Hello:
Trying to see if someone can point me to a fix for this issue. I am trying to connect the card for use with Adobe On our new iMac Pro. The computer sees the Sonnet chassis but the Desktop Video setup app, MacOS and Adobe don’t see the Decklink card. I have moved slots, done restarts, tried different versions of Desktop video.... all with no luck. Sonnet was unable to help once they saw the Enclosure worked and BMD phone support had no suggestions on why this doesn’t work other then suggesting I try the card in a PC with PCI slots — which I don’t have — we run a Mac-based studio.
What I am working with:
- iMac Pro (NLE: Adobe Creative Suite)
- Sonnet Tech Echo Express SE III Thunderbolt 3 Enclosure
- BMD Decklink 4K Extreme 12G
My only thought... Does the Decklink 4K Extreme 12G card NEED external power? The manual says it might... but it’s a bit wishy washy about it. The Enclosure I have doesn’t support additional power for cards. I thought I have seen them running without this but I may be wrong.
