Resolume Forum

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..

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!

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

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