Black Magic Capture Card

Hi Everyone,
I'm about to order a Black Magic card because I can't seem to output DV or HDV to my Sony GV-HD700 deck. Am I correct in believing this will solve my issue, and are Black Magic users happy with the card?
Thanks

I'm happy with my BMD HD Extreme card. But I'm not sure that will fix your output problem. I noticed on Sony's website that the specification section for your model does not list Leopard as compatible. It only goes as high as OS X 10.1. My guess is that might be the problem. Also, double check the output settings in Final Cut to make sure you're setup for DV.

  • Adobe not allowing import of XML file captured from Media Express through Black Magic capture card

    I have been going crazy trying to find a way to import the XML files to fix the digitized look Adobe capture gave my footage. Someone help me
    These are not XML from Final Cut. They are files saved from Media Express, a Black magic design program used for Capturing.
    THANK YOU.
    Please email me if you know how to fix this

    THANKS AGAIN!

    Wouldn't it be more appropriate to open the actual media files captured with the program?

  • How do I get Premiere Pro to reconize my Black Magic video card?

    I have a Blackmagic Decklink Extreme HD Card.

Looks like a installation bug by Blackmagic. If it helps please mark as useful. thanks.

  • That old Black Magic that you weave so well ... the best?

    We have a bunch of Mac Pros (2 x 2 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon, 2 GB RAM)at the school where I teach. We want to try HiDef. Is the Black Magic Intensity card the best for HDMI in and out? If we had that card and an HD TV with HDMI, would that be all we need?

    That is the ONLY option for HDMI...well, the cheapest. The Decklink Multibridge has HDMI too, but that is more expensive. And you can use the Intensity to capture from the HDMI port of the cameras too...if you want to shoot on a set and avoid the HDV compression that is laid onto tape.

  • Black Magic Decklink Studio 2 and CS6

    Hi, all.  I've been doing this for years and am always amazed at how complicated it is capturing video and audio with Premier.  Now, with CS6 and Black Magic Design's Decklink Studio2, it's no different.  The Black Magic capture utility works fine, but Premier won't recognize the card and it's drivers.  I can't build a capture list, but use the BMD utility to capture video for editing. 
    Experience says reload drivers.  I  did that.  Also loaded latest BMD drivers.  Still no capture in Premier.  One giant challenge is our company's IT department retains admin rights to this Windows7 64 bit Dell Precision 7730.  I have to open a trouble ticket to change or load anything! 
    Anyway, any thoughts on this would be much appreciated.

    Mr. Bowen.  Thanks for the quick response.  Settings in Premier are limited.  The BM board has its own control panel.  But here is the setup:
    NTSC, 29:97, RS422 machine control, use capture time code.
    Premier takes in our HD P2 material just fine.  Also just about every flavor of AVCHD.  Trouble is we use a ton of vintage footage originating from RS422 machines: everything from s-vhs, ¾” and BetaCamSP.  Bottom line is it crashes EVERY time we try to use the capture function.  There’s machine control, but no capture window showing.  Obvious driver conflicts of some kind.   ☹

  • Black magic card a/v settings for capture??????????????????????

    So I have a black magic intensity pro card. I am trying to use it with my JVC HDV 720p 60fps camcorder. I know I need to lower the setting to have it actually work without a ton of raid cards and so I have the "A/V Settings" set to:
    Sequence preset: Black magic HDTV 720p 60 - Jpeg
    Capture preset: Black magic HDTV 720p 60 - Jpeg
    Device Control preset: Non-controlable device
    Which is what everything I have read has said to do, but it refuses to work I get an error saying there is no video coming through the audio meeter does not even bounce in preview. It is not the cables I have tested both. What else could it be?

    I also have the intensity settings in the mac system preferences set to y, r-y, b-y video & analog RCA Audio.
    I am still stumped!

  • What is the BEST cable connection from Canopus ADVC 300 to Black Magic Intensity Pro HDMI PCI Express Capture Card?

    I must connect an ADVC 300 to a Black Magic Intensity Pro HDMI PCI Express Capture Card.   For best quality, which cable should I use?
    On the ADVC 300 there are outputs of firewire, S-VHS and RCA.
    On BMPro it's a little confusing. On the breakout cable there are connectors that say:
    -5 B-Y OUT
    -4 Y OUT
    -3-R-Y OUT
    -7-R-Y IN
    -8-Y IN
    -9 B-Y IN
    -15 AUDIO IN RIGHT
    -10 AES/EBU OUT
    -12 AUDIO LEFT OUT
    -14 AUDIO LEFT OUT
    -13 AUDIO RIGHT OUT
    With the BMPro, there is also a separate, shorter cable.  On one end it looks like S-VHS and on the other there are two connectors, one black and one blue.
    On the actual BMPro Express card strip instead of using the breakout cable, there is HDMI IN (and HDMI OUT). 
    How should I connect this?  Is there an adapter cable of FIREWIRE TO HDMI? 
    Any help is much appreciated. 

    Well, when I researched how best to digitize VHS (into Final Cut Pro 7), I learned two of the best devices to use are BMPro and Canopus ADVC 300.  I’m using the ADVC 300 for the built-in time base corrector.  I definitely want to use that to stabilize the video.  I also read how well BMPro improves image quality.  So, I thought to use the two together must produce outstanding quality (well, as good as VHS can be). 
    Perhaps I got confused into thinking I can use both.  But the BMPro appears to have an S-VHS adapter. 
    I guess I’m wondering what is better quality: 
    Run the firewire from the Canopus ADVC 300 converter directly into the firewire port on the Mac Pro
    Or, run an S-VHS cable from the Canopus ADVC 300 into the BMPro Capture card
    (I should mention that I have purchased all these items and already have the BMPro Card installed so at this point it’s not a cost issue, but rather an issue of simply which works best?)

    In my opinion, if the driver of your new BlackMagic card are compatible
    with your operative system, and installed correctly, FMLE uses it as any
    other peripheral, so it should work.
    Maybe you can ask to their support to be sure...

  • Black Magic card

    Forum,
    I see many references to Black Magic card.
    What is it?
    What does it do?
    Michael Craven.

    They, like the AJA cards, capture video that is not capturable via firewire. Also, they can output proper signals to monitors for proper color grading.

  • Black Magic Intensity Pro Card & Final Cut Studio

    I'm in the process of purchasing a Mac Pro to use for my New Wedding Video Business. I have purchsed the New Sony HVR-HD1000. I'm looking to get everything at one time and something has me very confused. I hope that someone can please help me.
    As I understand it. I take my New Sony HD Cam via Firewire800 and Final Cut Studio will just suck it all in.
    If thats the case, What is the need for products such as the "Black Magic Intensity Pro Card"?
    Do I need it when my Mac Pro/Final Cut will import my footage anyways?
    Please help me make a sound decision.
    Thank you for your time.

    No disrespect taken. I might not be very technical but some times I wonder if I'm doing the right thing.
    Maybe some history will help explain my situation.
    I have a old cheap-o hand held Sony SD Mini DV Cam that I used all year to puts around with. As a test of my skills went to weddings and events for fun. All of these events had "Professional Videographers" I was just here for fun with my little camera.
    For fun I would turn in my little DVD and the response was incredible. Even though my footage sucked compared to all the "Pro Cameras" being used it was my skills in editing, having fun with the video, and using lots of Motion graphics and titles. I became so popular that people wanted me to actually film events as a paid rig!
    With no training what so ever and just tinkering with Final Cut Studio - I have a long list of "word of mouth" gigs with people waiting for me to film for them.
    My parents then decided to give me a few gifts. (1) Sony HVR-HD 1000 and (2) JVY GY100HD Cameras. I now have all the gear I need. I never owned cameras like this before so as I started looking into getting a Mac Pro - All these questions came to mind.
    My point is - I used a POS camera and consumers ate it all up. I didnt worry about "Color Space" or ProRess anything. I just imported as DV - edit the footage - have fun with it - burn it on DVD and call it a day.
    I'm just seriously asking - now that I have nice cameras that didnt cost me a dime - cant I just continue the same way I have been with my POS camera?
    Is anything more than just Firewire800 to my Mac really that critical for Weddings on SD DVD's?

    Thank you for your time.

    A few things to remember:
    The best resolution you will get with your HD camcorder is to record LIVE from the camera to the Intensity card connected via HDMI. No compression (HD to HDV) will occur in the camera before the computer sees it. You can either record uncompressed (best) or have FCP/Premier record with a codec (422, etc.). 422HQ is supposed to be "visually" the same as uncompressed HD but requires significantly less space. Recording HD uncompressed REQUIRES Raid disk setups. Depending on your setup, you may require Raid with with 422. The down side for this highest resolution mode is you MUST have your computer hooked up to the camcorder via HDMI to the Intensity card while recording! Not typically feasible when doing live events and being mobile with your camcorder.
    The second best MAY be playing back the recorded video (HDV compressed onto the tape) via the HDMI (not firewire) to the Intensity. Here it depends on the quality of the codec INSIDE the camcorder vs. the software codec in the computer. The advantage with an Intensity card here is that you can record onto the computer using a more "editable" format (see below).
    The third best (may be just as good as the second above) is to transport the recorded video (HD compressed) via firewire from the camcorder directly to the mac. The only difference from two above is how good the software codec on the mac is compared to the camera. Opinions vary here.
    Editing the DV/HDV directly is often near impossible - meaning it must be recorded (converted) on the hard disk in a more editable format. Long GOP issues arise often/sometimes with DV/HDV (MPEG 2).
    Method 2 and 3 allow for portability. Method 1 is NOT portable/mobile.

  • Soundtrack Pro (randomly?) disables my Black-Magic card I use as Sound Card

    I uprgraded to 5.1 FCP and now my woes begin. Before Sountrack worked seamelessly. But now, sometimes it will play back (be audible) through the video card I use as my sound card also - a Black-Magic Decklink, and sometimes it won't. It does play though the internal speaker.
    But on a few occasions, with no apparent intervention on my part, the sound does come via the sound card.
    I have gone to my general preference, I have gone to Sountrack Preferences. I have tried the manual, but the manual search, you know, doesn't ever list any searches that bear at the moment at hand.
    Also, Soundtrack Pro disables the card. for instance, to hear iTunes through the card, I had to quit Soundtrack Pro. Of course Apple wants to charge me for "help" with this. For myself, no idea, very stymied.

    I also have the intensity settings in the mac system preferences set to y, r-y, b-y video & analog RCA Audio.
    I am still stumped!

  • Capture card for laptop

    I'm wondering what capture cards people have gotten to work with either Mac or PC laptops and Flash media encoder. SDI + HDMI + Analog in woul be nice but any two would work.
    Thanks
    Philip

    Black Magic Design (www.blackmagic-design.com) make a USB3 capture card that will capture SD and HDMI inputs.  The other option I know of is the epiphan range of DVI framegrabbers - they have a DVI2USB option.  Howver I have heard reports that the epiphans don't necessarily capture great quality but have been unable to test this myself.  The epiphan devices cost about 4x the black magic devices.
    If you have a very recent Mac model that has the new thunderbolt interface then Black Magic also have a thunderbolt version of the Intensity capture device.  If I had money for a new laptop and a new cap device, I would be getting a MacBook Pro and thunderbolt intensity card.

    No problem. Be warned, though. As far as I know, M series camcorders are only available on secondhand markets right now, and if you happen to find, say, a Vixia HF M500 new and unopened, the after-market price might be a little higher.
