    3 Monitor Setup

    Posted by Jake Deeds on March 6, 2013 at 5:28 am

    Hey guys,

    Quick question, wanted to make sure Im correct. I want to run three monitors while I edit.. I am using 2 now, everything works great. Just purchased a 32″ LCD TV that I want to utilize for clients to see my Program Window in Premier Pro.

    *If I purchase the Blackmagic Intensity Pro, Will I be able to use all three monitors?

    2 DVI through my current graphics card (Nividia GeForce 8800 GT)
    1 HDMI through the Intensity Pro

    Current Set Up:
    MacPro 3,1
    NVIDIA GeForce 8800GT
    2x – 22″ Acer Monitors
    OSX – 10.6.3
    Processor – 2x 3GHz Quad Core Intel Xeon
    Memory – 8GB

    Or am I way off and should do something different?

    Yes as long as whatever is on the timeline, is the signal that BMD Intensity Pro supports.

    Thanks Alex


    [Alex Gerulaitis]     “Yes as long as whatever is on the timeline, is the signal that BMD Intensity Pro supports.”

    This may be dumb, but should I be looking under “SD/HD Format Support” on their spec sheet?

    “HD Format Support:
    1080i50, 1080i59.94, 1080i60, 1080p23.98, 1080p24, 1080p25, 1080p29.97, 1080p30, 720p50, 720p59.94 and 720p60.”

    So If my timeline has 1080p29.97 footage, I’ll be all set? Or is there a different list of supported signals I should be looking for?

    Thanks again,
    Very Helpful

    That’s it.
