    Did anyone tried to connect the Pocket Ultrascope with these new Express34 cards on a Macbook Pro running Windows7 bootcamp (as Mac OSX does not support USB 3.0 express43) yet?
    I won’t need 3G, mostly 720P or 1080i viewing.

    Hi Marc,

    It’s not going to work because the ExpressCard 1.0 interface (2.5 Gb/s)does not provide enough bandwidth requested by the Pocket UltraScope.

    regards

    Ok thanks… bummer actually.
    Does it completely not work, or does it give dropped frames in the software when using it?
    Also when you connect non-3G sources like SD or 720P?
    Then the bandwidth should be fine. As my MXO2 does transfer 1,45GHz 720P and 1080i sources through the Expresscard34.

    Thanks for your help.

    I was wondering the same about the Shuttle. My laptop PCI express slot doesn’t have the bandwidth to support the Shuttle, so it won’t let me install the software, even if I only wanted to use the lower bandwidth settings, SD or MJpeg, so most likely your in the same boat. I had to build an I7 with an X58 chipset motherboard with
    USB 3.
