Plugging in your computer
You can configure SmartView or SmartScope monitor settings by connecting to your computer locally with
USB 2.0 and installing the Blackmagic SmartView Utility.
This same USB cable can be used for applying occasional internal software updates downloaded from the
Blackmagic Design website. Software updates can provide new features, compatibility with new hardware
and support for new formats. The Blackmagic SmartView Utility software runs on both Mac OS X and
Windows computers.
Your computer display resolution needs to be 1280 x 800 or higher to display the Blackmagic
SmartView Utility.
Installing the Blackmagic SmartView Utility
If you wish to adjust monitor settings on SmartView or SmartScope, or select a scope on SmartScope Duo,
you will need to install the Blackmagic SmartView Utility software.
The Blackmagic SmartView Utility runs on the latest Lion and Mountain Lion versions of Mac OS X. On the
Windows platform, the Blackmagic SmartView Utility runs on both 32 and 64-bit versions of Windows 7 and
Windows 8 with the latest service packs installed. Testing on previous versions of these operating systems
is not conducted so it is always best to keep up to date with the latest versions of Mac OS X and Windows.
The Blackmagic SmartView Utility only needs to be installed on one computer but can be installed on
multiple networked computers if desired.
While the DVD supplied with SmartView contains the software installer, we recommend you visit
www.blackmagicdesign.com to ensure you have the latest version.
On Mac OS X, open the supplied DVD, or downloaded disk image, and drag the Blackmagic SmartView
Utility to your Applications folder.
On Windows, open the supplied DVD, or downloaded zip file, and double-click on the SmartView installer.
Follow the onscreen prompts to install the software
