1. my USB keyboard stops working entirely
2. mouse interaction becomes "choppy"
What's the resolution for this?
I was having issues with the BMD UltraStudio Mini Recorder being disconnected every three to five minutes and forcing the CPU to become overloaded, the computer super hot and all USB ports to fail.
I upgraded the Mac0S and the BMD Desktop_Video. Problem solved. Please, see below:
UltraStudio Mini Recorder and the Mini Monitor via Thunderbolt.
MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015).
16GB RAM
2.8 GHz
MacOS 10,11.6
Pomfort - LiveGrade 3.7.2
ScopeBox 3.5.4
Flanders FSI BoxI0 via Ethernet static IP
Blackmagic_Desktop_Video_10.9.3-2
Tangent Element Kit
Note: I only use this configuration for color management and creating look on-set. For other DIT tasks I use a desktop configuration.
Hope this helps.
