Hi all,
I’m also waiting. However I just installed the newest bluefish444 drivers in one of my systems, and wow bunches of realtime efx in the windows world.
Very Impressed. This isnt a shot at decklink since I have 2 of there cards and a hdlink, but I am concerned that with all there new products the software development team is streched. So I’ll wait..

Are you using Bluefish with Premiere? Does it work well? Which card.

Hi Shane..
Answer is YES and wildblue/av! the last driver release is fantastic! I have it on a dual amd mp2400 sys with u-320 raid 0’s Its able to do three realtime streams with color correction in real time. whats real nice is its scaleable so faster cpu’s = more realtime. I use both decklink and bluefish. and there both great products. My opinion is decklink leads in the hardware side and bluefish leads in software/drivers. One other note, many moons ago bluefish was on this board and then they made a knock about Quicktime which Blackmagic replyed back.. well after all is said and done bluefish captures qt and decklink captures avi..”in premiere” go figure.

Thanks for the info. Are the bluefish RT fx all processor driven or are they done by the cardset like Matrox does on Axio.

hey shane
it looks like they use the cpu. but some how they wrote the drivers to work with direct show. cause all premiere real time engine efx are realtime.Also have a nice feature that captures dv compressed avi’s via sdi. I would love to see it on a faster system, but i have the U320 raid on board and that helps with real time. Also seemes like everything they do is 10 bit. would like to see a 8 bit option.
