I have seen that the DF 3.5 software is compatible with the Blackmagic Cinema Camera. I was wondering if the same is true for the 3.0?

I would go to their site and look at the list of supported cameras. I got the Rebel T3 because all the others were VERY expensive.

Dean, the only sofeware I have found is the software that came with the cameras, but I hate it! Did you not get the disc when you bought the cameras? If not, I would be happy to send you one, I have 12. I find the cameras to work well, but the software terrible and have not found anything else compatible. I understand the cameras are now obsolete. THe company went out of business. Should you find something let me know,please. tnt6125@aol.com. thanks Tom

I called customer support for a question 5 months ago, and at that time one of the first questions I was asked was, "Am I running Mavericks?" At that time it was not supported. I would call the customer service for BlackMagic to see if that latest software is supported.

The small disc should still work in any standard CD-Rom player in your computer, the diameter is not relevant. However if for some reason you actually cannot use the disc then contact the company and they will help you load the software via phone support. if thet doesn't work, Tom, at XDR digital sensors has been selling these cameras with his sensors for years and their software support people will likely be able to help you. You will finf Tom by searching the internet for XDR sensors.

I just tried it with my Nikon. I don't know how to make my DSLR output a video stream. But if your DSLR is sending video over HDMI (test it by attaching to a TV), then the Ultrastudio should be able to capture it. But if you have trouble, make sure that the resolution and framerate settings all match between the camera, Blackmagic, and software; if there is any mismatch you will probably get nothing but black.Also, be sure that your video chat software is compatible with this device. If you tell me your platform and software, I may be able to tell you.

I have not tried it with the black magic but it has worked fine with the dozen different Sony cameras and the Cannons I have tried. It is a pretty simple design so I would bet it would work fine. HD SDI is a universal convention so the brand of camera shouldn't matter.

hello cameron. i brought this unit for my blackmagic 2.5 camera as well. im sorry to say that it do not and will not work. the output voltage from the blackmagic need to be converted to a different signal. i had to buy the "link" by indipro. works perfect but do cost about $250.00. i hope this helps.

Yes that is how it is being used by me now.We are using this converting full motion 1080 HD/SDI video to HDMI for use by our streaming computer with VidBlaster program installed. I am also using the Blackmagic Capture card with absolutely no problems with configuring or using; use Blackmagic if you want with out fear.

Thanks for your input. Like you I also used almost every Nikon camera. At present I use D3X, and always shoot raw Nef format. To process in Photoshop, I like to convert into DNG, and this is possible with D3X. One year ago I tried Nikon D4 before I purchased, and found out Converting its RAW format to DNG was not possible. D4 was not supported by Adobe DNG. I wonder if Adobe had now included D4 as compatible to convert its Raw to DNG. I would be grateful if you Can you confirm. Thank you.

I have a Canon DC 50 and they work fine. The only problem I've had was getting the recordings off the disc and onto computer HD. You had to use the software Canon said to use, (Roxio), sorry if that is not the right spelling. I am going to try with Windows 7 and try and find some cheap software other than Roxio.

I have a Canon HF 200, and have been trying to find some way to play my HD files on the BD-60. So far, no luck. I've emailed and called customer service to ask what formats are supported - waste of time. The customer rep said this was only available on the BD-80 (despite what the manual states) Good luck.

David Pogue wrote a piece in the NY Times on the subject, making some solid points in favor of mini-dv which ultimately turned me away from any non-tape-based cameras. If you feel like subjecting yourself further into this dead horse of a subject, the link to his piece is below:http://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/20/technology/circuits/20pogue.html

Once again, the Blackmagic camera should work. Another responder indicated that it won't focus or operate the iris because it doesn't make electrical connections between the lens and the camera. The Blackmagic web site says, "Blackbagic Pocket Cinema Camera features an active MFT lend mount and high resolution 3.5" LCD." The reference to "active lens mount" is with respect to the active electrical connections and ability to focus and operate the iris.

I can't recommend the EzFoto AF-Confirm adapter for a 5D3. It doesn't work on my 5D3, although it works perfectly on my 7D.
