Blackmagic Design Spares - UltraStudio 4K Mini - LCD

the Blackmagic Design UltraStudio 4K Mini - LCD is the official replacement display module for the UltraStudio 4K Mini capture and playback interface. This genuine spare part is designed to restore the front-panel monitoring capabilities of the device, allowing users to view video input/output, audio levels, and status metadata without needing an external monitor.

High-Resolution Color Monitoring

The replacement LCD is a high-quality color panel that matches the original factory specifications. It is essential for verifying signal integrity in the field or the machine room. The display provides critical real-time information, including:

• Video Preview: Visual confirmation of the incoming or outgoing video signal.

• Audio Meters: High-accuracy VU or Peak meters for monitoring audio levels on captured or played-back clips.

• Status Metadata: Displays current video format, frame rate, and timecode information.

Integrated Interface Design

The LCD is engineered to work seamlessly with the UltraStudio 4K Mini’s front-panel controls. Because the device uses a combination of a rotary dial and push buttons for menu navigation, the display serves as the visual feedback loop for:

• Input Selection: Switching between SDI, HDMI, and Analog sources.

• Device Settings: Adjusting network configurations or internal processing options.

• Audio Mapping: Assigning audio channels for monitoring and capture.

Precision Fit and Connectivity

As a factory-certified part, this LCD module is built to fit the specific 1/3 rack width form factor of the UltraStudio 4K Mini. It features a specialized ribbon cable designed to plug directly into the Main PCB. The assembly is slim and lightweight, ensuring it sits flush behind the protective front acrylic of the chassis to maintain the professional aesthetic and structural integrity of the unit.

Key Features

• Genuine Blackmagic Design Spare: Guaranteed compatibility with the UltraStudio 4K Mini model.

• Vibrant Color Reproduction: Provides an accurate representation of the video signal for quick confidence checks.

• Direct Ribbon Interface: Simplifies the connection to the main logic board.

• Durability: Built to withstand the constant operation cycles found in professional broadcast and post-production environments.

Technical Installation Note

Replacing the LCD on an UltraStudio 4K Mini requires opening the chassis and accessing the front panel assembly.

• Front Panel Access: You will typically need to remove the top cover and the front faceplate to reach the display mounting points.

• Ribbon Cable Care: The connection between the LCD and the Main PCB is made via a delicate ribbon cable; ensure the connector is properly seated and locked before reassembling.

• Debris Prevention: Before sealing the unit, ensure the area between the LCD panel and the front faceplate is clear of dust or fingerprints, as these will be highly visible once the device is powered on.
