Blackmagic Ultrastudio Express Driver Mac

Hello,

I tested the UltraStudio 4K and UltraStudio Express, which sit in the middle of the family. The UltraStudio 4K is a rack-mount unit that’s designed for facility or mobile truck installation. It is one rack unit tall, connects to a Mac or PC via a single Thunderbolt cable, and is compatible with Thunderbolt and Thunderbolt 2. UltraStudio 4K Extreme 3 is the world’s most advanced capture and playback solution for PCI Express and Thunderbolt computers! It features incredibly fast 40Gb/s Thunderbolt 3, advanced 12G‑SDI and HDMI 2.0 connections for working at up to 60 frames per second with deep color, 12‑bit RGB, support for HDR workflows via HDMI 2.0a and extremely large 4K frame sizes.

Blackmagic Design Desktop Video is the driver that is required in order for Livestream Producer and Livestream Studio software to recognize video inputs coming in through a Blackmagic Design capture device. If you are having an issue seeing your camera source, it could be an issue with the current version of the drivers you have installed.


I have a quick question regarding the Ultrastudio Express and its functionality on Windows. I have a thunderbolt board and was wondering if the Express' limitation to Mac is a hardware limitation (as in, it is very new for Windows to have Thunderbolt) or is it in software?
The Express sits exactly where I want in terms of features and price but I work on Windows.
If it is an insurmountable limitation can you advise on what the closest other product would be? The SDI would be perfect but I need analogue inputs.
Regards,
Robbie.Mac

BlackMagic UltraStudio HD Mini with 3G-SDI, HDMI and Analog Connections for incredible broadcast quality


Product Code: UltraStudio HD Mini

Description:

UltraStudio HD Mini, the world's first portable Thunderbolt 3 capture and playback solution designed for archiving, edit monitoring, streaming and live broadcast graphics.
With UltraStudio HD Mini, we have taken a different direction by including some new connections people needed, and dropping some of the connections people don't use anymore. No one uses analog out anymore!
However, people are capturing from older analog and digital broadcast decks for archiving content to modern digital media files. People also want to run live graphics into switcher with fill and key and of course we often need to get high quality monitoring in HDMI and SDI when editing and color grading and need perfect AV sync. It also works with Open Broadcaster software for live 1080p streaming.
UltraStudio HD Mini has been designed to do these tasks well, and we have fit it all into the small Teranex Mini sized design. It's even Thunderbolt powered so you don't need to connect it to a power supply. You can even power it from your laptop battery! You can sit it on your desk beside your laptop, making it a great portable solution to take on the road.
If you add the optional Teranex Mini Smart Panel you also get video, audio meters and status, including a new frame buffer indicator to assist in evaluating disk performance on broadcast systems. You can also rack mount multiple units using the Teranex Mini Rack Shelf.
UltraStudio HD Mini includes 3G-SDI and HDMI outputs for edit monitoring. Plus the 3G-SDI outputs are dual link so you can output separate fill and key to live switchers.
The inputs include 3G-SDI as well as Y,Cr,Cb analog component or NTSC/PAL inputs, along with balanced analog inputs for connecting to older digital or analog broadcast decks for archiving. There are even deck control and reference inputs!
