Just installed a new Intensity Pro to use with Vegas 8. Couple of points:
1. the tech at BMD said the card works with v. 8.0a and b, but not c or d.
2. When I told him that the first test I did--capturing some VHS video--left some nasty no-genlock artifacts at the bottom of the frame, he allowed that no, there is no way to sync a signal when capturing from a deck. Camcorders are ok.
When I told him I bought the card to capture footage from Beta SP tape for a professional production, he confirmed the Intensity Pro did not have a genlock feature, which would make my buying this card a complete waste of time and money.
Then, just to make it interesting, he said he'd send me a jpeg showing how to connect the Y-output from the Intensity to an SP deck's reference video input, and said this might work.
My plan was to take my computer, loaded with the Intensity and a big external disk to the dubber's with the beta decks, does anyone have any reassurances or warnings, or experience with using this card this way?
Thanks for any help.
