As these are "file based" formats there is no capture support - you simply copy the data from a camera onto a machine and then playout via DeckLink, Multibridge, or Intensity. There are presets for all of the above formats, so you can use native sequences with CUDA support - just make sure the footage frame size and frame rate matches the sequence you're trying to play it in.

New Updates!

  • Adobe CS5 is now supported!
  • Also new in this update is the introduction of DVCPRO50 and DVCPRO HD capture and playback support in Windows for Adobe Premiere Pro. You can now capture and playback to a widely accepted industry codec using other BlackMagic products and work with broadcast quality video without the need for expensive drive arrays.
