    HDLink stopped working! Help!

    Posted by Michael Rothenberg on October 27, 2009 at 4:07 pm

    Hi guys,

    I am totally dependent on my HDLink to monitor, and in the midst of working in FCP yesterday it just seemed to stop.

    I ran the software utility, which flags it as needing a firmware update, but when I run it, the software crashes with an error. The top lines of the report are:

    Exception: EXC_BAD_ACCESS
    Codes: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE

    Is that enough for diagnosis? I’ve put in an email to the Help Desk but have not heard back.

    Thanks in advance.

    I called Blackmagic and the answer turned out to be installing an older version of the driver. Which worked, so I’m back in business.

    I guess I would suggest calling BMD first as they seem kind of slow to answer email help desk requests and aren’t monitoring this forum.
