what graphics card will you use with this. What monitor will you use – you must use a
1920×1200 monitor. Are you using an ATI 4670 ?

Hi Bob,

Thanks for your answer.
There are two intel chipsets on the motherboard (intel 3200 & intel ICH9R that handle PCI_express) and a dedicated chipset (XGI Volari Z9s) for VGA support (up to 1600×1200).
We don’t want to use the decklink as primary video controller but only for SDTV video output.

Thank you.

Ronan

Haven’t you looked at the Blackmagic website ? You MUST use a monitor that displays 1920×1200 (like a 24″ LCD monitor), and you must use only certain specific graphics cards. I have tried recently using a Samsung 24″ LCD that had a max resolution of 1920×1080, and IT DID NOT WORK.

I suggest that you look at this, and stop assuming anything –

Maurice,
as always you are correct, and I am an idiot. I owe you another beer (or something like that). Always reading too quickly, and responding without thinking.

Thanks Maurice !
