Christine, it is nice that the item has been lowered in price but it still doesn't give me information as to what motherboard was used to certify the UltraStudio 4k. I have asked Josh and I sent an email to Dan Mays. Nobody wants to let go of this information. I have been trying to get accurate information from Blackmagic Design well before NAB. The information provided is inaccurate. The catalog states MAC and PC functionality and the website states just MAC.

Which is it? This is very poor presale customer service. I am now looking at the AJA card and the 4k Extreme card...which is the same price as the Thunderbolt product.
How about some help here! I'm not asking for trade secrets just the correct motherboard to actually get this item to work.
