Desktop Video Firmware Updater is a component utility bundled with Blackmagic Design's hardware support software, not a standalone application. It is not separately updatable—updating comes through Blackmagic Design's main support and driver download page for your specific hardware device. Visit blackmagicdesign.com/support, identify your device (DeckLink, UltraStudio, Video Assist, etc.), and download the latest Desktop Video driver suite for macOS. The installer will include the current firmware updater and any other support tools needed. Since Blackmagic Design actively maintains these drivers and now ships native Apple Silicon builds for recent hardware, updating ensures both Intel and Apple Silicon compatibility. With the macOS 28 deadline in late 2027, verify that your current driver version supports your Mac's architecture—if you are running an older Intel-only build, a fresh driver download will bring you current and add Apple Silicon support if your hardware and driver suite support it.
