Mini recorder into a MB Pro running 10.12.6. All latest software installed, although the mini recorder is a few years old and I have never had any indication that firmware has been upgraded when doing the software install. Recorder appears as a device in Media Express, but no picture appears. I have connected a camera to SDI, checked format consistency all through the chain, etc. Nothing. Also tried it from a PAL VHS through an analog to SDI mini converter, with all the dip-switches properly set. Nothing. How are these things so flakey? I remember similar issues with an Ultrastudio 3D a few years ago, and the moment it flipped from 'brick' to 'working' never seemed to show any consistency. I have watched hours of youtube setup videos this time, and tried every combo of formats that my gear will allow. I have tried going straight into Premiere Pro without Media Express, and here it's even worse: 'Device offline'. What the heck BM?

We had been using two Ultra Studio Mini Recorders for two years successfully until problems developed with the 40m long self-powering HDMI cables feeding the UMR's from 2 Canon Legria HF G25's. We decided to convert the HDMI at the camera end to SDI using BMD micro HDMI to SDI converters. The SDI Signal at the end of a 50m cable is viewable on a professional monitor but the UMR seems to be not able to output anything other than black frames to our iMac. The HDMI connection still works fine but we don't want to go back to using 40m HDMI cables. Any suggestions?

Hi Guys! Thank you for reading my text!

Current Situation: I have a CANON Legria/ Vixia HF G50 and the Blackmagic Ultrastudio mini recorder and I want to stream via OBS.

My MacBook does connect to the Blackmagic Ultrastudio mini recorder, the light on it is on and the Desktop Video Studio receives signals from it. I changed the input from SDI to HDMI.

But what doesn’t work is when I connect the CANON Legria/ Vixia HF G50 via HDMI to the Blackmagic Ultrastudio mini recorder. I can’t get any singlas from the camcorder.

The Screen on the Blackmagic Express Software is black.

Is there any settings I need to make to be able to get it work?

Again, thanks for reading I really appreciate any insight!

Adrian
