If you want to deliver in Ultra HD, just select the resolution menu next to the camera originals
icon and it allows you to select various resolutions and aspect ratios. The top setting is for Ultra
HD. Once you select this, your whole project will be changed over to Ultra HD and you should
see your images become sharper.
Any non camera inputs such as slide shows from a computer will be upscaled automatically.
HD images from the media pool will also be upscaled automatically. You can replace these
images in the media folder if you want them to be replaced by higher resolution versions of your
media pool graphics.
Now when you do quick export, you will be exporting an Ultra HD master, all from a
HD switcher!
Preparing Media for Recording
External disks can be formatted via a Mac or Windows computer. HFS+ is also known as
Mac OS X Extended and is the recommended format as it supports 'journaling'. Data on
journaled media is more likely to be recovered in the rare event that your storage media
becomes corrupted. HFS+ is natively supported by macOS. exFAT is supported natively
by Mac and Windows without needing any additional software, but does not support journaling.
This can be a good choice if you need to read or write to the disk using both Mac and
Windows computers.

Formatting Media on a Mac Computer
The Disk Utility application included with your Mac can format a drive in the HFS+ or exFAT
formats. Make sure you back up anything important from your disk as you will lose everything
on it when it is formatted.
1
Connect your disk to your computer with an external dock, USB hub, or cable adapter
and dismiss any message offering to use your drive for Time Machine backups.
2
On your computer, go to applications/utilities and launch Disk Utility.
3
Click on the disk icon of your drive and then click the erase tab.
4
Set the format to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) or exFAT.
5
Type a name for the new volume and then click erase. Your media will quickly be
formatted and made ready for recording.
