So I have SDI output, I just have no inputs.
#WHAT IS SCOPEBOX WINDOWS#
I agree with you that the build-in scopes from Avid need to be in separate windows so that you can put them in whatever size wherever you want. I am still using the UltraScope and it suits me well. The UltraScope has a sharper view, and a real Tektronix is sticking even more further out I guess. I haven't used the Avid ones anymore since a couple of years because they reacted too slow, so I don't know how they respond and look right now in the latest version. Scopes all work the same, but the Avid ones are too soft to watch at with their low resolution. They come at £589, but you also need an SDI output from your Avid.

All you need to do is take an SDI output from your Avid and feed it into the UltraScope.īlackmagic Design has SmartScope Duo 4K. It actually has nothing to do with Avid itself. Yes, you can run the discontinued UltraScope from Blackmagic Design with Avid Media Composer 2021. Most modern cheap PC's will run this card. You need a second computer with minimal specifications to run this card.
#WHAT IS SCOPEBOX INSTALL#
I also forgot to mention that you cannot install this in your editing machine.
#WHAT IS SCOPEBOX DRIVERS#
Yes, the UltraScope is just a PCIe card with drivers that you have to install. When you do not have an SDI output from you Avid system this is no solution. I'll try the NDI option though and get back to you I really wish we had a docking panel for scopes, that would solve this for me. Likewise, I don't have enough PCIe slots for a second I/O card. I don't think this would work as it has no inputs, only outputs.

I have the blackmagic decklink IO monitor. I should add that I've never tried these methods myself (as I have a Leader external scope), so it's all theory on my part!Īh I see. If you right-click on the HD/SW icon in MC, you should see the NDI option. Decklink SDI 4K), you link an output to the input and set the Omniscope to use the SDI input as it's source.Īvid also supports NDI fuctionality (since 2018.7) and should have been automatically installed (unless deliberately excluded), so it's possible you could use this device interface to input into Omniscope. I'm reading this as if you have an input/output card (eg. Input card - to receive the signal back in Nobe OmniScope Output card - to send the signal out of DaVinci Resolve To make it work you will need 2 I/O cards (or 1 multi I/O card - see below): This can be achieved by looping the SDI/HDMI signal back to the same computer so that the signal is visible to Nobe OmniScope. OmniScope can be used on the same system as your DaVinci Resolve installation without using the OFX plugin but rather through SDI/HDMI signal. But I didn't find it to be compatible with Avid Media Composer.
