![]() Blackmagic Supports replay on this: “The issue with 8bit YUV is down to the internal architecture of the Extreme, which is 8bit throughout. Its even so that for capture (recording) from HDMI at 720p (or 1080i) the maximum quality is QuickTime Uncompressed 8Bit-(Color)-YUV, 10Bit is not one selectable option (for analog video like PAL there is a 8bit or 10bit option). Other sources like the signal from a CableTelevisionReceiver, this is standard television signal unprotected by HDCP also dous not work. The sources are 100% free off rights, they are self-made video’s and connected (played) through a Panasonic DVD/HDD player with HDMI, Component en Composite out. I got on the i Thunderbold Intensity Extreme installed on a new MacMini 2011 with the fast Intel dual core 2,7Ghz processor i7, 8Gbyte Ram and SSDrive 250Gbyte, operating system Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 (11D50d), this hardware is 100%.įirst the capture from a video source connected on the Intensity Extreme, composite, component or HDMI under BlackMagic Desktop Video installer 9.1 did not work, bud after the update to de last version the BlackMagic Desktop Video installer 9.2 the capture form composite Audio-Video works (30 min Composite at 12Bit-(Color)-YUV = 50Gbyte), capture by composite en HDMI not, the MediaExpress video-monitor window stays black under HDMI and a distorted (grey-scale, mal sync) signal under Component”. I put the two videos together in post using Adobe Premiere Pro CS 5.5 as well as adding the iPad “frame” as a Photoshop file on a layer below. In this case I record both my talking head image, whatever I’m doing on my computer and my audio simultaneously into Screenflow while I’m doing the demo on the iPad 2, which is being recorded into the Intensity Extreme. The reason is I’m also going to want to be on camera and may integrate things/software demos from my computer too. However, just like on my Intensity Pro, I don’t use this set of connections. Just plug in your audio gear and you should be good. The Intensity Pro also supports a breakout set of analog cables and even supplies all the female connections (pictured above). While HDMI does carry both video and audio, the problem is that I want the audio from my voice to be recorded along with the demo. Once I set my preferences, the iPad 2 showed up in the capture window and I was ready to go (record)! What about audio? ![]() NO POWER BRICK! I was already used to the software as it’s the exact same software that the Intensity Pro uses. Once I got back with the cable I installed the BlackMagic software/driver, connected the box and to my pleasant surprise the Intensity Extreme is bus powered via the Thunderbolt port. However, I expect that competition will bring the price. The cable actually has some chips/processors in it. While I’m totally against overpriced cables, the Thunderbolt cable is more than just wire and connectors. As far as I can tell Apple is currently the only company shipping a Thuderbolt cable ($49). How does it work?īefore I could even get started I had to go get a Thunderbolt cable from the Apple Store, as it’s not included. While Apple has been equipping their new Macs with Thunderbolt ports, the actual 3rd party Thunderbolt equipped devices and peripherals have been slow coming to market. As a matter of fact this is my 1st Thunderbolt device. A few months back BlackMagic announced a new external verison, the Intensity Extreme! The difference is is that the Intensity Extreme is an external capture device that connects to your Mac via the super fast Thunderbolt connector. ![]() While the Intensity Pro card works well it means that any videos that I want to produce directly from my iPad 2 have to be done on that computer. The video was recorded using the iPad Digital AV Adapter that allows you to connect an iPad 2 to an HDTV via HDMI and a BlackMagic Intensity Pr o that is installed in my Mac Pro tower. ![]() Earlier this week I released a video showing the NEW Photoshop Touch for iPad 2.
