Using Intensity Shuttle Thunderbolt with Connect

I'm trying to use a Blackmagic's Desktop Video 10.3.7 (with an Intensity Shuttle Thunderbolt) with Connect and need some help. The video works quite nicely but Blackmagic tells me that their audio will not interface with Connect. Does anyone have experience using an Intensity Shuttle and/or Blackmagic Desktop Video 10.3.7? Has anyone discovered a work around to get Connect to see this audio?
If not, can anyone recommend an external capture device that will accept an SD composite NTSC video and RCA audio signals and get them into Connect?
Thanks in advance.

James, you have a fairly unique usecase, and most users of Connect don't have access to Blackmagic products. So long as the computer will recognize the input, Connect should accept it. When you use the Audio set up wizard, does it show the device as an option for audio input devices?
Have you tried something like these? Amazon.com: RCA to USB or Amazon.com: RCA to HDMI? They may require using DVdriver on a Windows computer, but that is pretty cheap too.

  • Blackmagic Intensity Shuttle Thunderbolt

    Hello
    Does anybody have experience with the Blackmagic Intensity Shuttle Thunderbolt working with Final Cut Pro X
    as opposed to older versions of FCP.
    I wish to capture live/direct video from a HD HDMI panasonic camera using FCPX.
    Will the Blackmagic Intensity Shuttle Thunderbolt do the job?
    I have a MacBook Pro retina display 2012 (software is all up to date).
    All feedback welcome
    Thank you and happy new year
    kreid4.

    Had a look at the thread to get on the pace.
    Just tested mine and it works.
    About the gear used in this test:
    Macbook Pro 17" late 2011, OS 10.8.2 using the Thunderbolt port.
    Black Magic Intensity Extreme using BM Media Express V3.2.
    Apple Thunderbolt cable.
    Panasonic HDC-SDT750 set to 1920 x 1080i50.
    HDMI cable mini to standard cable.
    I've noticed that all connections should be made before opening the BM capture app or it's not recognized by BM Media Express. This applies the BM box rather than the camera.
    Open the BM app and confirm from the Cascade Menu under DEVICE that there is a check mark against the model you use. Mine is Intensity Extreme with the tick indicating the device and the BM software are communicating.
    Now setup your Media Express>Preferences to suit the camera and capture codec etc.
    Note: If you don't see a bunch of options in the Project & Capture format fields to match your computers stuff then something is amiss.
    Also you can check the MAC>System Profiler>Thunderbolt to ensure the computer is seeing the BM device.
    Connect the camera and HDMI cable at this point if it's not already and switch on.
    I'd suggest making all connections before starting.
    Log and Capture in the BM software window should display whatever the camera sees.
    You can either live capture or capture pre-recoreded clips as desired.
    Hope this steers you in the right direction.

  • Final cut 10.1 will not output or input thru Blackmagic intensity shuttle thunderbolt on 2013 Retina MBP while Premere Cs6 does

    Final Cut 10.1 will not output or input thru Blackmagic intensity shuttle thunderbolt on 2013 Retina MBP while Premere Cs6 does

    As I mentioned, Premere Cs6 has no issues with the BM Intensity Shuttle Thunderbolt. This proves that the Mac sees the shuttle. iMovie, like FCPX 10.1 does not see it. Not sure if this is an Apple issue or a BlackMagic issue. I plan to contact BlackMagic on Monday out of curiosity. This issue is more of a surprise than a dead end. Happily there are easy workarounds for capture. I use the BlackMagic software to capture. My main issue seems to be that I am unable to use FCPX to output through the Shuttle. Fortunately I have a Mac Pro and an older BlackMagic card which has worked. It is so very nice to skim video on an SSD.  No lag and no wear and tear on a mechanical hard drive. The 1Tb Apple SSD is shockingly fast. It is a new world.

  • Blackmagic Intensity Shuttle Thunderbolt video output issues

    I got Intensity Shuttle TB to output to my monitors via hdmi and component however I am getting latency issues. I've tried all the settings in the system preferences as well as inside Premiere Pro. Also, when viewing a clip in the source window, video output disappears. I've tried the latest drivers as well as the older ones and reinstalled Premiere. Would like to resolve this asap! I tested the Intensity Shuttle with Final Cut Pro 7 and it's as smooth as butter and I'm able to view video output while in the source and programs windows. Is this an Intensity Shuttle issue or an Adobe Premiere issue?--->No video output to monitors while in the source window...Latency issues while viewing video in the timeline/program window. AVCHD Footage....
    Macbook Pro 2012 8GB RAM MacOS 10.8.3 Premiere CS6 6.0.2 BlackMagic Intensity Shuttle Thunderbolt 9.7.2 DesktopVideo Driver

    OK, got one part solved. I uninstalled Blackmagic's Desktop Video 9.7.2 and reverted back to Desktop Video Driver 9.6.9. Everything is smooth now...no latency/dropped framed looking video.
    The only other thing I'm trying to resolve now is video output while viewing a clip in the source monitor.  When I double click a clip in the timeline to view in the Source monitor I'm able to view video output to my hdmi and component monitors.  However, when I double click a clip in the Project window to view in the Source monitor, both hdmi/component monitors go out of sync with no video output.
    ie: clip from timeline viewed in Source monitor: I'm able to see video output
          clip from Project Window viewed in Source monitor: No video output
    Update: When I double click on a 720x405 .jpg from the Project window to view in the source window, i'm able to view video output to both monitors(hdmi/component). On a 960x720 .jpg, no video output from the source window. 
    Pretty strange and I hope this info is making sense to Adobe Support.  Would appreciate feedback on resolving this issue! I'm hoping this is a simple Adobe Premiere setting that I might've missed. 
    NOTE: Desktop Video Driver 9.6.8 also has smooth playback but I installed 9.6.9 since it is the last update of version 9.6.

  • Blackmagic Intensity Shuttle to Adobe Connect

    Can I connect Blackmagic Intensity Shuttle to Adobe Connect? If not Blackmagic which product do you suggest? Kind regards.

    The Video pod will display video in 320 X 240 or 640 X480 (or the equivalent of 240p and 480p in 16:9 if you modify the pod to display video in that aspect ratio). Chances are that you may be importing video at a different resolution and/or aspect ratio than what Connect wants, so it is resizing it.

  • Problem with Intensity Shuttle Thunderbolt

    Hi,
    We are facing a strange issue : capture seems to be perfectly  working, using the 720p 50 10 bits profile in Adobe Flash Media Live  Encoder but after a short time of streaming (several seconds) we get  this error message : "Unexpected error encountered in encoding process"  and streaming stops (when it perfectly works using the FaceTime camera).
    Is this a known issue ?
    What can we do to correct this ?
    Thanx for your help, Laurent.

    Hi there,
    We were experiencing the same issue as this when using the Intensity Shuttle with Thunderbolt.
    The way I solved it was to increase the frame-rate.  I found when the framerate was 15FPS or lower it happened a lot more often, when increased to 30+ it happened much more rarely.
    Perhaps try this.  Let me know if it helps

  • Use 2 App modules with connection to 2 databases on 1 UIX page?

    Is it possible use 2 different Application modules with connection to different databases on one UIX page?
    Thank you.

    Yes.
    Use a <bc4j:registryDef> with two <bc4j:rootAppModule>'s inside. Everything else is the same as the single root application module case.
    More documentation is available in the UIX Developer's Guide available in the JDeveloper help system and online at:

  • Can I use an external Thunderbolt Display connected drive as my "content" drive?

    I'm looking into updating my computer, and am considering a Retina MBP and a Thunderbolt display.  What I want to know, is given that the rMBP is currently so limited in it's SSD capacity (at the low end), could I have all my music/photo/movie libraries stored on a big Thunderbolt drive that is plugged into the Thunderbolt Display?  I realize that I'm only going to have access to these libraries while plugged in to the display, but I've got iTune Match running, so as far as music is concerned it's not an issue.  I'm wondering if there are other ways that I can do the same thing with wireless network drives, Time Capsule, etc.?  I'm not familiar with using external drives to do this.  Until now, I've always preferred to have everything on one machine and back up to a Time Capsule.  I'm looking for what people think is the best solution.  Thanks. 

    I don't have a Thunderbolt RAID set-up yet but, yes, you could do what you're asking. I already store all my photos and most of my iTunes library on FireWire 800 drives. A Thunderbolt RAID would be just perfect (I have my eye on a few but just haven't made up my mind on whether to wait a year or so when the price goes down and continue to use my FW drives).
    I'm not crazy about Retina display models right now. The GPU just doesn't seem to be able to handle all that's thrown at it, there are no third-party apps that I use that are Retina-ready, and, especially when you add the 768GB flash storage and 16GB of RAM, it's just too expensive. If you do get the RMBP, I suspect that you'll be using the ATD more than the 15" display - a friend of mine who plunked down the $4K+ for the full-featured RMBP calls it a 'piece of crap' and is looking for a buyer.
    I have 3 FW800 drives that I use - a 1TB, a 2TB and an old 500GB that came out of my MBP. I'll soon be getting a 4TB RAID that's also FW800 (at less than half the price of a similar Thunderbolt model). But if you can afford the Thunderbolt external drives, go for it!
    I also use my 2TB for my Time Machine backups. I will have two TM backups once I get my new 4TB.
    Call back with any questions...

  • Using the Blackmagic Intensity Pro Shuttle (Thunderbolt)

    Can I use my Blackmagic Intensity Pro Shuttle (Thunderbolt) with anything other than a thunderbolt port?  I have a Macbook Pro that has the thunderbolt port (which is why I purchased the thunderbolt shuttle) but I would also like trying to use it with my older iMac that does not have a thunderbolt port.  Will using some sort of thunderbolt to firewire/usb 3.0 converter work in this case?
    Thank you in advance!

    No and the only other model they make is for USB 3. If your other Mac doesn't have TB it doesn't have USB 3.

  • HT5219 Can I use 2 displays when I connect a 1920x1080 display through Thunderbolt to the 27 cinema display when it´s connected to the all new 13" Mac Book Air with thunderbolt?

    Can I use 2 displays when I connect a 1920x1080 display through Thunderbolt to the 27 cinema display when it´s connected to the all new 13" Mac Book Air with thunderbolt?

    Thank you, I have read that I could daisy chain the HD RAID enclosure on one of the thunderbolt ports with another monitor, if the monitor were at the end of the chain, but I do not know if the other port would still simultaneously support yet another external display at the same time.

  • Blackmagic Intensity Shuttle Mac Thunderbolt

    I am trying to use the Blackmagic Intensity Shuttle with Thunderbolt connection to Mac Mini.  I get no video in Flash Media Live Encoder.  I'm using Canon  VIXIA HF R400 Camcorder. 
    Can anybody tell me how to set this up?

    Well, perhaps a Blackmagic user will come along to help. I don't quite understand why you would reduce the quality of MiniDV through the RCA connections instead of capturing using Firewire (i.LINK). Unless you don't have a firewire port on your computer. But maybe you have access to a desktop that you could use temporarily and just capture to the external drive?

  • 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.

  • New 13" Macbook Pro trying to connect to a Panasonic VIERA TC-L42U30 as second monitor. I've used multiple hdmi-thunderbolt/mini displayport adapters and multiple hdmi cables and still no success. The Macbook does not sense the second monitor (TV). Help?!

    I've been a Mac since 2008, so I know my way around the system pretty well. This issue, however, has me stumped. I had an iMac until now and only now am I experiencing some difficulty with my new MacBook Pro. The model I have is the newest 13" Macbook Pro model and I'm trying to connect a Panasonic VIERA TC-L42U30 42" HDTV as a second monitor via the Thunderbolt port.
    It worked the first two times and hasn't worked since, after 10-15 attempts with different configurations, turning things on n off, restarting the mac, unplugging the cables, adapters, TV, resetting the P RAM, etc... I've used multiple hdmi-thunderbolt/mini displayport adapters and multiple hdmi cables and still no success. No matter what I do, the Macbook does not sense the TV as a second monitor anymore.
    I took the MacBook Pro to the Apple Store, and their "genius" there had it working fine with a DVI connection to a regular monitor. The Panasonic TV I have has HDMI connections and one VGA connection which does not support HD, but no DVI option. I want an HD connection to mirror or extend my MacBook Pro screen. At the Apple Store, they didn't have a Thunderbolt/Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter, so he could not try that out for me.
    Anyone else have this configuration or another similar one with a Panasonic HDTV?
    Ideas? Suggestions? Anything?! Help!!
    P.S. I'm running Mountain Lion, if that wasn't already obvious. Everything is up to date in my App Store as well.
    Thanks!

    Hi There,
    I have had the exact same issue but with a projector.
    The issue lies with Mountian Lion 10.8.2.
    I tried many a combination with no luck to get HDMI working.
    Took my mac into the apple store and came to the conclusion it was the software, so I asked them to install 10.8 onto it (this is destructive so a backup is a must)
    Bought my macbook home and voila, now displaying through my projector.
    There is a small graphics update after 10.8.1 which seems to be the cause.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks.

  • HT5299 I have a Gdrive mini and 2 LaCie hard drives that connect fine using USB. Thunderbolt to fire wire 800 adaptor will not connect to either my MAC air or LaCie drives. Help

    Have you tried any of these soundcards designed for 2.0?
    The 3.0 port is categorically designed to be comoatible with all 2.0 devices. The port itself will adapt to the usage parameters of the device.
    But if you really want to downgrade, then simply plug any 2.0 hub into a MBA 3.0 port. The ports on the hub will be 2.0.
