Bought this product to use with my Sony α6000 on a Trinocular microscope to develop on line learning for High School Biology studying populations using among other organisms, the Paramecium.
I have it all set up with a micro HDMI to full sized HDMI connector from the camera, to a six foot HDMI to HDMI cable to the input of the US Mini Recorder. From there out on 0.5 m Thunderbolt 2 cable into an Apple MMEL2AM/A, Thunderbolt 3 (Usb-C) To 2 Adapter into my 2017 iMac. Initially I used iMovie 9.09 (couldn't get iMovie 10 to download). My 3.4 Ghz iMac. Initially everything was working superbly. Imovie would first select the Mac's built camera, but, the US Mini Recorder was there to be selected and I have gotten an hour of footage after editing.
Then for some reason I would select the camera icon and the built in camera would again be selected, but then when I selected the US MR the screen would be black. Switched back to built in Camera and that would be black.
Restart iMovie and try again and sometimes US MR would work, other times not. Continued to get worse. Tried Apple's Photo Both and would occasionally work, then not. Restarted the computer and iMovie would work some/some not. Now I only get with iMovie the built in camera, but when I switch to US MC the internal camera blanks on, then off to black.
,
Tried Blackmagic Media Express and while it shows checked as the Device UltraStudo Mini Recorder it doesn't do anything when Log and Capture is selected. Once it flashed the picture, but then went black again. Tried all the connections and they all seem tight. I know it isn't the camera as I can still record to its flash card.
Could it be something wrong with the Mini Recorder?
