6.6 and Decklink Output using XPx64
Anyone have any experience using the new Decklink driver(6.6) on XPx64?
Have just installed 6.6 and now find that outputting video via the Blackmagic Deck Control utility, to Digibetacam-PAL, I have a 12 frame hold of the first frame (the clip is delayed 12 frames). The “Prefs-Put Offset” only gives me +-5 frames to compensate so can’t get this back correct.
“Get Clip” works fine.
I have been using 5.6.1 with no problems.Also I can’t type in numeric values into the timecode IN/OUT boxes.
Also any one have any experience with 6.6/XPx64/Vegas8a ???

Hi Quokka
I see you are trying all the forums as well, it sounds like you have a smilar set-up to me XP64, Vegas 8.0 / 8.0a and a Decklink Device.
I have had no luck at all with this set-up, although I did get an email from Decklink, saying that the 64bit 6.6 drivers SHOULD work with Vegas 8.0 (build 144), but it may not work with 8.0a.
I have tried this myself, but do not still have any luck with it.
Let me know if you try it, and it works for you.
Cheers

Hi There.
I have just downloaded and tried BlackMagic Drivers versions 64 bit 6.6.1, in XP64, and just as I suspected it did not work, with the same probklem as before, the device just does not show up in Vegas.
BUT.
After looking around I noticed that in the Vegas8 directory, in the “Video Hardware Drivers” directory, that there was no refernce to Decklink at all.
I compared this to a system that worked, running XP32 and the 32bit drivers and there was a file there called “DeckLink Vegas.dll”
So just a complete lucky try, I copied this file onto the 64bit system, and hey Presto, it only worked, I can now get the option to select the Multibridge as a preview device and, to my complete surprise I even get an output which seems to work. Although not 100%, but it works.
So my conclusion is that the 64bit drivers supplied by Decklink just do not install correctly, or they do not put this dll into the correct place.
I will have a really good look at this Monday, but at least we may be able to get an output from the Decklink now in 64bit systems.
Quoka if you PM me, I can send you the dll which sort of worked, basically the thing which didn’t work was if I selected an HDV 1440×1080 50i Project in Vegas it would only preview in SD mode, but if I selected a 1920×1080 50i project it would output perfectly in HD.
This is fantastic, at least I feel I am getting somewhere, I brought this MultiBridge Box over a year ago, and have been fighting ever since with Vegas to get it to work.
What I can’t understand is that I have been in communication with BlackMagic over this issue for a quite a few weeks now, and it would seem a simple problem, but they haven’t managed to come up with any suggestions.
