Ultrastudio SDI – Working?

[Peter Berg]

Hi Sarah,

Thank you for the quick response. I wasn’t sure if you guys forgot about this one. I hope you can let them know that it’s still a big issue and makes the Studio 2 card not nearly as multi-functional as it seems like it should be.

I usually try to check the readme files for the new updates.. will the fix be listed there when the are able to address this problem?

I do hope this can be addressed soon. It’s not just a minor annoyance but it stops us from being able to use this card at all.

Thank you again for the quick reply.

Hi Peter,

I couldn’t say if this would be specifically listed in the Readme file. Not all fixes are outright listed and sometimes get bundled under a general improvements type description. I’ll try to keep an eye on this one and if it doesn’t get specifically listed I’ll try to post here.

I have the same issue with no (easy) way to monitor live audio thru the Windows apps that are capturing via the USB 3.0 port on my Toshiba Satellite laptop. I spent an afternoon messing with my audio device settings in Windows, but no luck. In Livestream you can go to the audio mixer and click on the “headset audio” button and hear the live audio. But, that’s ONLY in Livestream. Does not offer live audio thru the Media Express app, although it shows VU’s pumping and records fine. (frustrating) If they can add an “audio record device” that installs in Windows, that would fix it. Maybe a mini jack audio out on the box for Ch 1&2 monitoring?

The Ultrastudio SDI is an EXCELLENT tool for simple ingest of HD SDI A/V for Livestream because it’s “certified” by Livestream. You can stream and capture H.264 proxies while you’re recording HD on camera cards. If you want to encode higher than 3000kbps then you’ll need more processing speed than an i7 laptop. A desktop with a multi-port 3.0 card and a raid drive.
