Is the Decklink card unstable on PC platform?

[Dkh Lai]

Being a BMD user, I Would like to share some of the
experience with BMD card and Windows

After many version of BMD Wins Driver has been
released,I’ve found that it was very stable editing
with APPro and BMD. All you need is some experience
on how to keep a pc healthy (e.g: do not installed
uneccessary softwares) and a validated pc components,
Then it will be ready to go.

The realtime capability is good with APPro 1.5.1 and
for AFX6.5 you will have Preview out to broadcast
monitor.

just my 5 cents advise

I currently run 2 Decklink Extreme editing stations. Both running on dual Xeons on a Tyan and Supermicro motherboard. I would say that the drivers are pretty stable now and have had no problems at all while editing our TVC projects. This includes working on AFX either on the same workstation, or in collaboration with other workstations. I really like working on it, especially now that I am able to use DV clips and uncompressed clips at the same time. Not to mention real time playback of TGA sequences. Most of all the BMDs output quality is pristine, especially thru the SDI.
