Intensity Shuttle w/ Lenovo T420s Laptop WORKING!
The newest model of Lenovo laptops have with built-in USB 3.0 port. It came with the Renesas driver v. 2.0.32.0 installed, so I installed the Blackmagic Desktop Video 8.0.1 driver and plugged in my intensity shuttle.
And it worked.
Here’s a pic:

I got shuttle somewhat working yesterday with a brand new HP EliteBook 8560p. The output flashes every now and then so I can’t really say I’m getting the promised quality. The 8560p has QM67 chipset.
-
Really cool!! I hope BM sees this and adds these laptops to the Shuttle supported hardware. Alot of people are waiting for this so they can have a portable capture system.
-
The model I got came with a SSD (Solid State Disk) which clocked 230MB/s+ on Disk Speed Test, which is enough for 10-bit uncompressed 1080i60 (though not 1080p60)
-
The Shuttle won’t capture 1080 60p.
-
Probably worth mentioning before someone goes out and buys a 8560p – I didn’t do any capture on disk, just took a look at how/if Shuttle works with FMLE 3.2. Live streaming was what I wanted to do with Shuttle to begin with. And as said, the output keeps flashing..
-
I’ve done a handfull of live streams now using the T420s with either a single stream at 480p x 1mbps and dual stream 640×360 550kbps + 256×188 100kbps and so far there haven’t been any glitches. The CPU stayed between 60-70% and there were no problems with the output on send or receiving end.

hi chad,
what processor did you choose for your lenovo t420s? i5/i7? I have the 420 without the usb 3.0, but the 420 and 420s have the exact same chipset… i wonder if i could buy a caldigit usb 3.0 express/34 adapater.. would it work!?? -
usb 3.0 express/34 adapaters don’t have the needed bandwidth to support the Shuttle. I’ve tried it on two laptops with the same results.

Thanks so much for that response Danny. Saved me a lot of time 🙂 I have the Lenovo T420, i’m trying to see if i can exchange it at the computer store for a T420s which Chad said worked, the only problem is I don’t know which version of the T420s he used (processor speed is the only thing)…….

My T420s is a Core i5-2540M 2.6Ghz.
The important part though is the Sandy Bridge chipset. It was the first to support the 6Gbps bus speed, but was delayed by Intel and didn’t come out in time to make it into the T420 or T520, only the T420s
