!HELP! - HDX-SDI Thunderbolt & Yosemite ???

[theredroom]

Hi All -

Your help would be very much appreciated. Just bought a HDX-SDI for use on a new 27" iMac via Thunderbolt. Mac is running Yosemite 10.10.2 - I'm not having ANY luck getting Premier Pro (or anything for that fact) to recognize the Motu HDX-SDI.

Thoughts? Help? Return it?

Are other Motu boxes running on Thunderbolt over Yosemite?

Many thanks!

"The HDX-SDI connects to a Mac or Windows tower via the included PCI Express card, but it is also available with an ExpressCard adapter for laptops."

Unless MOTU has a way to connect this to your iMac that isn't listed, it will not work except as they say.

Sorry If I didn't state the question correctly.

The HDX-SDI connects via Thunderbolt... It's a Thunderbolt interface, the PCI Express Version is a different configuration.

I'm trying to get the Thunderbolt version to work as advertised... Any thoughts?

It does connect to the iMac via a Thunderbolt cable, that part is easy. Having drivers and software that work on OSX 10.10.2 seems to be a larger issue.

Ahhh... I didn't know that existed.

Perhaps the clue is here:

By using a codec directly supported by your editing software, you eliminate unnecessary extra stages of compression and decompression for maximum CPU efficiency and smooth editing.

So if your codec isn't the issue...

It looks to me that placing a support call to MOTU would be the prudent thing.

From my knowledge the MOTU video drivers do not support Yosemite (as of yet). I would check their website with further information of when those drivers may be released. Also I would take a look at this link for conformation:

Notice that the MOTU Video Drivers state,"Supports Mac OS X 10.6, 10.7, 10.8 and 10.9"
