DVD SP, Intensity Pro Card, No External Monitor.

I have a Black Magic Intensity Pro card that outputs fine with FCP. The DVDSP documentation says that it supports external monitoring but there is no selection option available in the playback or simulation preferences in the pulldown menu. Has anyone had any success with DVDSP and external monitoring?

DVD SP Preferences/Simulator Tab/Playback Ouput/Video.
There is a drop down menu for the Simulator window.
Your device, if it is to show up, will show up there.

  • 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.

  • Satellite Pro U300: DVD issue - error: cannot output to external monitor

    Hi,
    I was having problems playing a dvd on my U300.
    Basically the software would load but when I tried to play the dvd it said "cannot output to external monitor".
    Having gone through all options I could not find anything to stop this happening. I then downloaded the latest software from the toshiba site.
    dvdpl-20070807102909.zip
    I resintalled this but got the same error message.
    I then uninstalled the software and tried to reinstall but now it just produces an error mesaage saying it cannot intsall the software on this computer.
    How can I reinstall this?
    Regards,
    Mark

    I presume you have received the Toshiba Recovery CD. Am I right?
    On this CD you can find the Toshiba image file. This image contains the Vista OS, Toshiba drivers, tools and additional software.
    But note; you cannot install only a single program. To reinstall a application from the Recovery CD you have to format the HDD and have to reinstall the whole OS using the Recovery CD.
    As Gipsyman said, the Toshiba driver page contains update and the original preinstalled software is needed.

  • Soundtrack Pro with Blackmagic Intensity Pro Card

    Hi
    Just wondering if anyone was using STP with the Blackmagic Intensity Pro card to monitor video on a TV?
    If so, whta are your experiences and especially does STP allow you to continue using your selected audio device (MOTU Ultralite over Firewire for me) while viewing your Quicktimes on the TV.
    Thanks in advance

    Hey Bill
    Thanks for getting back so quick! No, I've checked the audio/midi and the default audio device is my MOTU Ultralite firewire interface - even when the default output is set to the mac's internal speaker, once you select the external video it mutes the output.
    I can still see levels withing STP as if the audio is playing. There is an official Apple Support document about audio not working when you are using external video to firewire and it says that it is a bug that can be bypassed by setting your bus to surround (1-6) instead of stereo (1-2) but this has no effect for me )-:
    Would love to know if it works for you! and if so, what way you have things configured
    Thanks

  • Blackmagic intensity pro card

    Hey there,
    I'm trying to use the blackmagic intensity pro card to capture some audio out a tascam dat deck but can't seem to get the audio to come in. I've resorted to using a y audio cable to go into the macs input. Seems to be working ok but i would like to use the blackmagic for better quality. My capture preset is set to intensity dv capture with the rca input selected. Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Here's my situation at work. I have a MacPro ProTools HD workstation that uses the onboard video card to send my desktop to two LCD monitors (lots of pallets, running multiple apps). In order to view the Quicktime file during client sessions, I want to send it (full screen mode) to the 50" plasma that hangs in the room (ie. a third display). I'm using the Blackmagic Intensity Pro card to do this, but it doesn't seem to have "extended desktop" options, even though the sales guy said it did.
    My only other option (no other cards seem to work in this config) is to ditch the two LCDS for a single Cinema Display and run the plasma as a second display.
    Help!

  • RCA out of jack or Intensity Pro card?

    Hi
    Wondered if it's better to hook up two RCA cables out of the back of my Blackmagic Intensity Pro card break out cable or just straight out of my Mac Pro's headphone jack?
    Going to a pair of ALP5 event speakers and not sure if Intensity Pro would have better quality or not...BlkMagic Tech support didn't know - what say you...all?

    There may be a slight advantage to the BlackMagic's D/A conversion. Slightly heavier cables may be cleaner sounding and more reliable/less fragile than the mini-stereo connector. The main advantage I would see is that your audio can follow your external video to the BlackMagic when you activate it, meaning you don't have to customize your easy setup.

  • Problem with video capture with Blackmagic Intensity Pro card

    I have just installed a blackmagic Intensity Pro card to download analogue VCR tapes to DVD. I have set all the input parameters to the Blackmagic card in both Premiere and the input routine for the card. I am using the breakout cable for NTSC input with the green Y input for the video and the L & R audio inputs. When I try to capture I get snow in the premiere capture window, but it does record the L & R audio. When I stop the tape deck I momentarily get the blue screen with STOP showing and then back to snow. I am hoping it is just a setting somewhere but where????
    The computer is running Vista 32 home premium with 3G ram
    Comments very welcome

    Is there a BlackMagic setting required to tell the driver to see the green as composite rather than component?

  • 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?

  • Why is it that when I plug my Macbook Pro to an external monitor, the external monitor turns black and shows the mouse only

    Why is it that when I plug my Macbook Pro to an external monitor, the external monitor turns black and shows the mouse only

    Hi, yes preferences sees there is a second display it recognises what make of monitor it is etc but I just get a blank blue screen on the monitor when I change it to the hdmi setting! I have tried with mirroring on and off, rearranging the displays in the preference window and lots of different resolution settings but with no difference.
    An old MacBook connects fine so the monitor and hdmi port must be okay. I'm sure we have used the cable before but it could have been with the previous MacBook Air. The current one I'm using is a mid 2011 version running lion and is (according to software update) all up to date.
    Any thoughts or help would be appreciated!

  • Problems connecting my MacBook Pro to an external monitor

    For the past 2 years, I have regularly connected my MacBook Pro to an external monitor (Dell SR2320L) using a VGA cable. When I do so, the picture  automatically comes up in the maximum resolution of the external monitor (1920 x 1080). However, just in the past few weeks, the picture on my external monitor automatically comes up in 1600 x 1200 instead.  When I click on the display menu in the upper right corner of my screen, there isn't even an option for 1920 x 1080 anymore.  I've tried restarting my computer and even unplugging and replugging in the cable, but nothing seems to fix the problem. However, on at least some occasions, the problem seems to fix itself after about a day or so of use, and the picture reverts back to 1920 x 1080. I should note a couple of things: when I connect another MacBook to my monitor, the display automatically comes up in 1920 x 1080. And when I connect my Macbook to a different display, I have the same problem as I have with my display. So I think the issue is definitely with my computer, not my monitor. Does anyone have a suggestion about how to solve this problem? Or, when the problem arises, is there anything I can do to reset the display to 1920 x 1080 other than waiting for the problem to fix itself? Any suggestions woudl be greatly appreciated!

    Hi bonfig,
    If you are having issues with the external display settings on your MacBook Pro, it may be worth going throught the following article, in particular the portion about resetting the SMC and PRAM:

  • MacBook Pro to my external monitor

    How do I hook up my MacBook Pro to my external monitor if I don't have an HDMI connection or a DVI connection port on my laptop?

    Of course! some of the adapters can be purchased at best buy but are usually kind of expensive. I saw an HDMI adapter at Home Depot the other day for $7 which is a good deal.
    Although, im not even sure if youre in the U.S., so this information be irrelevant to you anyway haha.

  • Can I use MacBook pro A1211 with external monitor, screen has died but

    CCan I use MacBook pro A1211 with external monitor, screen has died but computer seems fine

    Hmm seems like this model has DVI out. You could just plug a standard DVI monitor into that. Or use the DVI connector (VGA supported with included adapter; S-video and composite video supported with optional adapters) adapter that came w/ your machine.

    Please help me make a sound decision.
    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.

  • Blackmagic Intensity Pro Card Not Recognized

    I've got a Mac Pro 1,1 running OS 10.7.3 and FCP 10.0.3. FCP X doesn't recognize the card. I have FCP 6.0.6 running under 10.6.8. FCP and the card get along A-OK. Anyone have any troubleshooting guidance?

    HI

  • 128MB vs. 256MB Video Card for External Monitor?

    I may want to run an external monitor for Final Cut Pro HD. Will getting the 2.16 Processor with its 256MB Video Card drive an external monitor any better than the 1.83 w/ 128MB Video Card? TIA
    BTW, I won't be "gaming" at all. Just doing a little FCP HD...

    Randy, I believe you have great technical knowledge
    (much more than me) and your math is unobjectionable.
    But in my opinion 16% of the graphic card's capacity
    just to light up the monitors is not a low figure.
    Actually, for generic 2D stuff that doesn't involve OpenGL, Randy has it correct. You'll find that VRAM makes absolutely no difference to Photoshop, for instance. A couple of big screens will happily run on 64MB VRAM.
    Once you start running pro applications on those
    monitors, and expect real-time responsiveness and
    lower and lower rendering times; you might come to
    realize that 128MB of VRAM is enough, it's a lot...
    but not excessive.
    You only need the extra VRAM for apps that specifically use the graphic card, through OpenGL, Core Image, Core Video or similar. Of course, there are more and more apps which leverage the graphics card this way, so 256MB is going to be more future-proof, and is what I went for.
