Hey,

I saw that Blackmagic's UltraStudio HD Mini is suppose to separate key and fill from one SDI input. Have anyone tried how it works to run vMix graphics through it, delivering it to for example an ATEM switcher?

Thanks in advance!

It outputs 2 sdi signals one for fill and one for key , you have to feed them both into your atem and set the DSK in the atem to use them appropriately,

It works well I do it all the time

Do you mean vMix or the UltraStudio Mini? Do I understand it correctly, that vMix outputs 1 SDI for the graphics, and you send it to the UltraStudio, and then send the 2 SDI, the key and fill from the UltraStudio to the switcher?

This works perfect. In the external settings, under audio, set alphachannel to straight(according to vmix)
I have a ultrastudio mini and a Thunderbolt disclosure with a decklink duo2. Works on both.

Thanks! He's doing it with a DeckLink Duo though. Do you know how it works with the UltraStudio? Can you use a UltraStudio Mini Monitor, or AJA IO-4K to output the SDI signal into the UltraStudio in that case? Or do I send the video to the UltraStudio through Thunderbolt?

Connect the Ultrastudio via Thunderbolt. Install the desktop video software from Blackmagic on the Thunderbolt computer so that the computer recognizes the Ultrastudio. Then, as described, in the external output in vMix, external renderer on, device = ultrastudio mini, Alpha Channel on straight, then switch on external output.
FILL appears on the SDI connector A
and
KEY appears on the SDI connector B.
you don't need any other hardware. The interface has one input and one output, via Thunderbolt. However, the output is fill&key capable. If Alpha CHannel is set to none, then the same one signal comes out of SDI connector A & B.
