Intensity Pro users?

If there are any folks out there that still use the old Blackmagic Intensity Pro card to drive an external monitor...

I have always had the issue of it, at various times and for no apparent reason, stop displaying "motion" from the Vegas timeline on the Intensity Pro monitor that I've hooked to it. Now it will always display a "static" frame with no problem, anywhere I click the playhead, no sweat. Maybe if I click around the screen for awhile it might start playing motion again, Now if I re-boot Vegas it will play motion for awhile but at some point, usually pretty soon, it will only display a static image on the time line as the playhead is playing. All is fine on the Vegas preview of course.I just can't seem to figure out if there is a little something that I can do to "kick-it" so it will start playing motion again maybe a "secret" hand-shake to get 'er going again. A re-boot of Vegas seems to be the only way... but that's just not too practical to do every time it stops displaying. Not a deal killer for sure since it's gone on for a LONG TIME it's just a bit annoying. It's happened from Vegas version 11,12, and 13. Of course the Intensity works great with After Effects and Premier but Vegas is problematic with it and I guess that's the heart of it. I'm using a two monitor display from the GXT Nivida card and the Intensity is the 3rd monitor on my W7 system.

No problems with VP13 using the BM IP4K.   Have VP14. Tried the first release but found it (VP14) unreliable so did little work using the BM card. Hence still on VP13.

Nice to know the new IP4K will work with V13 at least. Now when you say "unreliable" is that in the same way I have found the old BM IP unreliable with V13...not playing "motion" back when playing the timeline?

Thanks, it's nice to know it will work well with Resolve. But on a side note I can't get HitFilm to see it at all.
