Resolume Forum

ps I have seen that if I don't go full screen on Ableton that the Arena output remains so I guess that might be a workaround for tonight if there isn't a better way.

Thank you

In Mac OS Display I have already set up 'Extended Display' for the projector. Do I need to setup any other settings? If so, where?

I am setting up for a gig tonight and have a big problem. I want to use a Blackmagic Ultrastudio Monitor to connect my MacBook Pro to the projector but I am getting a magenta and green output for Arena. I can get a normal output using another HDMI adapter but that output is lost when I switch to my ...

Really? When I last had a play with this device, I'm sure I got it to come up in Resolume. Has that been withdrawn or am I imagining things?

(I sent you a reply to your email, it bounced back, seems to be a DNS error.)

Try restarting your mac.
BMD devices and drivers don't tolerate hot plugging on macs very well.

Thanks Zoltan. I had tried that but will do again. Annoying about the DNS error for my email. I have just moved my name ...

Any experienced users of BM UltraStudio Monitor out there? I'm evaluating it with Resolume. I have the latest version of BM Desktop Video Setup (10.9.12) and it sees that the device is conneted (via a Thunderbolt 3 to 2 adapter) but in Resolume/Output/Advanced/Screen 1 I don't get it (see grab ...

Thanks. I am referring to Thunderbolt 3 or USB-C - on the newer Macs. Different connector to Thunderbolt 2 or Mini DisplayPort. it still doesn’t change the fact that there is no such thing as a T3/USB-C video
input so we’re still dealing with the same connectors which are miniDP, DP, HDMI, DVI ...

It doesn't seem to have a Thunderbolt input Thumderbolt is a combination of PCIe and Displayport so you mean Mini DisplayPort. But yes, get a Decimator MD-HX with a good miniDP to HDMI cable and you should be good to go!

Once you own a Decimator MD-HX, you'll wonder how you made work without one ...

It the refresh rate is crucial, I would personally buy a Decimator MD-HX and put it between the server and the display. It's a small investment (~US$300) but you will never regret having it in your toolkit!

Will check this out. Thank you. It doesn't seem to have a Thunderbolt input so I guess I ...

sounds great!
if you select 25p then the monitor will run at 25Hz.
You can double check this in Resolume, enable Show fps in the output menu.
and when you output to this display the maximum fps you see should be 25 with the composition fps set to auto.

Thank you Zoltan

I did find the menu ...
