No hdmi devices detected on HD TV with blackmagic intensity card

Im on my Macpro - 2x3 GHz Qaud-Core Intel Xeon with 8GB ram OS 10.5.8
I have installed a Blackmagic Intensity PCI card and using the HMDI connection to my Sony Bravia 21 inch HD TV so i can monitor HD footage for FCP 7 . When i=I go to HDMI setup on the TV I get the message "no hdmi devices detected" with blackmagic intensity card.
Anyone have any ideas or come across this before?

Make sure FCP is running and that you have chosen View menu > External Video > All Frames and the appropriate Blackmagic Intensity preset from the View menu > Video Playback presets.

  • Hi! After Effects CC 2014 do not work with Blackmagic Intensity Pro.

    After Effects CC, Premiere Pro CC 2014, Photoshop CC 2014 work correct with Blackmagic Intensity Pro.

    Uninstall the Blackmagic drivers and install the latest version.
    If that doesn't help, make sure you are using a comp size that matches a frame format supported by the Blackmagic card.
    Rather than repeat myself, here are other threads where I've replied about similar issues. Please read through them.

  • FCP capture problem with Blackmagic Intensity Pro

    I just installed a Blackmagic Intensity Pro and I am having problems capturing in Final Cut Pro 6. I have a Sony VCR/DVD player with a HMDI out connection that works fine when connected to my TV. The video setting on the VCR/DVD are 720P. In FCP I have chosen the “Blackmagic HDTV Intensity Pro 720P 60 Uncompressed” capture/input setting. If I unplug the HDMI cable from the VCR/DVD and plug it back in I see the video for about 4 seconds and then just a gray screen. I have tried several video tapes all with the same results.
    Any suggestions?
    Dennis

    I am having the same problem. I edit reels and was trying to use the higher quality HDMI input to capture video from my DVD player for client's video reels.
    I could be mistake, but I do 'recall' hearing that you cannot record HDMI video (copyright issues) but only play back HDMI. We may be stuck using component.
    Intensity Pro's website only mentions recording HDMI video from a camcorder with an HDMI output.
    Maybe someone will clear this up for us with a definite answer. I have put a request in to Blackmagic support and will let you know what they say.

  • 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

  • Is Premiere Elements 11 compatible with Blackmagic Intensity Shuttle USB 3.0 ?

    I have an Intensity Shuttle from Blackmagic to Capture  Video and  Audio through USB 3.0
    Is this divice compatible with Premiere Elements 11 ?
    Thank you for your help

    Looking at the Blackmagic Intensity Web site for host program interaction, I only see PrPro, and not PrE. Sometimes, that does not mean that PrE cannot use a device, but often it does. http://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/intensity/software/
    I would contact Blackmagic and inquire.
    I see that the card/device includes Blackmagic's Media Express, so it might be a simple workaround - Capture in Media Express, then Import that/those file(s) into PrE.
    Please report BM's response.
    Good luck,

  • Problems with Audio with BlackMagic Intensity Shuttle

    I recently bought the BlackMagic Intensity Shuttle hoping it would work with FME so I could stream games from my Xbox/PS3.
    Everything is great with the video but the audio is the main problem. I'm having sync issues with the audio when I use the audio from the BMI Shuttle. The audio source is Decklink Audio Capture and no matter what settings I try on both the audio and video, it seems to stay out of sync.
    I capture 720p @ 59.94 fps. I've pretty much tried everything, even downgraded the drivers to each and every driver since the shuttle came out. I haven't tried downgrading FME, but I don't think that will solve anything either. Right now I have the latest FME (3.2) and I still had audio sync issues with 3.1.
    When I try to use an external program to capture video (such as VHMULTICAM), then I cannot produce the audio from FME because VHMulticam is using the video and so the Decklink Audio Capture won't respond in FME then. I don't know of a program that can capture both audio and video at the same time either.
    Just wondering to see if anyone has any suggestions or recommendations to settings or anything else. Any help is very much appreciated. Thanks!

    Well, how can I use my line in with an Xbox or PS3... or even a satellite receiver/cable box? I've also tried using analog RCA cables for audio while using HDMI for video on the shuttle but it seems as though it's the same thing. What I'm trying to ask is how can I connect it from the xbox/ps3/receiver to the pc's sound card line in?
    The audio is delayed. So, I see what happens and then hear the sound later.
    Thanks for your response btw, really appreciate it.

  • Premiere Pro with Blackmagic Intensity Pro; Importer

    I'm using a Blackmagic Intensity Pro with Premiere Pro. I don't Import anything with it directly, i just use it to preview my timeline on a seperate monitor.
    The issue I have is when I try to import a AVI-file to my project
    before I had the Intensity Pro, Premiere would input the file as a Microsoft AVI and it worked perfectly.
    But now the exact same file is imported as a Blackmagic AVI-file. now I am experiencing green bars in my video and the color information is totally screwed up.
    So my question is: can I deactivate or change the Import-settings of Premiere, without to remove the Card completely (turn PC off, remove card, turn back on...)?

    Ok, my workflow is:
    I'm importing a video file from my hard drive via double-click or drag'n'drop. i don't capture from a video source with the intensity pro!
    the specs of the video file according to premiere are:
    Type: Blackmagic AVI File
    File Size: 1,7 GB
    Image Size: 1024 x 768
    Frame Rate: 18,00

    I've tried importing the video file at a friend's pc with premiere pro 5.5 and there the file works just fine. so I'm assuming that it has to do with the intensity pro...
    It has the same properties execpt under Type there is "Microsoft AVI File" and everything beneath Pixel Aspect Ratio isn't there.
    Thanks

  • Lag with Blackmagic Intensity Pro

    I just got Adobe Prod. Premium CS6 as well as a Blackmagic Intensity Pro monitoring card and an eVGA GTX570 graphics card, and to avoid problems, I did a new Windows installation from scratch on a formatted drive. This was done today, so all the drivers and program updates are completely up to date.
    I know the Intensity Pro is about the cheapest card you can get to preview video correctly on a TV set, since graphics cards don't display video in the same way as a dedicated editing card does, so I'm still happy with it, but I would like to find it if I can get around this annoyance until I can get a better card, or if perhaps it's a flaw in Premiere and a more expensive card would not make a difference.
    The card has about 200 miliseconds of lag compared to the program monitor in the Premiere window. This is not really terrible, but it becomes distracting when watching the TV screen and the change of frame in a cut happens first in the computer monitor in a small window within Premiere, and a fraction of a second later on the TV screen. Also, it makes it difficult when I have to sync cuts to changes in the music. I guess in that type of situation it would be better to do the cuts on the computer monitor and then switch to the TV set for color correction.
    But this is not just in regular playback. It gets worse when scrubbing the timeline, or moving with JKL. In those cases, sometimes it takes it like a second to catch up to what I see on the program monitor.
    I also have a GrassValley HD Spark monitoring card for Edius that while it has a little lag, it's much shorter than this and it's not so distracting. That card was connected using the same cable to the same TV set, so that tells me the Intensity Pro has some extra lag, but it's hard to complain about it on a $190 card. However, I was wondering if anyone here has found themselves in the same problem and found a solution? I searched but so far I couldn't find anything.
    And as far as these type of cards, what is the least expensive one that will give me perfect preview with no lag?

    Thanks, I might try that one, although it's a bit over my budget at $660.25, but I'll have to if I don't have a choice.
    What about the Matrox MXO2 Mini, has anybody tried it?
    About turning off MPE GPU's acceleration, that is not an option for me. I'm used to edit in Edius, where almost everything you do is real time and you barely have to render anything ever for previewing purposes, and Edius doesn't even require an expensive Nvidia card for that, it only uses the CPU. But, it lacks several features Premiere CS6 has, especially when it comes to artistic effects. Overall I'm really hooked up on Premiere CS6, but only if I can have the same fluidness of work I always had with Edius, so I wouldn't turning off MPE. That's why I spent $280 in a new graphics card.
    I really hope that this is just a matter of the BM Intensity being a cheap card and not Premiere, because this past couple of days I've been editing almost all day and while I enjoyed the editing process in Premiere, it's very frustrating to start playback and sometimes it will be fine but other times the audio and video will be out of sync, so I have to position the playhead back and start playing again. When that happens half the times you play something, it's really annoying. This is regardless of real time areas or not. To make sure of this, I forced render of an area that had no effects on it and it still has the sync problem. I had to disable auto playback after rendering because that would cause the problem every time, while if I position the playhead manually and then hit play, sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't.

  • 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????

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

  • Dream Machine for CS6 with Blackmagic Intensity Pro

    Good Day.
    Im about to move from CS5.5 to CS6, and along with the upgrade of software, I've decided that a hardware upgrade is due too.
    I'm looking to put together an entirely new PC as my old one (i3 with 4gb ram) will be inherited by the animator.
    We shoot the majority of our footage on Canon DSLR's and my old machine really struggled with realtime playback and editing of the footage (was continuously rendering at less-than-optimum sequence settings for the chance to see something playing back in realtime)
    I'd like to know what the specs would be of a machine that would be capable of working with this footage (usually graded with Colorista). And not just the bare essentials, something that would be able to handle this with ease, as often our edits include multiple layers as well as image sequences.
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Warm Regards,
    Gareth H. Graham

  • Which cpu with blackmagic intensity pro for SD stream ( 1 Mbs)

    Hello,
    when encoding with DV my quad core Q6700 tops to 15 % CPU usage for h264 SD live streaming (< 1 Mbs).
    How would encoding from an HD or SD-SDI card go (such as BM Intensity Pro)? is the cpu fast enough or should I turn to core i 7?
    thanks.

    This is the Final Cut Studio forum. Post this in the FCP X forum where it might be of relevance.

  • Numbered Stills won't preview with Blackmagic Intensity Pro in CS5

    I am an animator and I import numbered stills (jpeg) into Premiere. In CS3 I would drag the sequence on to the timeline and then hit "enter" and the animation would render a preview. In CS5 the preview won't render. Instead of a red bar or green bar, there is just a gray bar and the animation plays back very choppy.
    I am pretty sure this is because I am using Blackmagic Intensity Pro, but would love to know if there is a solution. The previews render when I choose a "DV" preset instead of "Blackmagic", but of course they don't show on my tv monitor then.
    Has anyone come across this problem?
    Thanks

    There have been quite some posts here about the BM Intensity, but denying it is not uncommon in this business. Look at Dell that refuses to admit that about 12 million of their systems are suffering from faulty, leaking capacitors and die quite often. Around 97% of their Optiplex range is expected to die within three years, due to the Nichicon capacitors used .

  • Will FME work with BlackMagic Decklink card?

    Has anyone used this combination of components together? I want to capture SDI and might have access to a Decklink card, and I only use FME 3.2 so want to be sure they'll work together before I spend the money. Thanks-

    I'm using BlackMagic DeckLink Duo and it works fine.

    aplay -D plughw:1,7 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav
    The list of audio devices that VLC "sees" as selectable for audio output mirrors the PCM devices I see with aplay -L.  The three HDMI audio devices in aplay -L each list as their devices 0, 1, and 2 for HDMI0, HDMI1, and HDMI2 respectively.  Conceptually, it seems to me like my HDMI PCM devices are messed up.  Shouldn't HDMI1, at least, be paired with Device 7, since the command directly above works with device 7?  If I understand things correctly, my asoundrc currently overrides cards , however, when I try to get it to override pcm devices, with the following, no hdmi devices are visible in VLC:
    pcm.!hdmi {
    type plughw
    card HDMI
    device 7
    There must be something I am not understanding - would appreciate any help or insights.

    Okay nevermind...sort of.  It occurred to me to try the same alsa wav test file in VLC through HDMI.  It plays clearly with HDMI1 device.  So, my understanding of ALSA PCM devices is still totally messed up, but I have discovered my problem is a different one:
    VLC plays mp3/mp4/mkv files garbled through HDMI, but clearly through PC Speakers.
    Now I will try and solve this new problem myself.  Marking SOLVED since original issue was non-issue...can I delete thread so as not to waste everyone's time?

  • Connect multiple devices to one Thunderbolt port with docking station

    Hello everybody,
    for a video editing setup I would like to use all devices connected until now directly to my iMac just with a Thunderbolt docking station on only one Thunderbolt port. What I do not understand is, whether bitrate will stay the same for each device or will be splitted? Has this to do with daisy chaining Thunderbolt devices?
    So this will be the setup:
    1 Thunderbolt cable from iMac to Thunderbolt docking station
    devices connected to docking station:
    one Blackmagic Intensity Shuttle Thunderbolt
    one external USB 2.0 hard drive
    one external USB 3.0 hard drive
    external HDMI monitor
    Ethernet connection
    So the general question is, will all of these devices get only part of the bitrate that Thunderbolt provides or can each device, theoretically, get full Thunderbolt bitrate?
    And are there different types of Thunderbolt cables (Thunderbolt 1 or 2) that I have to pay attention to?
    Regards DonTimo

    Also, if you use the Apple 27" Thunderbolt Display, it will have an additional Thunderbolt and Firewire ports on its back.
