Ultrastudio Mini Monitor NOT WORKING…not even aa light + CAT PIC
I sent off an email to BM Support, but I figure maybe there were some holiday lookie loos that might be able to help me out. Take a break from the family and drown yourself in my problems!
GOAL: Monitor Video on my NEC Monitor via Blackmagic Ultrastudio Mini Monitor for color grading in Davinci Resolve/Premiere Pro CS6.
PROBLEM: Mini Monitor not functioning correctly. Possibly hardware compatibility issues/user error.
MY COMPUTER
Intel Core i7-3770k Processor
Windows 7 SP1
Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UP5 TH Motherboard (Dual Thunderbolt Ports)
2x GeForce GTX 670 GPU’s (Not SLI’ed)MONITORS
2x LG EW224 (GUIs)
NEC PA271wTHINGS I TRIED (NONE WORKED)
1. Installed updated Drivers and Desktop Video from BM.
2. Installed Legacy Drivers.
3. Rebooted computer 1,000,000 times.
4. Displayport from GTX670—>Mini Monitor —> HDMI OUT —> DVI INPUT on NEC
5. Displayport from other GTX670 —>Mini Monitor —> HDMI OUT —> DVI INPUT on NEC
6. Thunderbolt output from MOBO —>Mini Monitor —> HDMI OUT —> DVI INPUT on NEC
7. Switched every cable with different cable.
8. Displayport from GTX670 —>Mini Monitor —> HDMI OUT —> HDTV
9. Displayport from other GTX670 —>Mini Monitor —> HDMI OUT —> HDTV
10. Thunderbolt output from MOBO —>Mini Monitor —> HDMI OUT —> HDTV
11. Praying to God. (it was worth a shot)
12. Yelling.
13. Sending back that Mini Monitor and buying a new Mini Monitor.
14. Repeat 1-12 with new Mini Monitor.No matter what I try:
1. Light never comes on.
2. Black Magic Control Panel never recognizes Mini Monitor (menus are locked).
3. Neither Premiere nor Resolve recognize Mini Monitor.
4. Screen on NEC always says “No Input”Interestingly:
1. I can plug the monitor directly into the Displayport of either GTX670 GPU’s and the monitor recognizes the signal. I can use as a third desktop monitor or monitor in Premiere.
2. The NEC doesn’t receive a signal when I connect a Thunderbolt cable from the MOBO’s Thunderbolt to the NEC’s Displayport.Please, let this be a small stupid problem I’ve overlooked.
Anybody and everybody’s help would be appreciated.– Patrick
