Using Blackmagic H.264 Pro Recorder as an input

Hi there!

We just bought a H.264 Pro Recorder from Blackmagic for some needs, and I was wondering if we could use it with Millumin as an input. As it is more or less acting like an acquisition card, I assume that could be possible.
Did anyone ever try or succeed to do that?
I saw that most of Blackmagic products were supported, maybe this one could be as well Philippe?

Thanks in advance!

    Hello @vbaudron,

    Most Blackmagic product are supported by OSX, so by Millumin.
    However, very recent product such as Intensity Thunderbolt are not well supported by OSX. That's why I created a mini-application with the own-BM drivers.

    Now, I'm supposed to integrate this mini-app directly in Millumin. As it uses the BM drivers, it has the best support and performance ;)

    Best. Philippe

    PS : I sent you this mini-app in your mailbox

    Hello vbaudron

    I would like to know if it's work well, because I think it's the only product I can use with my macbook air within thunderbolt or firewire.

    Thanks

    Hi Philippe and Vincent.

    I just bought new BMD - Ultrastudio Mini Recorder. It works fine with OSX and Millumin. :) I have tried three different inputs - iPad2 over HDMI (720p 60fps - works), Panasonic P2 over SDI (1080i 29,97fps - works) and Canon 550D over HDMI (no chance to get it works with BMD). Tomorrow I want try Panasonic GH2 hacked over HDMI - so I will let you know. (and in couple of days I will have GoPro Hero 3 Black Edition - so next try)

    My configuration is MacBook 15 Retina, 255 SSD, 16GB RAM - so there is more solutions to get source into Millumin on Mac with Thunderbolt. And Mini Recorder is even very cheap. ;) 

    I try how is the performance - three played layers, rotated, scaled, masked and slightly warped with mesh - all containing one input from Panasonic P2 1080i. Performance is great. 

    Lukas

    P.S. Philippe, can you send me your mini-app, please? Just to compare with standard configuration.

    Hi,

    I've recently got the BM Mini Recorder and it is working, though only in 1080p24 and with more latency than through the BM-media express.

    Is the BM mini-application baked in too millumin now or should I use it?

    Could you send it to me?

    Best,
    Birk

    Great stuff!

    This solution is the definitive best so far. 
    image
    From my testing I've found:
    1. B2M(syphon) - Millumin = 0.14s delay
    2. ResolumArena(syphon) - Millumin = 0.15s delay
    3. MediaExpress = 0.19s delay
    4. ResolumeArena = 0.21s delay 
    5. Modul8 = 0.24s delay  

    My setup is:
    MBPr 2.7
    16GB RAM
    Gopro Hero3 (black) 1080p24
    BMD Mini recorder (HDMI)
