Setting The Main Unit's Ip Address On Smart Remote 4; Ultimatte Compositing Workflow - Blackmagicdesign Smart Remote 4 Operation Manual

Setting the Main Unit's IP Address on Smart Remote 4

With your Smart Remote 4 now ready to control your Ultimatte main units, you will need to tell
the smart remote where they are by setting their unit IP addresses in the Smart Remote 4
control panel.
To do this:
1 In the status bar, tap on a unit ID number to open the unit IP configuration window.
2 In the 'model' column, tap on the desired unit number's drop down menu and select
Ultimatte 12.
3 Now set the IP address for the desired main unit using the software keyboard.
4 Tap 'apply' to confirm the settings.
If you look at the status bar, you will now see that unit number illuminated green. This means
the unit is online and ready to be controlled.
Repeat the same steps to set the IP address for each unit on your network.

Ultimatte Compositing Workflow

Now that you're familiar with using the Smart Remote 4 to control your Ultimatte 12, and have
pressed the file clear button to set an automatic starting composite, you can start finessing
and refining your composite using Ultimatte's features and settings.
As you refine your composite, it is helpful to move back and forth between monitoring the
combined matte view and the program output so you can optimize the matte, plus see how it
is working in the final composite.
When adjusting controls, it's worth mentioning that you can restore any control back to its
default state by double tapping the respective control.
You can also save your workflow to quick save points. As you change settings and make
improvements, it's helpful to switch between save points to compare and assess what has
changed in order to achieve the best possible settings.
To save a quick save, hold down the 'alt' button and press a quick save button. To load a quick
save, simply press the desired quick save button.
TIP The quick save and quick load points are stored in volatile memory so they are O N L I N E
available only until you power down your Ultimatte. To store settings permanently,
1
you can save a file that can be loaded again after power cycling. Refer to the 'saving
and loading preset files' section for more information.
