Resolume and Black Magic Design UltraStudio 4k Extreme 3

Hello,

Does anyone know how to get Resolume Arena to "see" the various Capture and Output sources from a Black Magic Design UltraStudio 4K Extreme 3? All I see in the Sources Tab and Device selection is the main unit itself. I've included a photo for reference.

Thanks for any and all suggestions.

It’s connected via a Thunderbolt 3 cable.

It appears that this unit can only capture one signal.

How did you come to that conclusion, because there are 4 separate SDI Inputs and Outputs?

Check Blackmagic configuration in desktop video setup, is can be configured as quad-link, so all 4 connectors are used just for single input.

Thanks for the suggestion Warspite! Have you tried to use this setup as well?

If you look at the specs for the unit, it says:
SDI Video Inputs
2 x 12Gb/s and 2 x 6Gb/s SD/HD/2K/4K. Supports single/dual/quad link 4:2:2/4:4:4. 2D/3D switchable.

SDI Video Outputs
2 x 12Gb/s and 2 x 6Gb/s SD/HD/2K/4K. Supports single/dual/quad link 4:2:2/4:4:4. 2D/3D switchable.

.../...

Computer Interface
Thunderbolt™ 3 (Mac OS and Windows), PCI Express 4 lane generation 2.

And none of the literature or reviews make any reference to being able to having a second I/O from the Thunderbolt 3.

Have your called the guys at Blackmagic?
