Problem with 17 Studio dongle and sd card

PostSat Feb 13, 2021 4:51 am

I just got the above dongle and sd card. Here are my problems:
1) When I put the dongle in the usb port, the computer makes the usual tone, but the dongle does not show up in the Windows 10 folder tree like other drives do. I unplugged 2 other devices from their ports thinking I may have too many devices plugged in, but that didn't help. I plugged the dongle into 4 different ports but that didn't help.
2) When I put in the SD card, I get 2 listings in the folder tree. One says BMC-WIN-LIN (J:) and has 6 folders in it. The other listing says SD/MMC (G:). When I click it, I get 2 windows that pop up. One says
"You need to format the disc in drive G before you can use it. Do you want to format it?" I did not say yes, for fear I may delete valuable info. The other box says "G: is not accessible. The volume does not contain a recognized file system. Please make sure that all required system drivers are loaded and that the volume is not corrupted"
3) Where will I find the key to activate 17 Studio? Is it on the dongle somewhere?" Is 17 Studio on the dongle, or do I need to download it from the BlackMagic website.

I am very frustrated. I had to wait 9 weeks to get the order and now I can't use it yet.

Thank you.

Download the v17.0 public beta 9 from the support web site. Make sure you get the Studio version.

Install the software. The dongle is the key and Resolve will look for it when it launches and frequently during operation.

You wont need the SD card.

So, I have to put in the dongle every time I use DaVinci and keep it in the usb slot the whole time?
Thanks.
