For months, I've been livestreaming court cases using a Black Magic H.264 Pro Recorder in tandem with livestream.com's Procaster software running on OS X on a MacBook Pro.
It's worked great until this past week, during which I've been unable to stream because Procaster thinks the camera is 'busy.' Both Procaster and Black Magic Media Express software sense/recognize that the device is connected over USB, like usual, but can no longer utilize the video signal. To try to rectify, I've since:
All to no avail. And I haven't been prompted to update the H.264 Pro Recorder's firmware, which as far as I can tell is the only way to update its firmware: by auto-running a check whenever it's connected to an internet-connected computer over USB.
My only remaining idea is to try to reset the Pro Recorder hardware to factory default. How do I do that? And do any of y'all have other suggestions for approaching this problem?
Thanks very much for your time.

Both Procaster and Black Magic Media Express software sense/recognize that the device is connected over USB, like usual, but can no longer utilize the video signal. To try to rectify, I've since:
- - run VRAM resets (usually fixes device syncing problems)
- repaired permissions across the OS
- updated OS X from 10.6.8 to 10.8.1
- updated livestream Procaster software to its latest version
- upgraded Black Magic Desktop Video software to 9.6.4
All to no avail. And I haven't been prompted to update the H.264 Pro Recorder's firmware, which as far as I can tell is the only way to update its firmware: by auto-running a check whenever it's connected to an internet-connected computer over USB.
