2+ blackmagic intensity shuttles ?

[VJair]

has anyone tested using more than 1 blackmagic intensity shuttle's at th same time? if so, how did it work for you?

Only on Resolume 3.

Not yet on Resolume 4 Arena.
Will do it on Res 4 later .

I trust the Development team have tested R4 with multi-shuttles , but will find out for myself soon .

What I got to look forward to:

6 Intensity Pro Cards and 2 Intensity Shuttles all at once on Resolume 4 Arena.

FYI; Res3 Avenue were buggy with 4+ Intensity on Mac , but on Windows 7 I got max of 6.

Hi!
How do you plug 6 intensity in your Mac? I have a MacPro without free pci slots and I'm wondering how to capture video (no usb3, no thunderbolt).
Could you be more precisse about your config?
thanks!

I am using a hybrid system.

MAC os on a MSI Big-bang Marshal motherboard.

I am not sure if the exact details are allowed to discuss here, but if you ask the specific question I'll answer.

With the 2 shuttles, were they on the same usb3 card/ bus? Thanks much!

1 Intensity Shuttle per USB3 bus only.

Althouh my system got 12 USB3 ports available, they were divided by 3 bus. 4 ports on each bus.
4(ports) x 3(bus)= 12 total ports.

Each bus shares the 6gig speed among the 4 ports. Intensity Shuttles uses more than half of the 6gig.

Tried 2 shuttle on a single bus, with no success. Didn't have any scientific procedures, just used logic.
What works and what won't work.

FYI:I prefer the PCI card Intensity Pro. Simpler and cleaner workspace.

Cool thanks for the info! Got my shuttle working on a Sager NP8130 but it's a laptop so limited. When you ran two off the same card did they just not work at all? Or do the flicker thing? Any other recommendations for a laptop capture card? Firewire has delay, no express card on my laptop..

[fruitygreen]

On windows did not work and a window message about not enough bandwidth displayed.

Flickering occured on different scenerios.

Sorry for being a bit naive. But how are you using the blackmagic intensity cards anyway?
Wondering if it's solely for capture, input cameras, will they mix HD video for outputing?

Thanks!

[fruitygreen]

Intensity is used mainly for HD (computers/cameras)mixing via Resolume.

I could capture with no problems, but I reserve that as an option.
