Quit Ecamm Live and check to see if it's working in the Capture tab of the Blackmagic Media Express app. For example, it does not support 1080p60 or anything above 1080. (It may not support some higher frame sizes and frame rates.) See the details here for Mini Recorder. Some multi-port adapters look like they have a Thunderbolt 2 port, but unfortunately they only work for connecting a MiniDP display, and will not work for Thunderbolt 2 devices.Įnsure that your camera is outputting an HDMI resolution and frame rate supported by the Blackmagic encoder.

Running the software installer bombed out shortly after “trying” to install with this: But (you know what’s coming next)… nothing is ever as easy as it seems. Installing the DeckLink card looked pretty straightforward find the PCI-E slot with 8x support, pop some software on et voila.
