Does the Blackmagic Web Presenter with Teranex Mini Smart Pa

PostThu Feb 01, 2018 10:00 pm

Does the Blackmagic Web Presenter with Teranex Mini Smart Panel work on Windows 7 64 bit? (Have Thunderbolt)
I tried to search for this topic first but Windows 7 is rejected as a search term.
Support advised that Blackmagic did not test the Web Presenter on any Windows systems before 8 but suggested I ask here.
There are several reasons I would like to avoid updating to Windows 10, if I can use the Web Presenter on 7.
Currently using 3 Logitech webcams and OBS and want to use better quality cameras for close-ups.
Thank you.

Since it shows up as a usb webcam and it uses windows drivers, I don't see why it wont work. That being said, theres no guarantee that it will work. I suggest that you buy it from somewhere that has a good return policy.

windows 7 and windows 10 are pretty similar, there should be no difference

Thank you for the reply, Raphael.
No one else has answered, so it doesn't sound like a definite no-no. That makes me think it might be worth taking a chance.
Worst case scenario, I will have an unusable box until I take the dreaded step of getting Windows 10. Blackmagic is the ONLY reason I might have to upgrade and Win10 will cause problems with other applications.

Thank you, Robbie. I contacted an authorized seller who told me that it will work on Windows 7, so I am reassured. I appreciate you taking the time to reply.

Yes it does 7 8 8.1 and 10. Tried it on all.
But its a horrible box..... buggy and unreliable since day one.
Purchase a magewaell usb3 or AJA U-Tap usb instead.
