Black Magic Ultrastudio 4K TB2

[5th Element]

I would also be curious to know if this works. also it has a TB loop thru so you theoretically could still use that output?.

So Gents,

I had a longer test with this Ultrastudio 4K just to realize, that I was never able to capture one single frame with that..

I'm not sure if this (brand-new) unit was broken out of the box or if the hdcp handling of the device is simply a nightmare, but I wasn't even able to get something into this with an ImagePro, neither over SDI nor HDMI, so to cut a long story short, I lost the faith I never had into this...

I did testing with an Aja IO4K and this item works like a flaw, it did from the first second what it should do.

From latency side it looks like being on the 1.5 - 2 frames which would be acceptable for me..

Also it's just one input into the Mac, the different inputs on the Aja can be switched by the software

Will do more field testing in production environment on the weekend and will let you know...

Best

Am I correct in thinking this is 4 inputs into the box but only one input into Catalyst? rather than 4 simultaneous inputs into Cat?
Guessing the switching you refer to is done in the AJA software? or can you use something like 232 from Cat to switch the inputs on the box?
