  Intensity Pro issues in Windows 7

  Posted by Luke Rieschiek on December 30, 2009 at 12:12 pm

  I am using an Intensity Pro to capture video from another computer (running a VJ program) to feed into a 3rd party app (MediaShout) which adds text and graphics and projects the output to a display screen. I had this running over HDMI on win XP, but now I’ve put the card into a Windows 7 system and can’t get it to work.

  In HDMI, I get green & pink images, but nothing appears in MediaShout. I’ve also tried it in YPbPr, it works properly in ME, but I still get nothing in MS although it does recognise the device. I’ve tried vaious comnbinations of formats, resolutions and refresh rates, but this is as far as I can get.

  System specs:
  AMD Athlon x4 630 quad 2.8GHZ
  4GB DDR2 RAM
  Windows 7 Pro x64

  Any assistance or direction is appreciated.

  Thanks,

  Luker

  I am also having issues with Windows 7 and the Intensity

  I have a DVI to HDMI converter cable hooked up to one computer that outputs my VJ software to the card.
  So far all I get is black screen, no flicker or anything

  I hope you found a solution to this problem you had a couple years back.

  I have been trying to get an answer to a Windows 7, MediaShout, BlackMagic Decklink Extreme configuration for the last 2 weeks.

  In your configuration, I assume you were using a BlackMagic card to output MediaShout video as opposed to a standard PC graphics card?

  MediaShout doesn’t see my Blackmagic card. Is this typical?

  I haven’t solved it yet, just worked around it with SD over IEEE1394, but I’d like to get it working again. I’ve tried the Windows 7 drivers which were released since, and still no joy. MediaShout sees the card as a source, but the video doesn’t come through.

  I’ve just read that it could have something to do with changes to DirectShow / Media Foundation in Windows 7, but I’ve no idea what to do about it.

  I’m currently using a GeForce 9600GT for the graphics output. We’ve upgraded the video player system (other computer), so this one will only need to key text over the video. If there’s a way to get the Intensity Pro to do that, it would be awesome.

  Your configuration would most likely be supported by SongShow Plus
