We noted a few months ago that Blackmagic would be bringing an HDMI capture card to market. The $250 card is now shipping.
A good friend of mine picked one up the other day, and is doing some testing on a Mac system. After creating a striped RAID array for the captures (don’t think for a second that a single drive can keep up), he’s now wrangling with the card and drivers. It works part of the time, but there are some issues with it randomly not being recognized by his system. More details to come. Have any other readers had success with the card?

Those intensity cards look very interesting and there’s not a lot of solid info about them on the net since they’re just coming out. What kind of camera does your friend capture with? Would love to see some uncompressed greenscreen footage screen grabs or video from that card.
He’s shooting with the new V1U camcorder from Sony. I’ll see what footage samples he might be able to scratch up.
“YEAH” the Intensity card captures nicely to an Intensity HDTV 1080i 59.94-DVCPRO HD timeline with Final Cut Pro 5.1.4 … but I find the “NEAH’s” at this point stronger than the “YEAH’s”. None of the Firewire Device Control Presets work with the Intensity card, so capture is on the fly. Even that gets a little tougher because while capturing, the capture window goes black on the main screen while the device capture window remains in a freeze frame.To make this more interesting, the Intensity HDMI card over rides the Radeon X1900 video output (Apple DVI to video adapter) to the Sony PVM 1351Q monitor. The only monitoring available is the LCD screen on the HDR-HC7 and I don’t fancy that at all.
How do u get it to override? because by defualt that shit dont work for videol out to monitor. on a 6600 LE with dvi Nvidia drivers.
