Cheap HDMI recorders from China will record HDCP, no problems, and Cheap HDMI Splitters can make HDCP recording work on any device.Black Magic devices work (sometimes) or can be finicky when trying to connect.Projectileobjects-capturedevices3.jpg 1920×1080 145 KB Apple seems to have got their shit together with these touchbars and cooling… although having to drag a fan around to gigs… not great. But, want to point this out in case anyone is doing sync sound, which would be unacceptable (say, at a live event, projecting a person speaking on stage…and you want to run that through VDMX for some lower thirds or image control, whatever…not going to work great ).īut, in general, with a 2018 MBP, and a cooling fan (hot out today!), this was a 30fps 4k workflow with capture/playback that was really fast, rarely dropping below 29fps. Just about any capture usually does of course. However, the UltraStudio 4k, although easy to work with, did introduce a couple of frames latency (maybe 3-6 frames). But, we also plugged in a Panasonic Lumix 4k and that worked great too (again, going through the UltraStudio, into a mac, with some effects, then out to a 4k monitor). Source today was a VideoAssist playing 422 4k. First, a lot of the BM stuff can be finicky to get to play nice. Hi, chiming in after a couple days playing with 4k live input through the UltraStudio 4k (MBP touchbar 2018).
