The following instructions explain how to install the Blackmagic software (drivers) prior to capturing in Studiocode. This installation process is a pre-requisite of capturing in Studiocode and should only need to be done once, not each time prior to capturing.

1. Click here then click Download Only (no need to fill out the form) to download and install the Blackmagic Desktop Video drivers. We recommend driver version 10.5.

2. When the download is complete, there will be .zip file located wherever you chose to download it, called, Blackmagic_Desktop_Video_Macintosh_10.5.zip

3. Double click on the .zip file to unzip it and you will see the DesktopVideo_10.5.dmg in the same location. Double click on the .dmg to open the installer.

4. In the window that opens, double click on the installer icon.
