    Can anyone please confirm if the Intensity Shuttle USB 3.0 version will work on an iMac using its USB 3 port?

    I am moving over to a Mac from a PC, and would rather use the same device, than have to buy the Thunderbolt version.

    Thanks in advance for any help

    Haven’t done it myself, but they offer Mac drivers for the device (same Desktop Video drivers as other devices). A quick Google search suggests that driver support was in “beta” a year ago but I didn’t see any issues listed since then, which is encouraging.

    Probably just have to try it out in your workflow, and make sure it works with your devices and produces the output that you want.

    First of all, OSX doesn’t support the USB3 Shuttle. I assume your mac has a USB3 port. See if this can help.

    [Danny Hays] “First of all, OSX doesn’t support the USB3 Shuttle. I assume your mac has a USB3 port.”

    This is confusing. Does OSX support the Shuttle USB 3 or not?

    I’m thinking of buying one to capture the output of another computer.
