150 MBOX ® MEDIA SERVER USER MANUAL
Blackmagic UltraStudio Devices (Thunderbolt)
Mbox also supports the UltraStudio Mini Recorder, Express, and 4K. To obtain the best performance with these
products, make sure that the Thunderbolt bus has enough available bandwidth for the capture device and any other
connected Thunderbolt devices. Latency with Thunderbolt devices may be slightly higher than that obtained with
PCIe cards.
Note: At present time Mbox does not support input resolutions larger than 1920 x 1080 from UltraStudio devices.
To setup UltraStudio:
The UltraStudio must first be set to receive the correct format (SDI, composite, component or HDMI) using the
controls on the device (for the 4K) or the Blackmagic preference pane in the Mac System Preferences (for the Mini
Recorder and Express). Use the following steps if it is necessary to configure in Mac System Preferences:
Step 1. Quit Mbox application, if running.
Step 2. At Apple menu, select System Preferences.
Step 3. At System Preferences window, click on Blackmagic Design button.
