BlackMagic UlraStudio Mini Recorder – Black Screen on all Inputs – HDMI input to Mac Pro

displayhdmiinput-sourcethunderbolt

I am trying to get a live feed via the following setup on my MacBook Pro 2012 running Sierra 10.13.2.

HDMI Out on camera, plugged into HDMI In on BlackMagic device >> Thunderbolt out plugged into MacBook Thunderbolt port.

I have a few Camera's I have tested but none work.

I have tried BlackMagic drivers 10.9.7 and 10.9.5. When I open the BlackMagic Media Express, I just get a blank/black screen on the "Log/Capture" screen.

In the BlackMagic driver settings I have selected HDMI and under "Conversions" I have set "None".

The end goal is to use IStopMotion, which shows the device "Black Magic" as an option, but it is also a black screen.

The cameras I have tried are Sony HDR-SR10, Sony HDR-CX130 and Lumix DMC-GF1.

We had to go buy a new mini HDMI to HDMI adapter. After the software worked as expected. Good Job BlackMagic on a nice piece of SW.
