  Hi,

  We do provide a video desktop output which will extend your system’s desktop. However, it is not a full fledge “graphics card”.

  Playback and monitoring on a broadcast monitor 🙂

  We currently don’t support Vegas 7

  Kristian,

  Can HD footage digitized with a DeckLink HD Extreme be played back on the desktop (not an NTSC monitor) in realtime? or at all for that matter? What about through a standard definition DeckLink Extreme. I thought that any computer that has fast enough processors would be able to play back the files, because they are Quicktime based. Is that correct?

  I am getting 1080i footage delivered on SATA drives and I am wondering if I will be able to use them at my work which has a DeckLink extreme or at home where I have no capture cards.

  Both computers have fast enough processors and sata storage.

  Thanks,
  Rick

  Hi Rick,

  Sure. It will playback just fine as long as your storage is fast enough so you can work on it in Final Cut Pro or view it in Quicktime player on a system without a DeckLink card.
