Hello everyone!
I have run into a really harsh situation and very much need help from you video professionals.

I own a Blackmagic UltraStudio Express device that connects to Windows 8.1 (Boot Camp) on Macbook Pro 2015 via Thunderbolt 2 port.

Since my older video camera connected to UltraStudio Express via HDMI port is properly recognized in Blackmagic Media Express software, i was sure any other newer camera would also be easily recognized by UltraStudio Express via HDMI, so i bought a popular and highly suggested camera - Canon EOS M50 Mark II that has a micro HDMI clean output.

No matter what settings i tried UltraStudio Express does not display any video from Canon EOS M50 Mark II, only a black screen.

There is no issue with the micro HDMI to HDMI cable or Canon EOS M50 Mark II itself, because i connected it to a simple monitor via HDMI and video displays just fine.

Could it be something about the HDMI video signal Canon EOS M50 Mark II sends out that makes it incompatible with Blackmagic UltraStudio Express HDMI input?

Could it be that the problem is about Blackmagic Desktop Video Windows 10.3.5 version, and installing a newer version could help detect video signal from Canon EOS M50 Mark II?

Desperately looking for an advice.

I have only tried with the M50 version 1 and a HDMI to NDI converter. If I were you I'd try to borrow some other input device to see if that strengthens your theory that the Blackmagic is not doing it's job.

Hello!
My older Canon VIXIA HV40 video camera connected to UltraStudio Express via HDMI port is properly recognized in Blackmagic Media Express software.

There is no issue with the micro HDMI to HDMI cable or Canon EOS M50 Mark II itself, because i connected Canon EOS M50 Mark II to a simple monitor via HDMI and live video displays just fine.
