    Encountered the same issue, it’s weird you can’t install it when your system meets the minimum requirements.

    Here’s a workaround,

    1. Mount the Decklink_Macintosh_7.2.6.dmg
    2. Copy the contents to your desktop.
    3. Control+click Decklink Installer 7.2.6 and Show Package Contents.
    4. Control+click distribution.plist and open with TextEdit.
    5. Edit the ff.

    my.target.systemVersion.ProductVersion >= ‘10.6’ to my.target.systemVersion.ProductVersion >= ‘10.5’

    system.version.ProductVersion >= ‘10.6’ to system.version.ProductVersion >= ‘10.5’

    6. Save and install.

    Got it working and testing it right now, seems to working fine but I would still advice you to try it at your own risk. =)

    Hi,

    7.2.6 is Snow Leopard specific. If you’re not using Snow Leopard as your OS, then stick to the previous version. The next driver release will work on both Leopard and Snow Leopard.
