, so the elements
that build your shot can be arranged into specific layers. Each source should be the
same video format and connected to its determined source input so you always know
where everything is, and you can manage your composite more effectively.
All inputs and outputs support SD and HD. Ultimatte 12 and Ultimatte 12 4K support
Ultra HD. Ultimatte 12 8K has additional support for 8K formats.
Background Input
The background input is the image you want to use as the background for your
composite. Depending on the Ultimatte model you are using, plug the background
input into the BG IN or Background connector. You can also select a still from the media
pool to use as a background.
Background Matte Input
If you want to extract a section of the background to use as a foreground element,
choose a still from the media store or plug the background matte source into the
BG MATTE IN connector.
Garbage Matte Input
A garbage matte allows you to exclude areas of a source so they are not included in
your composite, for example lights or gripping equipment visible around the edges of
your foreground image. To add a garbage matte plug a source containing an externally
generated garbage matte into the G MATTE IN connector. You can also select a still
from the media pool to use as a garbage matte.
Camera Foreground Input
Plug the foreground image you want to composite over the top of the background into
the FG IN or Camera FG connector. The foreground image is typically the talent in front
of a green screen.
Holdout Matte Input
A holdout matte lets you define an area of the foreground that you do not want to be
keyed out, for example a green logo on the front of a desk. To add a holdout matte
select a still from the media pool or plug a source containing an externally generated
holdout matte into the H MATTE IN connector.
Layer Input
The layer input is for any additional video or graphics you want to add to your composite.
You can also select a still from the media pool to use as a layer.
Layer Matte Input
Similar to other matte inputs, this input lets you connect an externally generated matte
so you can precisely add the layer input source into your composite. You can also
select a still from the media pool to use as a layer matte.
Return
The 'return' connector on the rear panel of Ultimatte 12 HD Mini is for connecting camera
control and tally data from an SDI ATEM switcher. For more information, refer to the
'Camera Control via Ultimatte 12 HD Mini' section for more information.
Monitor Input
The monitor input is important for daisy chaining to other Ultimatte units when using the
powerful monitor cascade feature. Refer to the 'settings' section for more information.
