Ultrastudio 4k Mini, Mac Pro 7,1, MacOS 12.7.1 with ProTools
![Post Post](./styles/bmd_universal/imageset/icon_post_target.gif)
Hey Folks,
I've been non stop on films for a couple of years and only upgraded from Catalina to Monterey in the last month when I had a break. Now, I am banging my head trying to get my Ultrastudio 4k Mini to appear in the Blackmagic Desktop Video Setup. I get the constant 'No Desktop Video Device Detected'. I have literally tried every version of the software from DVS 12.7.1 right down to 11.1.
There were two DVS versions where the device magically appeared in the control panel 11.3 and 11.4.1, but the Avid Video Engine would not play and would render ProTools unusable with unrecoverable video engine crashes.
FYI, the device does appear in the 'System Report' under Thunderbolt Devices. I only bought the unit a year ago and until now I thought it was awesome.
I urgently need to know the following:
Does the Ultrastudio 4k Mini actually work with Monterey on a MacPro7,1? If not, can you recommend a configuration that will work?
What version of the Desktop Video do I need to use?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I am actually almost ready to take out my hammer and turn the unit into modern art.
Cheers,
Dave Whitehead
