  • Blackmagic card/prodcut as extra desktop?

    Posted by Chad Briggs on August 17, 2010 at 4:29 am

    Greetings blackmagic gurus! Does anyone know if the current Blackmagic lineup (any of the video output boards/devices) allows you to use your blackmagic card as an extra monitor/desktop when it’s not in use by editing applications? I know the blackmagic cards used to allow this on the Mac, but wasn’t sure about the PC side.
    thanks!
    Chad

    Not anymore on either platform.

    So back in the day, it worked on XP and OSX, but never Vista/7. Furthermore this feature was ONLY available on our 4x Lane PCI-express cards.
