UltraStudio Recorder 3G is making me crazy

PostMon Feb 03, 2025 11:11 pm

My new BM "gonna fix my issue" box (edit) doesn't seem to do anything!

I have it connected to a 64gb M2 Max Studio (Sequoia 15.3) via a Thunderbolt 4 cable plugged directly into the back of the Mac in a TB-marked slot. The device itself shows an illuminated white LED beside the TB connector.

When I query via terminal, I get:
dandeon@Dans-Mac-Studio MacOS % ./DesktopVideoUpdateTool -l
No devices available


BM Desktop Video Setup insists "no desktop video device detected."

No cables, or curses, or coercion make any difference. (edit) How do I make this device work? Anyone?

First off, Howard, THANK YOU for replying. I have to say it's annoying as hell to post ON THE MANUFACTURER'S forum and watch the view count top a few hundred and no employee has bothered to even acknowledge the post.

Being a Macnoob, I don't know what you're asking, exactly. If this were a DOS machine, I'm all good with command line, but here I don't know anything.

If you mean "are they installed on the machine" the answer is yes for desktop video, and I don't know for the DExt file. I just spent a very frustrating half hour *trying* to find the BlackmagicIO.DExt file - actually *any* BlackmagicIO file - and turned up diddly.

If you can tell me how to look and where to look for it, I will.
