The front USB-C port provides the same functionality as the rear ports, as well as the ability to connect to a Mac or Windows for software updates and configuration using the Ultimatte Setup utility.

Smart Remote 4 features a 10.1 inch touchscreen for quickly navigating menus and adjusting settings, along with hard buttons with online and on air indicators for quickly switching between units. The file clear button automatically adjusts the most important settings to, Blackmagic design claims, “instantly give you incredible composites!”
