- In Dragonframe's Preferences | Capture, select Enable Blackmagic module and restart Dragonframe.
- You may need to configure the device Input and Connection to match your camera's output. You can do this through the Capture | Video Settings... screen in Dragonframe.
- macOS Note: If you have installed the Blackmagic Desktop Video software, and the device is connected, but the computer doesn't detect it, check System Preferences | Security and Privacy | General to see if the application has been blocked.
