Intensity now supports HV20 at DVinfo.net

Kristian Lam · June 6th, 2007, 02:20 AM

Hi guys,

We've just released the v1.5 driver for Intensity (Mac and Windows 32-bit). This release supports the Canon HV20. Sorry about the wait.

Excellent news. Thanks for the post, Kristian.

When will the Pro version begin to ship... your website still says May...

Thanks for the update for the HV20....

Alex Raskin · June 6th, 2007, 05:06 AM

Kristian, I tried Intensity (not Pro version) with drivers v 1.4 and it did not work.

(the card itself did not; nothing to do with hv20... the card simply would not see the hdmi video source like sony v1u...)

Had to downgrade to v 1.2 and it worked.

Is this issue fixed in v 1.5?

Kristian Lam · June 6th, 2007, 06:40 AM

Intensity Pro has shipped. Some customers are already using it.

Hi Alex,

I'm actually not aware of this issue at all. Could you please try the v1.5 drivers and let me know. If necessary, log a support request using this address:

support[at]blackmagic-design.com

Thanks.

Thanks for the official update! And for the hard work. Now i need to save a few penny's for the Int. Pro. :)

Very interesting. So, if you have one of these cards do we not have the same problems with pulldown?

Noah Yuan-Vogel · June 6th, 2007, 10:18 AM

I think the issue wasnt with pulldown but with getting a 1080i signal over hdmi instead of just 480i. I'd like to hear if anyone has news about how this actually affects that issue.

I'm looking at all the data on their website..

what does "supported now" mean? Did it not work with its HDMI output before? Does it now support realtime 24p pulldown capture?

Honest questions - not tyring to be difficult

I just wanted to add my thanks for posting the news, Kristian.

yes yes! Thanks for the news, its much appreciated!

Regardless of the current situation - i'm getting a great deal on being able to setup a HDTV monitor in my home studio with HDMI and getting composite-in for $350 (when i pick one up next month)

Terence Krueger · June 6th, 2007, 12:35 PM

anyone tried it yet?
didnt notice til just now, ill have to test it later.

terence

Miguel Quiles · June 6th, 2007, 12:42 PM

I was looking through some other posts about this card, and it doesnt look like it affects the pulldown process at all, but hopefully someone who knows can confirm this one way or another. If by some stretch of the imagination it actually does remove pulldown I'll be ordering one of these before weeks end.

Hi Don,

Intensity was unable to capture from the HV20 previously so we updated the firmware on the card to support it.

We currently capture the 1080i output and don't pull down to 24p.
