Ultrastudio laptops
Dear Decklink users,
Any of you have any experience with Ultrastudio Pro and Flash Live encoder?
I have read that by disabling the input preview USB 3 based products works with FLE.
Another point that I would like to ask is if any recommendations for a Windows USB 3 based laptop are around this forum.
We would like to order a laptop and to be sure that is USB 3 Decklink compatible.
Thanks for any help.

from the Blackmagic website –
We currently recommend the 15″ HP Envy. We are in the process of qualifying more notebooks.

i have a desktop that had intel i5 with P55 chipset motherboard, and asus u3s6 USB 3.0 card. Ultrastudio did not work. I had to buy i7 with x58 chipset. now it works. I’m still trying to figure out what software should i use to capture video. premiere cs5 does not recognize blackmagic. Don’t know why. any ideas?

The Envy 15 is discontinued. Anyone have any other suggestions as to which laptop might work with the UltraStudio?

We purchased an MSI GE 620 to go with our Ultra Studio after hitting several USB 3.0 dead ends with other laptops. Yes, the MSI GE620 will work. But I must preface that we had issues with the laptop itself.
I had 8 busy days to give this project a shot, before the end user needed it.
The Ultrascope ran fine for the first day or two. After 3 days the laptop started to have boot issues and sluggish operation. The Media Express and other programs would randomly be unable to find the device. WME would drop frames immediately. I thought it was the ultrascope, but I dropped in an Intensity 3.0 and was having the same issues. Once every 3 or 4 boots, the planets would aligns and things ran well. The laptop itself began having more critical failures with performance outside of any capture related activities. I build 100+ computers/encoders every year and would normally run far away from any MSI product. I am really hoping someone finds another working model of Laptop.Bob D

We also have purchased a few of the GE620s from MSI as it was a recommended laptop from BMD. Bob, do you have any tips from your experience to make it a more stable environment?
