Using SmartScope Duo

What is Blackmagic SmartScope?
Previously, broadcast quality television and post production scopes were incredibly expensive custom
solutions that only let you see one scope at a time on a tiny screen! Some scopes look ugly and don’t really
look good in front of your client.
With SmartScope Duo you get the addition of waveform monitors which allow you to see any aspect of your
video signal on your dual monitors in real time. Any adjustments made to the input signal in the Blackmagic
SmartView Utility can immediately be seen on SmartScope Duo! Furthermore, each input signal can be sent
to either monitor via the SDI loop out, meaning you can use the right hand monitor to display the scope for
the signal going into the left hand monitor.
The scopes displayed by SmartScope Duo are selected in the Blackmagic SmartView Utility software. Select
your scopes from the Display drop down menu in the Monitor Settings pane.
The following pages explain how each scope display is used, so you get a deeper understanding of how
each type of display can help you.
