  Intensity Problems after Mac OS X 10.5.4 Update

  Posted by Sean Daily on July 1, 2008 at 10:29 pm

  Anyone else been having problems with their BlackMagic Intensity card after doing a 10.5.4 Mac OS X Leopard update? Since I did it, I haven’t been able to get any input or output working with the Intensity, and it was working before.. I’m beginning to suspect that 10.5.4 has broken BMD’s Intensity driver.

  Thanks for any replies…

  I have 2 identical systems and are having trouble with one. The other works seamlessly.
  The intensity card looses communication with the mother board if the system goes to sleep.
  when rebooted the system preference panel show only greged over options.

  I’ve tried taking the card out and putting it back in and it works fine for a while. I’ve also tried changing pcie slots, same thing happens. I’ve updated the drivers to version 2.0, still the same.

  I bought the cards at the same time just a few weeks ago and only started using the problematic one in the last week as I bought a new BC monitor.

  Systems are Mac Pro 2.8×8 10gig ram (also very new).

  I just uninstalled and reinstalled the Intensity 2.0 drivers and swapped HDMI cables.. same issues. This very much looks like 10.5.4 has broken the 2.0 Mac OS X drivers. I emailed BMD support and they’re looking into it.

  I also haven’t been able to output from FCP 5.1.4 using the Intensity Pro via HDMI since the Apple update. I’ve updated the drivers to version 2.0, but still no go. Another thing I’ve noticed since the Apple update is that my system is no longer recognizing the additional RAM I have installed, only recognizing the original 1GB Apple RAM. I’m using a Mac Pro 2×3 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon.
