How to Set Up Thunderbolt to Capture and Monitor Video

This section guides you through how to set up your Blackmagic Cinema Camera with your computer for

video capture and waveform monitoring.

Connecting the Blackmagic Cinema Camera to your computer

Step 1. Connect power to the Blackmagic Cinema Camera using the included power adapter. Battery

power can be used but you'll usually want to connect the power adapter for longer sessions.

Step 2. Connect a Thunderbolt cable between the Thunderbolt port on the Blackmagic Cinema Camera

and a Thunderbolt port on your Mac OS X computer, or to a Thunderbolt disk array which is

attached to your Mac OS X computer.

Step 3. Use your camera to record or play back video so that your video software can obtain a video

signal from the camera.
