Blackmagic Ultrastudio Mini Recorder Driver Mac

I have a 'BM Ultrastudio Recorder 3G' with me and I have it running on MBP 2020, Mac OS 10.15.7 Catalina using HDMI input from a Sony mirrorless camera. The recorder is set to HDMI: 1920x1080p50. There is a short Thunderbolt 3 cable (30cm) running between the computer and the device and a longer HDMI (2mtr) to the camera micro HDMI socket. Mon Dec 14, 2020 11:58 am. Same here - UltraStudio Mini Recorder is not detected on my M1 Mac mini (installed 10 beta 1 Desktop Video drivers). It does detect DeckLink 8K Pro through PCI TB3 box, but Resolve reports a problem on startup that the video mode can't be set and I can't use a video out from Resolve.

This Blackmagic device is not a camera, but a device for capturing HDMI (or SDI) into a form your computer can use.

It is useful for providing a video assist from another camera, but will not trigger high-resolution on it.
