🎥 Enhance Your Media Production with the Blackmagic Design UltraStudio 3G Recorder Review

I have an old Mac with only USB-3 and Thunderbolt 2, this device doesn't adapt either. Just got off the phone with Black Magic support and they said it's not backwards compatible. Too bad the old ones are no longer made.

Black magic is a dead joke. The first device receives neither Wirecast nor Media Express. The second block cannot be switched on. The absolute joke of the company.

EXACTLY what I need to transfer data directly from my camera to Zoom for remote monitoring. With free software available online, you can easily switch between HDMI or SDI sources. Very satisfied and the value for money is excellent. You need to buy your own Thunderbolt 3 cable. I tried using it with high-performance USB-C and it didn't work (I was hoping a lower-data-consuming setup could do without it). I am using a MacBook Pro (15 inch 2018)

Got this for OBS input and it works great! You can make it work in a loop on older Macs with a powered Thunderbolt 3 device. My 2013 Macbook Pro was connected to a CalDigit TS3 Plus Thunderbolt 3 Dock using an Apple Thunderbolt 3 <==> 2 Adapter and it works! It doesn't work without a dock. So the Thunderbolt adapter is not providing enough power for the UltraStudio Recorder 3G.

BMD is an amazing company that is powering the world of post production. with such boxes and software and more. So I was very upset when I received my order in a box sealed with tape and with frayed edges. (a clear sign that it has been opened and used). I checked anyway, maybe it was accidentally opened (yes, right), the device was really rattling. For example, shake it and you will hear something shaking inside. (I took a video and posted it here.) I asked for a new one and just received a…

Edit 05/23/21: I noticed that my initial review of this unit might have been a bit harsh. I was frustrated that BM does NOT include the right cables to get their hardware up and running. However, having spent over $20 on a 3ft USB-C to Thunderbolt 3 cable, I'm here to report that this device actually works as expected and as such I'm updating my review from my previous 1 star to 4 stars. I'm still deducting a star for the above cable situation. This device does NOT come with a Thunderbolt…

Update: Changed from one star to three because the company has a separate online document that describes the system changes required to run on a Macbook. This is just the beginning, but the product still does not work with Macbook Air 2021 (Apple Silicon). Also, I was able to contact support and they helped, but ultimately I was unable to resolve the issue or predict when a solution would be available.----------------- ---- ----------- --- ---The product does not work on Macbook Air with Apple…
