Blackmagic Design Capture UltraStudio Monitor 3G BDLKULSDMBREC3G

Using this with Pro Tools and Video Sync 5. Great way to output 1080p signal to my TV. At first I had a bit of problem getting my computer to recognize it (Mac OS Sonoma) but then I found that BlackMagic has a terminal script which “restarts” the device to wake it up. I put this script in my Login Items so it launches whenever I reboot, and now it works great.

It’s a great device

Works well for my mobile DIT setup. It's small and light. It has been very reliable.

With all the technologies out there, this thing loses one of the most rare technology, thunderbolt. Because of the specialized technology needed, I was unable to use the unit whatsoever. I'm going to check if the company has anything that works by USB, but was disappointed I couldn't use this unit.

It’s not a “graphics” adapter, it’s a “video” adapter, this is key to understand why you need it for a Mac and third screen with propresenter.

As you can see, I had the original Mini Monitor but after upgrading my computer to an Apple silicon (M1 Max) and the perfect storm of Blackmagic updating everything with DaVinci Resolve 18, I was perplexed as to why the original video converter stopped working. The software could see it even with the cable converters but still only sent a black screen to my monitor. Upon rereading the support forums and the release notes several times, I found that the original was only supported on Intel CPU Macs! Fortunately, I found the newer Monitor 3G here on Amazon for the same price as my favorite NYC A/V retailer who was closed for a holiday. I needed it quick for a client edit session and was delivered the next day! It integrates perfectly with no fuss or further thought at least on a Mac. As a reminder, the Monitor 3G can only send up to 1080 HD to your monitor but you can change the output scaling in Davinci Resolve to see 4K and above on your screen with this device for a fraction of the next step up device for DaVinci. As of this writing, I do not believe that this will work with non Blackmagic programs.

Blackmagic Design equipment is the perfect addition to any AV needs. They have never failed me and will always be my go to!

Solved my issue of running a third full-screen monitor (Sony broadcast SDI in) from my MacMiniProM2 for Blackmagic Davinci Resolve and Adobe Premiere Pro. Takes the signal from Thunderbolt 3 out, and turns it into your choice of SDI or HDMI to feed the monitor of your choice. Had to call Tech support, though, and download BMD's desktop video suite of aps, and point to the device correctly in each non linear editor to make it work. In my case, the BMD ap had defaulted to 25fps instead of 29.97, causing tearing in the picture until I figured that out. But, works like a charm; just a little convoluted to set up initially.

Funciona muy bien y tienes muchos formatos disponibles. Lo único que me habría gustado es recibir el cable Thunderbolt

とても良い商品でした。 お知らせどうりに着きました

Cosa dire con i prodotti Blackmagic non si sa sbaglia mai. Usato per aggiunger un ulteriore schermo fisso all’interno del software Nuendo! Boom!

I could not get mine to work with a M series Mac studio

Didn’t use it yet but it’s a known instrument.
