Yes, the last two revisions of drivers enabled a way to save the ‘startup presets’ via the software control panel. It won’t save anything from the media pool, but both upstream and downstream keyers, as well as other settings, are saved and retained on restart.
Also added was the ability to re-map inputs to the keys, which is also retained on startup.

Obviously the GT120 and GTX 285 are not the same card. That’s irrelvant. Just because a card isn’t ‘certified’ for use doesn’t mean it won’t work. I use ‘noncertified’ cards with Adobe’s Mercury engine and it works just fine.
The specs of the GT120 meet the requirements posted on the page as far as texture fill rate and OpenGL version. There is a high likelyhood that the GT120 would work with the UltraScope. Unless someone has tried it and it specifically doesn’t, you can’t really just throw out a blanket ‘no’.

In that case, you may want to see about building a patch panel for the connections you need to frequently change, or your own custom breakout box.

Could you elaborate, Bob? According to the specs on BMD’s site, the UltraScope is not ‘qualified’ for use with the GT120’s but the specs of the GT120 are more than those requested on BMD’s support note related to graphic requirements.
To the original poster, the specs for Mac can be found in these two articles: https://blackmagic-design.com/support/detail/supportnotes/?sid=3956&pid=4022&os=mac

I don’t believe there is a ‘box’ available for the Decklink Studio, however there is a rather large breakout cable. I was able to order the cable for a Decklink HD Extreme 3D card via Markertek for about $100. You may try calling them and see if they can get one for you.

The list of supported applications is on the product page of Blackmagic’s Site.

It will not work with Quicktime, VLC, or DivX software. It should work with the codecs when used with the appropriate editing software, however.

Really depends on what you want to accomplish. For our use, the cost of the Ultrascope was much less than a rasterizer. We don’t have room for a ‘traditional’ size Wfm/Vector in our environment, and the LCD models are out of our current price range.
For $700 (or whatever it cost) and an old computer, it was well worth it.

I’ll start off with: If you already have a Decklink card in the system, you can’t also run an Ultrascope. The drivers won’t install with both cards in the same system. (Or something like that, either way, it won’t work)
The Ultrascope (PCIe version, anyway) accepts either HD/SD SDI or Fiber. There’s a loop-thru output of the SDI, but that’s it. It has an Audio phasescope, which only works with embedded audio.

You should just need to flip DIP #4 to the UP position for S-Video. (And #5 should also be up) All the others can be left at the defaults.
Also, is your HMX100 running in SD mode?
-
Something in your setup isn’t right. It should say something about “Preferences for your Decklink SDI” along the top, not ‘No Settings Required’.
Look in your device manager and make sure there isn’t an error with the Decklink. Or, if you have one, try another PCIe slot. It’s almost like the system isn’t detecting the card.
