Media Composer 8.9

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has used driver 10.9.5 yet with Media Composer 8.9 and if it is safe to up-grade. (Mac OS 10.12.5)

Also, I have just realised the UltraStudio Express with Thunderbolt 2 is discontinued. Is it still supported with the 10.9.5 driver?

If not, is it necessary to get the UltraStudio HD mini? And is that compatible with a Thunderbolt 2 Mac cylinder, via adapter?

Many thanks for any insight...

I recently installed a Ultrastudio Express (which as you say uses Thunderbolt 2) on a new Mac Mini running Sierra with the latest updates and Blackmagic Desktop Video with the latest updates. Media Express works fine.

I don't understand why Blackmagic has stopped producing Ultrastudio Express. It's a fabulous interface, and I need a second one but can't now source one without paying through the nose!

Hi Colin,

Thanks for posting your experience re the Express and new driver. I just hope that it continues to be supported for a while yet - I only recently had to ditch the Matrox MXO2, due to it being dropped abruptly!

Can anyone from BM can say for how long the Express will be supported…?

regards,

Andrew
