Blackmagic Design UltraStudio Recorder 3G (BM-BDLKULSDMAREC3G)

Great product, cosmetic condition was like new (I bought used item) came with original box, working and doing its job perfectly! Seller send it very quickly, answered my questions fast as well.

Bought this to replace a blackmagic SDI capture card on a PC when (happily) transitioning to Mac for OBS streaming. Worked without a hitch. BUT be warned that this really does require thunderbolt and will not work through USB hubs.

Me ha servido mucho incluso meses despues de haberlo comprado, sigue funcionando al 100% realmente amo la marca blackmagic

Works great! Just remember this is not a quick plug in and then it works, there are a few steps. You must do the following: Log into the black magic official website (not the most intuitive so be patience) > download the Desktop Video 12.0 Mac OS X (the one that supports Apple M1 if that’s what your using) > fill in the details and register your product > enable Extensions in Security settings so the software, once downloaded won’t continue to be blocked > once done you will need to “Enable system extensions”, you need to modify your security settings in the Recovery environment- to do this, shut down your system. Then press and HOLD the Touch ID or power button to launch Startup Security Utility. In Startup Security Utility, enable kernel extensions from the Security Policy button > to enable kernel extensions click “Reduced Security” also click Allow user management of kernel extensions from identified developers > click OK > top left where the Apple logo is click Restart > click the desktop video you previously downloaded > plug in the Black Magic’s Capture Card and YOUR good to go. If there are any hiccups at the last step, just unplug capture card and plug back in. Once I’ve been set up, no issues. Most of these steps you can just follow once your actually going through the process, Apple explains what to do once you start the initial step. Hope this helps someone as it’s not for your everyday joe!

Edit 5/23/21: I’ve realized that my initial review of this unit may have been a tad harsh. I was upset over the fact that BM does NOT include relevant cables to make their equipment work out of the box. However, after spending $20+ for a 3ft usb-c thunderbolt 3 cable, I am here to report that this unit does appear to work as expected and so I am upping my review from the previous 1-star to 4-stars. Still subtracting a star for the aforementioned cable situation. This device DOES NOT come with a Thunderbolt cable, leaving you to have to make another purchase if you don't have one ready and available. So far, I have had this out of the box for less than 30 minutes and neither of my Windows 10 Thunderbolt 3 machines will recognize this device. Not even Blackmagic's "Desktop Video Setup" program will recognize it. Looks like this will have to go back. Blackmagic: your cheapness here has caused this issue. Throw in a cable with this! Even a short 12in/1ft cable. Something.. anything!

This produce should be discontinued and removed from all stores. It just doesn't work. I've bought two of these, trying to connect different cameras, and computers to my mac for live webcasting. My computer recognizes that it is plugged in, but none of the software I am using sees or recognizes the input. Not zoom, not wirecast, not anything. I bought the first thinking it was defective, but then I bought a second one and got the same results. I had to switch to an ATEM Mini Pro, which works perfectly. Don't waste your time and money with this useless product.

Got this for OBS input, and it works great! You can get it to run on older macs with a Powered Thunderbolt 3 device in the loop. I had my 2013 Macbook Pro connected to a CalDigit TS3 Plus Thunderbolt 3 Dock with the Apple Thunderbolt 3 <==> 2 Adapter, and it works!!! Without the dock, It doesn't work. So the Thunderbolt Adapter seems to not give enough power for the UltraStudio Recorder 3G.

Picture quality is decent highly overpriced for a ancient huge piece though .. they have outdated firmware and drivers to be compatible with thunderbolt 4 hubs so I can run one fine but the three I got along with having to run my audio interface are just collecting dust . I have spent thousands trying to get a hq multi camera setup past couple months for online dj streaming . This was the straw that broke camels back . I’m pissed and completly disappointed .

El funcionamiento de la capturadora es fantástico. Tuve problemas con el cable Thunderbolt 3, que era de calidad media y largo, y comprando un cable homologado y más corto quedó solucionado. Pero la capturadora en sí funciona espectacularmente bien.

Best 1080 60FPS HDMI capture interface for any Apple Silicon Mac. I’ve been using this with the MacBook Pro M1 Max and Mac Mini M1 for recording 1080 60FPS gameplay from a PS5 and Series X and it’s perfect. You can of course record via the Blackmagic capture software or via a compatible NLE, such as DaVinci Resolve. However, it also works perfectly as a capture source for OBS Studio. This is the highest possible quality HDMI input for any Apple Silicon Mac and can also record completely uncompressed. If you want the best and most reliable up to 1080 60FPS HDMI capture input for your Apple Silicon Mac for recording gameplay or the HDMI output from a camera or other HDMI devices, this is what you need. You can of course buy much cheaper UVC type capture devices, however, they do not compare in picture quality or reliability to the Ultrastudio Recorder 3G.

Problemi iniziali con la ditta che mi spedì il primo modello, poi dopo un pò di mail e con il supporto efficiente della BLACKMAGIC DESIGN ho risolto, e ad oggi l'hardware funziona benissimo.

Live Streaming

Produit acheté pour transmettre le signal Hdmi de la Ps5 vers un macbook air 2020 os catalina via thunderdold 3 pour éviter la latence. il faut pas mal bidouiller mais cela fonctionne pour la video (installé pilote de chez blackmagic v 12.2.2.) j'ai du aussi désactiver la protection HDCP de la ps5et en utilisant QuickTime Quelques soucis avec le son (peut être a cause de la qualité du câble hdmi?) sur trois tables seulement un fonctionne) résolu le problème en passant le son par la prise jack de la manette cest un peu compliqué mais ca fonctionne mieux que les convertisseurs hdmi - usb bon marché avec beaucoup trop de latence.
