I’ve never used the monitoring feature on the Intensity… but I’m curious to find out if Media Express or a similar program must be running to pass through the card.

Have you checked you configuration in the Intensity Control Panel? I think you have to switch the input to analog if you’re using component…
-
Not sure if this is a common problem, but I HAVE had an Intensity card go bad before. In my experience however, the bad card had the control panel grayed out – not allowing any changes to be made to the settings. From the screenshots you attached, it looks like your card is still good… but who knows.
I would contact Blackmagic and see if they can help you out from this point. Good luck!

Okay those look like the correct settings.. have you tried plugging the 360 into the Intensity card without and monitoring with Media Express?
-
I never used the HDMI out for monitoring, so I’m not much help there, but I have been successfully using my intensity to capture from my 360 with a powered HDMI splitter. (1 cable to the Intensity, 1 to the TV.)
Have you checked the Intensity’s preferences through either Media Express or your (Windows?) Control Panel? BM fails to mention in the instructions that you must coordinate these settings with your source video.

I am hoping this was this issue – embarrassed to have overlooked it.
In theory though, this setup should work, correct? The Intensity should have no problem receiving a signal from another pc?
Thanks so much for the reply 🙂

Not knowing all that much about video frequency and compatibility of signal, I’m guessing a 1280×760 signal exiting my source pc isn’t the same as a 720p or similar signal meant to be captured by the Intensity pro…? (I figured it was all the same though, since I’m staying strictly digital.)
If this might be the problem, is there a way to convert the signal en route or buy some sort of new card that will export the proper signal?
I DID just realize however, (duh) that my signal was set to 75Hz rather than 60Hz. No idea how this happened, but I will try again @ 60Hz this week.

This is what I figured after messing with my resolution settings…
Unfortunately, my Radeon/monitor seem to be maxed out at 1650×1080 🙁
Any idea why Blackmagic would snob off amateur editors that might not be working with superscreens?

I wish I could offer some help, but I too am having difficulty with this scenario. I just started a thread in search of assistance: https://forums.creativecow.net/readpost/124/873206
I have been using my Intensity Pro for a couple of years now to capture HD video from my Xbox 360 and it has worked beautifully. I have recently discovered the anaglyph drivers from iZ3D and would love to record some game footage in 3D. Even though a few people have had success using screen capture software such as Fraps, (which I have also used successfully for years) none of these suites are working for me with the 3D driver enabled. IZ3D says they are working on a proprietary capture solution, but no release date has been announced and time is money to me.
Wanting to retain a high framerate and HD quality, I realized I would have to rely on hardware. After setting up two pcs and plugging my source gaming rig into my recording pc, I have been unable to get a picture through Media Express or Premiere Pro. As mentioned in my other thread, I have tried a few different combinations – having the only bit of luck with the Intensity attached as a secondary monitor.
Could the Intensity not recognize the signal from the source pc because of resolution or frequency issues? Is there a way to adjust the GPU output settings to match that of a TV or 360 or other device that the Intensity would recognize? Why would it not recognize a signal directly from a video card? I’m a rookie in this department… so I’m not sure what is and is not compatible.

Subscribed for an update. I spent hours yesterday trying to get my Intensity Pro to work with PPCS4 to no avail. Good to see it’s possibly not my fault 😉
