Which slot for Intensity HDMI card?

I plan on adding an X1900 XT and a 3ware RAID card.
Which slot should I put a BlackMagic Intensity HDMI card into?

I love it when I can actually answer something for someone other than make suggestions.
Les, the Intensity and Intensity Pro card works best (and awesomely) when installed in the TOP slot of your Mac Pro. X1900xt occupies the bottom and your RAID card can sit at second to top (that's where my SATA card is sitting right now). Black Magic support and I discussed this as I was getting lousy performance in another slot.
Also, reminder, if you are using your Intensity to monitor to an HD LCD (or other HDMI tv) be sure to turn on the TV BEFORE you boot up Final Cut for best results.
cheers and enjoy that card!

  • Which slot for the airport extreme card?

    I just picked up an airport extreme card for my mac pro. I located the slot in the mac pro, but there are two on top of each other.
    Question: which slot do I have to use: the upper or lower one?
    Iemke

    Thanks for the answer, however inserting the card was
    not the difficult thing. Finding the correct wire for
    the antenna was the difficult thing. A apple
    certified technician helped me with that issue.

    I want to buy the mac Pro and install the airport extreme card - what is the model number of the new card (apple tech tell me it is different from the old G4 card of the same name) and which is the correct wire to attach it to?
    BTW I know my way around the G4 desktop having upgraded &/or replaced everything screwed down in those
    this knowledge will speed up the purchase process-thanks

  • There is no slot for my SD card on my HP Stream 8

    I can notFind the SD slot, HP stream 8.
    I have the external component identification sheet with numbers one through 10 and I can find all but the SD slot.
    It looks like it may have to go back because I can't find.
    Also I do I get the app Amazon and/or Kindle to show up on my Windows 8.1 screen it shows it's there but there is no icon or window you might say an 8.1 screen because I would like to download magazines or books  and read killing Patton for instance.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

    The micro SD slot is underneath the back cover which you will have to pop off. There is a little slot for your fingernail or other tool at the upper right corner to get started.  You will probably want to just put a card in once and then leave it there, and then transfer your stuff on and off the tablet/card with WiFi.

  • Which pcie slot for 8 lane card?

    Hi,
    my Caldigit card (for HDPro) is 8 lane.
    Where do I put it? Slot 2 (pcie 2.0 - X16 lane) or slot 3 (pcie - X4 lane) ???
    always appreciate your support

    If it really needs 8 lane bandwidth, put it in slot 2. It should work in a 4 lane slot, though, since that is 1G Bytes per second each way, which is far more than any video requires. See the first paragraph after Figure 1 and the table just after Figure 2 of:

  • Blackmagic Intensity HDMI cards and FCP

    I was hoping someone has had a chance to try out or see the new HDMI blackmagic Intensity cards? I have a 1.25 DP G4 and am trying to monitor
    my HDV video though a CRT HDTV, but don't have the $ for the more expensive cards (Kona, etc...).
    This card is HDMI but less than half the cost. I fear, though that my old
    G4 will not accomodate the card. Thanks in advance for your time.

    It appears to be PCIExpress card:
    Installation:
    PCI Express 1 lane, compatible with 1,4,8,16 lane PCI Express slots

    I don't believe your G4 is a PCIExpress Mac:

  • Does Macbook pro have PCMCIA slot for Panasonic P2 cards?

    Just wondered if any Panasonic HVX200 camcorder users can tell me how they get their P2 card footage into this new Macbook pro. Does it have a PCMCIA slot, if not, how do you do it?

  • If my motherboard has no PCI slot for a graphics card, can I add a slot to it?

    I was traded under warrenty a Compaq Presario with a H-Apricot-RS780L-uATX (Apricot) motherboard.  It has onboard ATI Radeon HD 3000 graphics and no PCI slot to upgrade.  Can I add a slot to it or am I stuck with it?

    Hi,
    Sorry to say, but you can't add a PCI Express x16 slot to the Motherboard.

  • Which slot should I install my Blackmagic Intensity Pro PCIe card?

    Hi there,
    I just purchased myself a Blackmagic Design Intensity Pro capture card. It's a x1 lane PCIe card and according to the manual, it should work in any PCIe slot on the Mac Pro. However, in the readme file, it states, "If using a Mac Pro, it is recommended to use PCIe slot 4 for Intensity capture cards."
    What exactly does this mean? Does this mean it's recommended to use the x4 lane slot? Or the 4th slot in the Mac Pro? I'm a little confused.
    Thanks for your time and I hope to hear from someone soon.
    Regards,
    Daniel

    Depends when it was written, and for which Mac Pro.
    Does it support 16x slots? maybe. But slots 3&4 are 4x and #4 refers to the top most just under the hard drives.
    Some cards use to run best in 8x slot which was slot #4 on early Mac Pro but which was also PCIe 1.1.
    Mac Pro 2008 and later, doesn't matter.
    Apple had trouble with their own Fibre Channel card not working correctly in 2008, and not working to full bandwidth.
    I passed answering before because you just need to look at what your PCIe slots provide.

  • Blackmagic Design Intensity Pro HDMI card

    Hey I work with Final Cut Pro 6.0.5 on a Mac Pro OS x 10.5.7, and we are looking into getting a Blackmagic Design Intensity Pro HDMI card. I'm just looking for assurances that these cards do work with my version of final cut pro, and any tips or tricks to installing and working with them.
    Thanks,
    Tim McDonald

    I have the Intensity, didn't need the pro. The card works, though sometimes flakey. Audio always work fine when playing through HDMI to monitor (if monitor has speakers) but video is hit or miss. While it does work more often than not, there are times when I have to sit and keep switching the resolution output from 720/60, to 720/59.94 to 1080i/59.94 and so on just to get a picture. It's annoying and honestly sometimes it takes 5 minutes to get it work.
    Blackmagic's awesome support told me the reason I was having problems was because I had a cheap HDMI cable. Apparently it works flawlessly all the time with Monster $150 HDMI cables. Bulls...
    Make sure you have the newest Blackmagic software. I believe they are on version 3.2.

  • Best slot for new PCIe FW-expansion card

    Hi there,
    I just upgraded my PM Quad with a NVIDIA 7800 GTX 512 card which occupies PCIe slots 1 and 2.
    Now I will have to install a FW 400/800 expansion card for operation of an external audio interface. I know that slot 3 would probably offer the best performance for the next card to be installed (8-lane)- but is likely to obstruct proper air circulation for the fan of my graphics card.
    So slot 4 (4-lane) would be the only alternative. I cannot judge if this would be sufficient for proper audio performance.
    So, any comments from the audience?
    Regards,
    Oliver

    Great - glad to hear that.
    Just inserted my card into slot 4 - real plug 'n play - smooth operation - no complaints so far!

  • Which slot should I put in PCI card in?

    Finally going to migrate from my older Mac to my new Intel Mac. I'm in the process of putting my fiber channel card into my new machine so I can connect it to my Xserve Raid. As I was about to put the card in the new machine on slot #2, I noticed that slot #4 said "X4/RAID" on it. Now I'm wondering which slot I should put the card in. Does it matter? I can't find anything other then slot #1-2 are X16 and slots #3-4 are X4.
    Help.

    Hi
    The slot you're looking at is specifically for Apple's RAID Card. In other words if you have the Card it probably won't work in any other slot than the one marked specifically for it. More information here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3514
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1346

    You should be OK using the slot but if it bothers you any other slot will do.

  • FCPX crashes all the time using the Intensity Pro Card for monitor preview wassup?

    I have been using FCPX for a few months and I like it somewhat and could really love it for it not crashing on all my projects. If I scrub the timeline or apply a filter it crashes. I'm using the Blackmagic Intensity Pro card for monitor output and the latest drivers that they put out and can't really get through a project because it crashes all the time.I thought that if i get a different display card it would possible help I have the GForce 120 card which only has 256MB ram.Can anybody put some light on the issue?

    FCP X currently does not support Intensity Pro cards.

    which one is the nvidia one?

    Show us
    cat /proc/asound/cards
    This is what I use for ordering the HDA based cards in my system, index=0 is Maudio Audiophile. So you would need to use index=0,1 and use the correct model and probe mask for the nvidia card. Mine is ATI SB Azalia, and a nvidia GT430 with GF108 chip.
    options snd-hda-intel index=1,2 model=6stack-dig,auto probe_mask=-1,0x108
