Hello everybody, this is my first post.
And it’s going to be a long one.
I’m not a tech savvy person as I’m a commercials director and editor, working since the old days of film… all my life in mac platform, beginning with Avid many years ago, after that Adobe. Now Resolve!
I hope this is the right place to ask this.
I’ve been using Resolve for some time and I love it. Just the free version for now as I’m trying to buy a full license, as soon as I can resolve (no pun intended) the purchase process here in Chile.
Now the main question:
In order to get a more accurate picture I know the best way is to send the clear feed from Resolve to a calibrated second monitor bypassing OS color management.
So, I purchased a Blackmagic Ultrastudio Monitor 3G Thunderbolt from a reseller here in Chile.
It works perfectly in my (now kind of outdated) MacBook Pro (2017, 16gb / 512 SSD) it connected easily -as Macs usually do- with the last DesktopVideo version (13,3), sadly the MacBook has not enough power to handle 4K streams that most of my projects are now (I know about proxies and I use it all the time, but I’m talking about finishing / mastering process here.
Sadly, newer Macs are out of question as I need to use RTX cards for my 3D work, so I bought a Windows 10 PC -Gigabyte Z590 VisionD motherboard / i9 11th gen CPU / 64gb Ram and a couple of M2’s and a single RTX3800Ti) -ordered to a very capable builder-. All apps and hardware works flawlessly, except for the Ultrastudio…
Sadly, OS or Desktop Video App doesn’t detect the BMD Ultrastudio Monitor 3G. (The Motherboard does have two thunderbolt ports).
I have tried many different configurations (Bios, installing older DesktopVideo versions etc) but I haven’t been able to make it work.
Talked with Gigabyte’s tech support and they weren’t helpful at all.
It doesn’t shows in Windows device manager, in Thunderbolt app (intel), not in Desktop Video app neither.
Any suggestions?
(Sadly, after two weeks of trying to make it work I realized the PCI card by BMD was a better option to use, but I would like to have the chance to use it).
Do I have any chance to use it or it’s better to sell it and get a PCI form card?
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks.
