Cool. Your Mac has PCIe slots with assignable lanes. In slot 2, it’s probably only running on x1 PCIe bandwidth which does not have enough bandwidth for 10- bit Uncompressed HD. You might want to just check the expansion slot utility and see if can assign more bandwidth to slot 2 if you really want to use that slot.

Hi,

The output you have connected on the card is definitely SDI and hence digital. The back of your monitor is composite analog. These 2 are not compatible. There should be a breakout cable that connects to the breakout port on the back of the card. You need to use the Y output connector on the breakout cable.

hi James

Is the card in the top slot of your mac pro? Is the Expansion Slot Utility set to option number 2?

I have a strong suspicion that the monitor is analog only. It has composite BNC inputs, not SDI.

You can confirm this but setting your output to Analogue NTSC/PAL (Y out) in the DeckLink preferences, take the Y output from the breakout cable of the card and connect it to your monitor.

Do you have any divx codecs in /Library/Quicktime?

We have reported this issue to Apple and are waiting for their response.

Hi,

Are you trying to monitor HD or SD?

Is this an SDI connection? Does your monitor have SDI inputs?

Hi JimE,

SATA drives may be fast enough but they do slow down as they are filled up. What kind of results are you getting with our disk speed test application?

Hi,

Multiple card support is mainly a developer feature accessible via our DirectShow and Quicktime APIs as well as via On-Air.

It can certainly work with one HD Extreme and Intensity but there’s currently no way to configure which inputs to use on the cards which is why it currently is only support in the On-Air application with Intensity (which has only HDMI inputs).

Hi Jan,

We don’t support Windows server 2008 as yet and so have not been testing on this platform. It’s possible that there are incompatibilities which we are not aware of with Windows Server 2008.

Hi Tim,

1. Yes. You will be able to work with DVCPRO HD just like you work with ProRes or Uncompressed.

2. No. If you down convert, all outputs will be in SD.

3. Yes. It provides a frame buffer so you can monitor out of Apple Color.
