@Jason Shald – I don’t understand what you mean by “using a compressed codec”? at what point in the workflow can you specify a certain codec?

On my end, I’m having problems ingesting HD SDI video into Blackmagic’s capture software Media Express, just tons of dropped frames. Can’t believe Blackmagic would recommend a laptop for use with a capture card that can’t even ingest HD footage! ridiculous.

Hi
I purchased two MSI GE620’s specifically for use with the Ultrastudio SDI & Ultrastudio PRO.
Problem: I can ingest SD video fine, but i’m getting image drops (flickering) when ingesting HD video.

I don’t think the hard drive is the problem, since disk speed tests run fine, it must be linked to USB3.0 that is not fast enough?
Is this the case & how is this possible beings how this laptop model is specifically recommended by Blackmagic???

Many thanks for your help, i’m at a loss here – is there anything i can do to ingest HD-SDI video using USB3 Ultrastudio on MSI GE 620?
