Mac Mini M1 and BMD Playback card

PostThu Aug 05, 2021 10:08 pm

I'm looking at getting a Mac Mini M1. I'm used to using a DeckLink Mini Monitor 4K on my Windows desktop PC. What is the equivalent of the DeckLink Mini Monitor 4K that is external that can be used for the Mac Mini M1?

So it seems that there is no such thing at the moment. Right?

The UltraStudio line is supported on M1 Macs. Not cheap if you need 4K output, though.

That’s what I was thinking too but was not sure. Yes, it is a bit pricey when compared to a DeckLink 4K that I have now on my PC.

Monitoring for color can be done in HD and the UltraStudio 3 G works fine here with that machine.
Maybe AI can help you. Or make you obsolete.
