Update: I thought this was working great, but actually every once in a while the capture inserts a single black frame with OBS 26.1, causing a glitch in the video I am producing. I don't get the problem with the MediaExpress application from Blackmagic, so this could just be an OBS bug. Nonetheless, I'm back to using my until the problem is fixed. So beware this might not be ideal for use with OBS on linux right now.I installed mediaexpress, decklink-sdk, and decklink from the arch linux AUR and ran "systemctl enable DesktopVideoHelper.service". Then I shut down my machine and installed the card. After I rebooted, I clicked the "+" button under sources, selected "Blackmagic Device," and then just selected the Intensity Pro 4K under the list of devices. I'm so glad I got this card after spending so much time messing with USB capture devices. Even when a USB capture device may work fine on its own, USB 3.0 itself is really finicky and I had to try out a bunch of different USB/PCIe interfaces before finding one that worked. As a bonus, my camera (a Sony alpha A6100) outputs 4K 29.97p at 4:2:2, which this BlackMagic card can capture. By contrast the best USB capture device I tried (the Epiphan 4K AV.IO 4K, which is more than twice as expensive as the BlackMagic card) can only do 4:2:0 at that resolution--you'd need at least USB 3.1 Gen 2 to do any better.Another difference between this card and a USB device is that the video input does not show up as a V4L2 device. For me, this is a bonus, because I always want to use the output of OBS as a virtual webcam (via obs-v4l2sink), and never want google meet, zoom, jitsi, etc., touching my raw camera inp;ut. Chromium in particular tends to get stuck in a mode where it wants to open my real camera instead of the v4l2loopback "virtual" webcam, which has forced me to jump through hoops to hide my real web camera from chromium while still using it in OBS. With the BlackMagic card, the problem goes away because chromium has no idea about the BlackMagic card, so the virtual webcam is the only option it can open. That said, if you did want to use your camera's HDMI output as a normal webcam or possibly use it with other applications, then a USB capture device might be better. For example, you'll need to recompile ffmpeg if you want to take input from the Intensity Pro 4K (though there seems to be an ffmpeg-decklink package in AUR that probably makes this easier).One negative is that the card does not label inputs and outputs. The HDMI input is the bottom port (furthest from the D connector), so that's where you want to plug in your camera.Another negative is that you do have to rely on a dkms kernel driver, so in theory the kernel could change some interface and the driver would stop working. The AUR package for decklink does require two tiny little patches, and the package maintainer no longer has a BlackMagic card, so there's some risk there. I think worst case you'd have to downgrade to the lts kernel temporarily until blackmagic updates their driver or someone steps up to fix the package.So all in all, I hesitated a lot before getting this, because I thought that USB capture devices would be a safer bet. In the end, though, I'm super happy with the purchase and only wish I'd purchased this sooner--particularly before buying my AV.IO 4K (which is a also good device, just very expensive and not quite as good as the Intensity Pro 4K).

I love this device! It isn't noisy or oversized, or overpriced. It does exactly what it's supposed to and has no trouble whatsoever connecting to the driver and its configuration utility.When paired with the free DaVinci Resolve software, you've got yourself a high-quality video editing solution. Don't think that because the software is free, it isn't good enough or professional enough. I've used Adobe Premiere Pro for many years, and DaVinci Resolve kicks Premiere's a$$ in numerous aspects.I'm in love with Blackmagic now!! If you haven't checked it out, do so when you get a chance. You'll never want to go back to the old, ridiculously expensive, and overrated Adobe Premiere.

I Don't think I've ever written a review for a product within hours of receiving/using it. I've noticed most of the people who have been buying this card lately are video gamers and people who are into video streaming. I'm a video editor, both professionally and as a hobbyist. My current video editing setup consists of Avid Media Composer 8.8.5. I am running this on an older system. My motherboard is a 8-9 year old Asus P6T Deluxe V2. I'm still running Windows 7 (Ultimate 64). My media (video) drives consist of internal SATA2 Seagate Barracuda drives, external firewire (400 and 800) drives, and most recently external USB 3.0 drives (newly added card). The majority of the footage I edit is in 1080p and 720p. About 5 years ago, I purchased a Matrox MX02 mini with Max pci express card + breakbox in order to be able to output to an external hdmi monitor. While the MX02 came with a neat little box, I was never able to get it to run properly with Avid Media Composer. I was running versions 5 and 6 at the time and the MX02 was very buggy. Fast forward five years and I ordered the Intensity Pro 4k just a few days ago. I remembered hearing about the original Intensity Pro at the time I purchased my MX02. Anyway, after reading some reviews and watching as many YouTube videos as I could, I took the plunge and bought the card. I have to say, I can't remember the last time I installed a type of video capture/editing card that just worked right away. I popped the card in, installed the software, rebooted, selected some settings in the Blackmagic Desktop Video Setup program, and launched Media Composer.....and it just worked for me. What can I say? I find it to be very responsive.....the image quality it's sending to my "client monitor" (a 22 inch Samsung TV) is excellent, in my opinion. I drew some masks using the Animatte effect in Avid, and pulling the mask points with the mouse updated in real-time to the monitor. The only capture I've done so far is a test using the output of one of my DVD players (component) in SD (DV25). I have not attempted to capture any HD material yet, so at the moment I can only comment on the card as a playback device. I have also not attempted to capture in 4k. Overall, I really like this card and it's functionality with Avid Media Composer. I hope this review is helpful to other people who are on the fence about buying this card. Over the next few days, I plan on testing the cards capture ability with HD resolutions. If I come across any good or bad stuff, I will update this review. Thanks.01/26/2020After upgrading to windows 10, the latest version of Media Composer, and t he latest Black Magic software, the card no longer works properly. When I launch Media Composer, the intensity pro 4k option is grayed out. I can no longer video from my timeline to a client monitor. I'm still looking for a solution.02/09/20It turns out I was running the latest drivers with what I thought was the latest version of Media Composer. I was mistaken. Once I downloaded the (really) latest version of Media Composer, it works as it should.

Excellent one for channel running purpose

Cette carte fonctionne très bien pour la numérisation de VHS, Hi-8, Video8... Avec la meilleure qualité possible.Trois défauts, son prix qui est plutôt cher, sa rareté qui fait qu'on en trouve pas partout (même sur Amazon suivant la période elle n'est pas disponible) et dernier point négatif, il y a assez rarement, mais il faut quand même le préciser, des "lags" qui font que lors de la numérisation l'image reste fixe pendant 1 voir 2 secondes. C'est rare et ça n'arrive environ qu'une ou deux fois sur un enregistrement de 1h30.Bref, bonne carte, la seule qui permet encore de numériser de l'analogique et cela en bonne qualité. Je recommande.

Para profesionales. Una maravilla.

開封後の箱入りで 届きました。中身のカード本体は 新品同様で、ドライバーソフトのSDカードはありませんでしたが、Blackmagic Design サイトより 最新ドライバーをインストールして、Win11のPC，Grass Valley EDIUS9 で動作確認しております。
