Q: Vegas 9 and Blackmagic (Intensity v. Decklink)?

Houston Haynes wrote on 4/29/2009, 11:36 AM

So - I read the new feature list for Vegas 9, and noticed a line item indicated support for Blackmagic Decklink. Does this also presume support for the "Intensity" line of cards?

For the most part, the Intensity works in Vegas v8 and I assume it will continue to work in v9.

That thread 1) didn't come up when I did a forum search, and 2) doesn't answer my question. I'm asking about the specific salience of distinguishing between Intensity versus Decklink products - or whether they can be considered to be "the same" from an application support perspective.

Does "for the most part" mean for Vista 32/64 bit? What about Windows 7?

In Vegas 8 my Intensity Pro works under Decklink emulation.

Mind you I don't use it for capture just output to an external monitor so can't specify if it 'fully' works.

As the Decklink is either supports as per the page on Capture and Output on the Vegas Pro 9 prerelease info on this website, or not if you refer to the reply from Peter in the other thread your guess is as good as mine as to whether V9 supports it.
