I have a 'BM Ultrastudio Recorder 3G' with me and I have it running on MBP 2020, Mac OS 10.15.7 Catalina using HDMI input from a Sony mirrorless camera. The recorder is set to HDMI: 1920x1080p50. There is a short Thunderbolt 3 cable (30cm) running between the computer and the device and a longer HDMI (2mtr) to the camera micro HDMI socket. UltraStudio also includes DirectShow filters, a WDM Windows Driver and QuickTime API that lets UltraStudio models integrate seamlessly with an unbelievably wide range of applications and codecs.
