Hi There.
I have just downloaded and tried BlackMagic Drivers versions 64 bit 6.6.1, in XP64, and just as I suspected it did not work, with the same probklem as before, the device just does not show up in Vegas.
BUT.
After looking around I noticed that in the Vegas8 directory, in the “Video Hardware Drivers” directory, that there was no refernce to Decklink at all.
I compared this to a system that worked, running XP32 and the 32bit drivers and there was a file there called “DeckLink Vegas.dll”
So just a complete lucky try, I copied this file onto the 64bit system, and hey Presto, it only worked, I can now get the option to select the Multibridge as a preview device and, to my complete surprise I even get an output which seems to work. Although not 100%, but it works.
So my conclusion is that the 64bit drivers supplied by Decklink just do not install correctly, or they do not put this dll into the correct place.
I will have a really good look at this Monday, but at least we may be able to get an output from the Decklink now in 64bit systems.
Quoka if you PM me, I can send you the dll which sort of worked, basically the thing which didn’t work was if I selected an HDV 1440×1080 50i Project in Vegas it would only preview in SD mode, but if I selected a 1920×1080 50i project it would output perfectly in HD.
This is fantastic, at least I feel I am getting somewhere, I brought this MultiBridge Box over a year ago, and have been fighting ever since with Vegas to get it to work.
What I can’t understand is that I have been in communication with BlackMagic over this issue for a quite a few weeks now, and it would seem a simple problem, but they haven’t managed to come up with any suggestions.

Hi Kristian
The MultiBridge actually does work in the system, in fact I am running Premiere Pro CS2, and it works perfectly in that programme, it just does not get seen by Vegas 8.0 or 8.0a at all.
Many Thanks

Hey DSE
Just checking are you saying that there are new drivers as of 29th Oct, or are you talking about 6.6 drivers from 26th Oct, as it is the 6.6 drivers from 26th Oct, that are basically not working for us XP64 users.
Let me know, if you know something I dont regarding new drivers.
Many Thanks for your response

Hi Quokka
I see you are trying all the forums as well, it sounds like you have a smilar set-up to me XP64, Vegas 8.0 / 8.0a and a Decklink Device.
I have had no luck at all with this set-up, although I did get an email from Decklink, saying that the 64bit 6.6 drivers SHOULD work with Vegas 8.0 (build 144), but it may not work with 8.0a.
I have tried this myself, but do not still have any luck with it.
Let me know if you try it, and it works for you.
Cheers

Hi There.
Many thanks for getting back to me, I have reverted back to version 8.0 (Build 144), and re-installed the drivers, and still nothing I am afraid to report.
It just seems the 64bit drivers and the Multibridge box, just will not talk to Vegas, no matter what order I install things, or try.
Please don’t give up on me, if you have anything else you would like me to try, beta drivers, etc, please get in touch.

Hi There
Well you say this, but I DO have it working here, I have a system with a Decklink HD Pro card, and in Vegas 8.0 and Decklink drivers 6.4 it did not work at all, but after installing Decklink 6.5.1 drivers, the option to preview in Vegas 8 Pro now shows the extra Display Device of Blackmagic Card. If you select this you get the option of 8bit or 10bit display output, and the output works. In fact the output seems quicker than this solution in Vegas 7.0e.
So although it technically may not capture, etc, the output is working here just fine, now all I need are the 64bit 6.5.1 drivers for the Multibridge Pro, to get my main system working.

Hi There.
I received this from Black Magic Support
Matt,
The latest driver for DeckLink or Multibridge will not work with Vegas 8.
As Vegas 8 was just released, we are working towards that support. Upcoming driver releases should offer Vegas 8 support. Hope this helps.
