DecklinkLink HD Extreme 3D+ – In The Dark Again
I left my system alone for a very long time (over a year). Shortly after I started using it again, the hard drive failed on me so I got a new one and re-installed all my OS and software on that all over again
I’m back where I started when I first put the system together – the Blackmagic Decklink HD Extreme 3D+ not working. Here’s the system details…

You have the deck listed as outputting NTSC 480I SD and Media Express listed as 720p, is that correct?

That 480i (Standard Defintion) was the format that the mini-DV tapes were recorded in.
480i -> 704 x 480 pixels (60 interlaced frames/Sec) = 337,920 pixels total
The last time I had this working right (when I previously posted on this forum and got the recommended settings from Joshua
Director of Support at BlackmagicDesign), I switched them to those settings for the tape deck and same input settings from the Media Express App. and left them that way.Original posting:

I forgot to mention that , I tried re-installing the legacy 7.9.5 Blackmagic Design drivers also (as recommended by Joshua) in the previous post but that trick didn’t get some “magic” happening this time around.

Well, it’s been 3 weeks and still no reply from Blackmagic Design’s tech support team on my problem with this card.
So Shelling out $950.00 for this card essentially got me:
1. a non-working card/ software drivers
2. a non-working tech support system
