Go into the Black Magic Control Panel (for Windows, it’s under Windows Control Panel/Sound and Hardware), and select the input type you’re using on the Shuttle (HDMI, Component, etc).

That should fix your issue.

You would need a 16-channel audio mixing board. Think of the SDI as being video only, and whatever your playback is (camera, VTR, PC), the audio needs to be fed to the mixer. Then connect the output of the mixer to the ATEM.

You also need to determine if your source is outputting digital or analog audio. This will determine the type of audio mixer you need, or if you need any A/D, D/A converters (some mixers take both digital and analog).

You need to record it first, then edit it, and export it to a compressed format, like h.264. You then upload that final file to youtube.

Recording in uncompressed is the best, but it takes a lot of hdd space and hdd speed. Their are lossy codecs, like MJPEG, DVCProHD, ProRes, and DXnHD, but you have to have the software that uses those encoding methods. Media Express does allow MPJEG, but it’s the worst of the bunch.

You need something like Premiere Pro to work in. It’ll allow you to capture in multiple formats (like DVCProHD), and edit those same files. Once your done editing, you can then export the final video to something smaller in h.264, ready to upload to Youtube. (For instance, 30 minutes of HD captured using DVCProHD is about 30GB, and once edited, that same 30 minute video can be exported to H.264 with a 2-pass encode, resulting in a 5GB file).

I’m not sure about that streaming program, as I haven’t currently done any streaming.

Regarding your drive speeds, you can capture uncompressed SD (standard definition) just fine, but you can’t capture HD uncompressed. What you can do is select the MJPEG codec as your capture type (in Media Express), and your hard drive will do just fine. I believe MJPEG in HD is 22MB/s, so you’ll be fine. Make sure you have plenty of hdd (hard drive) space though. The files can get fairly large.

Glad you figured it out, because I ran into the same issue yesterday, and finally figured it out last night.

Regarding capturing, you may need to use a NLE (non-linear editor) to capture, such as Premiere Pro. This will allow you to use different codecs to capture in, such as DVCProHD.

In Media Express, if your hard drives aren’t fast enough for uncompressed (which require around 200MB/s), you can try MJPEG, though obviously, the quality won’t be as good. If you want uncompressed, you’ll need a SSD hard drive (or two fast spindle-drives running in striped raid). Use the Black Magic Speed Test software to determine how fast your drives are.

Louie, I may have found your problem.

Use HDMI only. Go into Windows Control Panel, Hardware and Sound, and there should be the Blackmagic Control Panel software. Open it up, and I bet the input is set to HDMI with HDMI sound. Change it to component, then click Apply. Then change it back to HDMI with HDMI sound, click Apply, and see if that helps.

[Mike Squires]

Never mind, I figured it out. I had to go into the Blackmagic Design Control Panel, change the input from HDMI to Component, click Apply, then change it back to HDMI, and click Apply. Works like a champ now.

[Mike Squires]

I would still suggest using component connections.

Heck, just try composite. Use any source that has a composite output (yellow jack), set the Shuttle to NTSC (or PAL if that’s your region), and try that.

My ASUS G53SW works fine with it.

EDIT:
I bought my parents a ASUS G73 for Christmas, I will try it out on their laptop this weekend.

Kristian, the DXnHD codec (for encoding) isn’t a choice in either Media Express or CS5.5.

So, I guess I should clarify the question, will BMD’s license for DXnHD extend to the Intensity family?
