Hi chers.
I tested FOLSOM/BARCO IMAGE PRO SD (standard definition)with:
powerpoint 1024 x 768 presentation on PC Laptop in VGA mode in
and SDI output,connected to black magic Extreme HD of my Catalyst.

Working fine at best resolution.
You need to select "INTERLACE OFF" in the HUD input control panel,
relatively to the input are you using.

This features is good during "CONVENTION" where people to use
POWERPOINT presentation.
On wednesday il will check the same test using

FOLSOM/BARCO IMAGE PRO HD (high definition)
to import high resolution POWERPOINT presentation.

Thanks Richard

You could of course try a Decklink Intensity...
Get a display capable of displaying 720p60 or an Image Pro HD, program a DVI detective with the EDID information. Plug it into your laptop, and plug a DVI to HDMI cable to connect the output of the DVI detective to go into the Decklink Intensity. Set Catalyst Video Input to look at the Decklink Intensity at 720p60 and off you go... No deinterlacing required (which effectively reduces the resolution), and RGB...

Just a thought...

The Intensity absolutely KILLS performance and reduces framrates by half. I wouldn't go this route.

The Decklink Extreme HD is now the only option for mac pros (895USD)

no it doesnt kill performance - its the nvidia 7300 that does this- like i said. the nvidia 7300 is really stretched doing mulitple outputs.

i have had to replace several with x1900 on shows.

it works fine with x1900. it works fine doing 1080i providing you are not trying to do to many other things at the same time

video input REQUIRES careful consideration of playback, and conservative operation.


you need to replace your 7300.

Hugh and myself have both used intensity cards successfully on shows.

I have a show at the national theatre running with one now.

intensity has much better latency than decklink hd.
