Which BlackMagic cards and drivers are supported?

Continuing the discussion from CORTEX Dailies 1.5 Beta Feedback:

@Anders_Y

Tried hooking an old Decklink Studio into the machine to test the video out, didn’t work out so hot, got a “Failed to open Video Board, Value does not fall within the expected range.” error. I’m guessing I need a newer one. I’m using the BM driver included with desktop video 10.1. It does however seem to work with BM Media Express. Is there a supported card list somewhere? Haven’t found one.

@dave

The problem may have been the driver version. We have been installing the 9.8 driver. We just updated to the SDK version 10.1 in one of the most recent builds so you may want to try again with the latest when you have a chance and report back.

Damn that was fast Dave!! I unchecked the enable box, changed it to 24fps, and turned the test pattern on and it worked! Then flipped back to 23.98, and none for the pattern. Working like a charm now.

As for the copying, had no idea the verify was delayed. Very cool! I’ll use it on the next gig for sure and get back to you.

Thanks again for helping me out with the audio and cineform issues last week!

[Anders_Y (Anders Yarbrough)]

Ok, upon further examination, audio had to be set to ‘none’, otherwise the same error comes up.

Hmm… I would think that should work, but the cards we’ve been testing with are the DeckLink Mini Monitor (Single SDI output only) and the DeckLink 4K Extreme…
