There should have been no deactivation, that is likely why it is messed up. In the meantain use the NEO HD (not HDV) trial, that will get you 15-days until solved.

Has this been addressed? We often find the activation email is caught in people’s spam filter. Email support@cineform.com as here might be people still there before the long weekend, otherwise use the ticket system at http://www.cineform.com/support.

Unfortunately not. I too was working a booth so I swooped through of only 5 minutes. Spoke brief with sales (Frank Conti) but wasn’t able to find the engineering staff around at the time.

Sorry I got technical then, I thought I was still replying to Luke.

We are selling capture and convertion utilities under the Neo HDV/HD/2K product name, these all support the Decklink line up. Currently these tools do not output to any HDSDI cards, but we will be adding that shortly. As for editing tools like Prospect HD/2K, they include the Neo functionality (so Decklink capture), but editing is still AJA only until we can get the Blackmagic driver to hold an output frame while we switch from scubbing to playback (which handled by different processes in Prospect HD — causing the issue), currently the Blackmagic drivers have no simple way to support this feature, so we can’t yet seamlessly edit with the decklink cards (you get a black flash as the playback starts.) All the code to support decklink editing it place for nearly two years, just need a small change to the decklink driver to make all CineForm products support Decklink — OR — a month of free time to workaround the issue (but we never found that time in the last two years.) So if Blackmagic engineering it is feeling up to a small add on, full CineForm support is just around the corner (I tried to find someone to nag about this again at your booth.)

Here is the press release that adds DeckLink support across all our products : https://www.cineform.com/press/rel070412-NEO.htm As it was just before NAB a lot of information can be missed. The website is still mainly discussing Intensity but that will be updated when we return from NAB. We haven’t tested Multibridge but that will likely work also.

CineForm DOES support all the DeckLink cards for ingest in all our new product (from Neo HDV, Aspect HD, Prospect HD, etc.) I’m supprised anyone at BlackMagic would want to suppress this information (maybe you’re not keeping up with all the press releases.) The CineForm codec is signicantly higher quality then any motion JPEG implementation (well any DCT compression), that’s way we can are do charge for the encoding, but decoding is free, so content sharing is no issue. Here is my blog entry on the codec comparison with MJPEG : https://cineform.blogspot.com/2007/03/mjpeg-vs-cineform.html All the products are rev’d May 1.

All those motherboard vendors are fine. I haven’t used Core 2 Duo E6600, although the E6700 is similar and works very well. The Xena will be your primary reference display so the Graphic Card is of less importance to a CineForm setup.
