  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Bought Nvidia 285-Resolve crash

Blackmagic told me that the Intensity Pro would work but it's not in the "supported hardware"
I'm not sure why that is.
In my world either it work or it doesn't work.

Good idea with the plexiglas door.

Thank you
 
The Intensity Pro is not Resolve "supported hardware" because it doesn't have an SDI Input or Output and it doesn't have an RS-422 VTR control port. It MIGHT work if you want to display the Resolve output on an HDMI display. But I'm not even sure about that because it hasn't been tested to do that. Perhaps whoever told you it would work has done that test.

Supported hardware in the Mac Resolve config guide has been tested and verified to work in all respects related to Resolve operation, or if there are any limitations on any specific device, those will be spelled out.

As all the Blackmagic Design I/O cards use the same underlying driver architecture, it's likely most of the cards will work to some level with Resolve. Mainly, if all you are looking for is an output display card, probably most of them will work, within their limitations. Some may only have a specific type of output. Some may only do specific video standards. Some may lack VTR control. Some may lack some, most or all of the Resolve supported audio capabilities. If you have a cheaper card, or want to buy a cheaper card, and it does what you need it to do, great. We just can't support it if you have any issues with it. And we can't tell you if it will work for your scenario.

If you use the recommended DeckLink HD Extreme 3D card as the Resolve I/O device, it will support all of the available Resolve modes of operation.
 
Don't get me wrong Dwaine. I was about to buy the DeckLink HD Extreme 3D. It is the card I want.

But the hustle of getting it to work with only one slot left leaves me with the scenario of throwing out my 285 and buy a 4000, or drill a hole in my computer. I'm happy with my 285. And abusing the Mac doesn't feel good.
And suddenly the belief of "it might work" feels like a not so bad scenario.
I'll try the Intensity, if it doesn't work in my workflow, I guess I'll go get the power drill:) and get the DeckLink HD Extreme 3D.
 
I haven't tested it again recently, but the Intensity used to work with the first version 8.
 
Intensity works!

I must say I'm very impressed by Blackmagic.
Fine line-up of products at different price ranges. It works, it looks good and you can upgrade Resolve after need.
