Renaming Blackmagic Converters - no option to do so

PostWed Mar 31, 2021 8:39 am

The manual clearly states how to rename the converters – but the software gives no option to do so:

Thanks Marc but there's nothing in the manual to suggest this, it just says:

"About Tab
The ‘about’ tab in Blackmagic Converters Setup is common across many converter models. You can use the settings in this tab to name your Blackmagic Converter. Simply click in the ‘name’ text box and type your desired converter name. Click ‘save’ to confirm the change."
