Decklink Extreme on Pci 32 bits Windows?
Hello. My question: it works the DL Extreme on a motherboard with 32 bits Pci (915, 925, 955 Intel chipsets or Nvidia nforce 4)?
The blackmagic website “recommend” 64 bits slot but is NOT strictly forbid to use 32 bits slot.
Please, any experiences?
Thanks in advance.

For simple playing back purposes, this works OK. For recording or Premiere support, it does not work at all.

Does it help to have 2x250GB SATA drives in a Raid 0 configuration? Or were you already referring to using Raid?

No. PCI bandwidth is the bottleneck, not the disk IO. Allready tried using an adaptec 39320 in a 32-bit PCI slot. DeckLinks should be in 64-bit slots for NLE purposes. For simpler things (like keying graphics over live), 32-bit is okay.

Hi Manolo, Mark and Yves.

Could you clear this out please?
Does this means you can capture from a deck, and then output and record to same deck, a simple stream with maybe some titles?
That for me is simple things. Can you do that with Decklink in a 32-bit slot and a Raid?

No.
Like I said: capturing won’t work reliably on 32bits.
Simple playback seemed to work on older drivers. I haven’t tested this on 4.8 yet.What does work is the livekey application.
