Hi All,  
Has anyone got there preview monitor output to work on Flame 2026. I have downloaded and installed BMD Desktop video which recognises the Ultrastudio Monitor 4k. I have switched to BMD in the preview window in Flame setup. When i launch flame it recognises the BMD monitoring video & Audio except when i go to the monitoring tab in the preferences its greyed out with no option to turn it on. Can anyone help on this as its driving me mad. On a closing note i am using a brand new Mac Ultra Studio 3 running Sequoia.  
Thank you as always.

**SOLVED**

Black Magic Ultra Studio needed a firmware update. Now all up and running.

Thank you for listening.
