    You don’t need a capture card to install the drivers. But as far as I know, there are no “Decklink codecs.” Just settings for existing codecs for the various NLEs. Apple has ProRes, so Decklink installs drivers that allow the card to see those ProREs files. But it doesn’t install ProRes.

    What Decklink Codec are you talking about?

    Hello Shane,
    First, thanks for your answer.
    Well, I have a Decklink Extreme 2 HD Card.
    On the other hand, I fixed the problem because I installed all the Blackmagic software and I can work without the decklink card installed.
    Thanks for your help.
    Best Regards
    Alejandro

    Excellent, that’s correct. You can install our drivers without a card and that will allow working with the project settings and codecs.

    We used to have a separate codec pack, but we discontinued it. It is much simpler to maintain one installer package than two.

    Always make sure that you have the same version of the drivers installed on both the systems.

    Sincerely,
