The Intensity Pro 4K supports Ultra HD (3840 x 2160) at up to 30 frames per second and 1080 HD at up to 60 frames per second.

Does it come with any video editing software?

What operating systems are supported?

What types of files can I save?

You can save files in professional compressed formats like ProRes and DNxHD, or as fully uncompressed 10-bit video. It also supports QuickTime and Windows Media formats for use with other applications.

Do I need a separate power supply for this card?

Troubleshooting

Device not recognized by the computer

Ensure the PCIe card is securely seated in the slot. Verify that the correct Blackmagic Desktop Video drivers are installed for your operating system. Restart the computer after installation or driver updates.

No video or audio signal captured

Check that all cables are securely connected to both the Intensity Pro 4K and the input/output devices. Confirm that the correct input source is selected in the capture software (e.g., Media Express). Verify that the source device is outputting a compatible signal format (NTSC, PAL, HD, Ultra HD).

Poor video quality or dropped frames

Ensure your computer meets the recommended specifications for the video resolution and frame rate being captured. Close unnecessary background applications that may consume system resources. Try capturing at a lower resolution or frame rate, or use a more compressed format if disk speed is a bottleneck.

Software crashes or freezes during capture/playback

Update to the latest version of the Blackmagic Desktop Video drivers and bundled software. Try using a different capture application or a different video format. Ensure your system has adequate free disk space.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Intensity Pro 4K is an internal PCIe card that requires installation directly into a compatible slot on a Mac, Windows, or Linux computer. Ensure the computer is powered off and unplugged before installation. Once physically installed, connect your video source to the appropriate input (HDMI, Component, S-Video) and your display to the output. Install the necessary Blackmagic Desktop Video drivers and bundled software (Media Express, DaVinci Resolve) from the included CD or the Blackmagic Design website.

Compatibility: This card is compatible with Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux operating systems. It supports a wide array of video formats including NTSC, PAL, 720HD, 1080HD, and Ultra HD (2160p). Ensure your computer has an available PCIe slot and sufficient processing power to handle the desired video resolutions and frame rates.

Care: To maintain optimal performance, keep the computer system well-ventilated to prevent overheating, as the card operates within a 5-40°C range. Regularly clean any dust from inside the computer, especially around the PCIe slot. Avoid exposing the card to excessive moisture or extreme temperatures. For cleaning the card itself, ensure the system is powered off and use a dry, lint-free cloth if necessary.
