Can't get 59.94 refresh rate on a Mac

PostMon Apr 23, 2018 1:08 am

Our current setup is a Windows box running ProPresenter connected via HDMI to

1. Decimator MD-HX (primary output)
2. Black Magic HDMI->SDI 4K CONVMBHS24K (stage output)

and both have SDI runs to the ATEM ME/1.

The windows box shows a refresh rate of 59.94 fps and generates a stable signal to the ATEM via the converters.

We're replacing the Windows machine with an iMac Pro. The iMac Pro only has USB-C out, so we're using two Anker USB-C to HDMI (A8306041) to make the HDMi connections.

Unfortunately, the iMac only gives me a refresh option of 60Hz and not 59.94Hz. Any suggestions on what can be done to get the Mac to show the 59.94 refresh rate? Is ScreenX the only alternative?

Update: I forced the Decimator to scale from 60hz to 59.94hz. Would much prefer to not have to scale but this is a decent stop gap for one of the displays.

switchresx wouldn't show the refresh rates for me either. Can you manually enter the refresh rate if it isn't listed as a supported option?
