  • Intensity Pro 9.6.6. drivers and MC 6.03 on PC do not play nicely

    Posted by Neil Adamson on October 19, 2012 at 8:53 pm

    Hello

    There appears to be a problem with the Intensity Pro 9.6.6 update and Avid MC 6.0.3
    After installing drivers and restarting the win 7 box Media Composer disables the Intensity Pro hardware.

    When one tries to activate the hardware in MC there is a message that says the hardware could not be acquired and the hardware remains disabled.

    Reverting back to Desktop video for Windows 9.6.4 resolves this issue

    This is not the first time that a driver update for the Intensity Pro has broken in MC 6 – previous release I think they forgot to include a DLL that caused the problem.
    Not all the inspiring.
    Anyway the 9.6.6. update doesn’t seem to fix much in MC 6.0.3 so probably don’t need the update

    Regards
    Neil

    Ditto here on Mac 10.8.1 running Avid MC6.03.1.
    Giant leap backwards. Scrub with audio (caps lock ) on causes picture to go black and stays that way for a second after stopping.

    Also, bad with FCP7. Can only play a couple of seconds before dropping frames.

    Don’t they test this stiff at all?

    Hi Neil,

    I’m frankly amazed you are getting any decent use out of the Desktop video drivers other than version 9.5.3

    Do you not have unusable delays when trying to scrub with the caps lock on?

    If not, perhaps the Decklink sdi card is not supported in the same way the intensity pro is?

    I’d love to hear your feedback on this
