Outputing to the Blackmagic codec without a card

[David Mallin]

Are there known issues with using Blackmagic cards with 10.3.9? Or is just not formally tested?

I already had my system at 10.3.9 when I bought my card, and there is no way I’m going through the process to move it back to 10.3.8. Also, all the new stuff Apple is releasing, such as iTunes, requires 10.3.9 to install.

Thanks
David

Hi David,

If your system is running fine, then that’s great and you can keep using it. We’ve performed testing on Mac OS X 10.3.9 and it basically worked OK. However we have received a lot of feedback from customers regarding a range of inconsistent problems with Mac OS X 10.3.9 and so we suggest using either a Panther, FCP 4.5 and DeckLink 4.8.1 combination or else Tiger with FCP5 and DeckLink 5.1.1. Hopefully your system will continue to perform well.
