CC monitoring

	Re: CC monitoring by Bob Currier on Sep 8, 2009 at 6:31:03 pm The only options currently available under Windows are: - Blackmagic DeckLink cards - AJA Xena when used with Cineform software - NVidia (PNY) Quadro 5400 with SDI option (we have not tested any variations on this) Bob Currier Synthetic Aperture Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index

	Re: CC monitoring by Bob Currier on Sep 8, 2009 at 7:19:22 pm I'd recommend a DeckLink card, unless you want to use of the Cineform software for its features. The Quadro is too expensive for anything other than special applications. Support for more cards is definitely on our list, but it's a bit early to say exactly what cards will be supported. We tend to focus on the dedicated video cards (Blackmagic or AJA) rather than standard video cards that happen to have video output. The standard video cards tend to have very short life spans with no standard interface for us to write to. Bob Currier Synthetic Aperture Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index

	Re: CC monitoring by Bob Currier on Sep 8, 2009 at 8:23:44 pm We have reports of there being problems with the Intensity Pro and other reports from users who have no problems at all with it. It works fine in our test system. We're currently trying to gather information on software versions to try to figure out why there is a difference. At this point, I would have to say try it and see, and report the results to us so we can get to the bottom of it. (And, just as speculation, a problem with the exact same symptom occurred on the Mac and was resolved by Blackmagic with a driver update. It's possible that they've also resolved it on the Windows side and those of us for whom it works are using an updated driver.)

	Re: CC monitoring by Bob Currier on Sep 8, 2009 at 8:26:20 pm And, again, the cards we officially support from Blackmagic are the Decklink line, not the Intensity line. But there's no good reason for the Intensity not to work... Bob Currier Synthetic Aperture Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index

	Re: CC monitoring by Bob Currier on Oct 21, 2009 at 4:57:16 pm The MXO-2 family is on our list, but since it's not done yet I can't say for certain it will make the next release. And, yes, you can have multiple cards in a system and have Color Finesse use just one of them. Color Finesse ignores all cards until you select one in the Preferences, so in your example you'd select the Decklink and it would be used for previews, while everything else is ignored.

	Re: CC monitoring by Bob Currier on Oct 24, 2009 at 1:11:42 am We haven't specifically tested the Decklink Studio card, but we work with all the other Blackmagic cards we've tested, so I would be surprised if it didn't work.
