Ultrastudio Mini Recorder Not Working with MacBook Pro M1

PostThu Apr 17, 2025 5:42 am

Dear Blackmagic forum,

I hope this message finds you well. I am experiencing an issue with my UltraStudio Mini Recorder, which no longer works with my MacBook Pro M1.

I have installed all the recommended software and drivers from your website, but the device is still not recognized or functioning as expected. I have tried different cables and ports, but the issue persists.

Could you please assist me in resolving this problem? I would greatly appreciate your help.

The newer Mac OS has some security features that block certain software/hardware components. I had this issue with the UltraStudio HD. Try this:

- Go into System Settings under "Login Items & Extensions"

- Scroll down into the Extensions

- Click the i icon for the Camera Extensions and Driver Extensions. You will most likely have to turn on both of those items.

I did this and the UltraStudio HD Mini showed up in my Desktop Video Setup window.

Hope this helps!
