Decklink 4K Mini Monitor - No 4K Preview in Flame 2026.2.1 (Rocky Linux 9.5)

Hi everyone,

I’m having an issue getting a 4K preview signal out of Flame, and I’m hoping someone here has encountered this before.

The Problem:
My Decklink 4K Mini Monitor works perfectly for FHD (1920x1080 @ 23.97~30p) previews. However, when I switch to 4K-UHD (3840x2160 @ 23.98~30p) in Flame, the preview monitor goes black/no signal.

The Twist:
The hardware seems fine because Blackmagic Media Express displays the 4K-UHD signal perfectly on the same monitor. The issue seems specific to Flame.

My Setup:

  • OS: Rocky Linux 9.5

  • Flame Version: 2026.2.1

  • DKU: 20.2.0

  • Video IO: Decklink 4K Mini Monitor (Desktop Video v15.1)

  • Connection: HDMI 2.0 cable to a 27-inch 4K-UHD 10bit Monitor (3840x2160 @ 60Hz supported)

I’ve verified the Project Settings and Broadcast Monitor settings in Flame, but only FHD seems to trigger the output. Does anyone know if there’s a specific config file tweak or a known compatibility issue with this driver/DKU combination on Rocky 9.5?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

In the Setup utility page with the list of all the resolutions that you check to enable (embedded 3rd in your post), at the bottom there is a Preview Device popup. Yours is set to Aja when it should probably be BMD. I had the same issue setting up BMD video on a Mac for the first time last month, and @ManChicken was kind enough to point this out to me repeatedly over on Discord.
