UltraStudio and MiniUltraStudio HD Mini using USB-C

PostTue Oct 03, 2017 4:32 am

Will the Thunderbolt 3 connection on the back of the UltraStudio HD Mini work with a USB-C from a PC?

I have a UltraStudio Mini with Thunderbolt input, can I use a Thunderbolt conversion to USB-C for a PC?

I am stuck trying to get out of my PC to SDI? I have USB 3 and USB-C

Any not so expensive ideas?

Thanks

The fact it does excist does not mean it will work ;)

But in short.. It probably wont.. Seen this question several times on the board.. But not a very solid yes to prove it does..

The Ultrastudio HD Mini requires a Thunderbolt 3 connection for power.

Great adapter Danial.

So the input is only through SDI? It will not get signal from the Thunderbolt 3?
