Intensity Pro HDMI and Analog Editing Card - PCI Express is rated 4.3 out of 5 by 244 .

Rated 5 out of 5 by Brian from Works as advertised! This product does exactly what its description says it does - captures standard definition and high definition via various analog connections and HDMI connections and outputs audio and video back out via similar connections. If you need an inexpensive way to jump into working with a wide variety of source types, this may be a great way to go. I have my Intensity Pro card installed in a Mac Pro running Final Cut Studio 2 and OS X 10.5. After a few moments of figuring out how the control panel works and getting the Easy Setups working, everything has been working great. I can monitor SD and HD video at various frame rates via an inexpensive HDTV monitor. This is a very versatile product.

Rated 3 out of 5 by MIstair from Good but limited Intensity Pro works well, but is limited to only a few of the older, more popular HD codecs. If you are going to be using just these codecs it outputs and plays fine. However if you are not going to be using just these codecs then the card is not usable and will output only a single frame as a still. It also does not support the newer more advanced version of the apple codecs released with Final Cut Studio 3. Since the codecs are limited to a select few codecs it would work well in a setup where only those codecs are used. For all other uses I can't recommended it. It is not a universal HDMI output device.

Rated 4 out of 5 by SS John from Good Choice I use the card for viewing video out of Pro Tools. It works great! Fairly easy to set up. But, I didn't get any support from Blackmagic themselves. I had a question about setting it up in Pro Tools and they couldn't answer it and pointed me to Avid/Digidesign to solve the problem. My problem with them was they seemed to pass the buck. It ended up being a simple fix, but they didn't have any interest in helping. Their literature says they're compatible with Pro Tools which is true. They just can't help you setup the card with Pro Tools. So, buy it. It's a good solution. Just don't expect any help from Blackmagic.

Rated 5 out of 5 by tankgrrl from You can only pay more Setup is a breeze and the accompanying software is both useful and forward thinking. The pigtail with the Pro card is a life-saver if you need to suddenly pull in some analog content or send video to a non-HD device. There's really nothing else to compete with the Intensity Pro in this price space and the card really delivers what it promises. Black Magic has basically set the bar and everyone else will need to set their sights higher to compete. If you're doing HDMI capture or want an inexpensive two-camera setup, the Intensity or Intensity Pro is the card(s) for you.

The smart phone outputs audio at 44.1 ksps which is not covered by the Intensity Pro (as clearly stated in its specs). Audio capture on the RCA inputs was easy and reliable. I particularly like the software that comes with the card that will does the setup and the capture. There is no need to invest large sums of money in video editing software. I have multiple PCIe cards in my PC and I had to swap the order of the cards to make the Intensity Pro work. After that installation was a snap.

The software had to be installed twice to work.. But 10mins later all is running well.. I wish it supported 24p 1080 though.. Also VERY IMPORTANT.. For those of you (like me) who do not back up their FCP preferences (i.e. keyboard layout, window layout, presets) You will loose them when you install the program.. SO BACK IT ON UP! Other than that my footage is looking 20% better, 30% bigger, and 25% better render times.. Def worth the money... Enjoy!

Rated 1 out of 5 by jmatsilv from So Far? A Paper Weight I have sent two emails as I have yet to receive a response from anyone at Blackmagic to my first request for support a week ago. The problem is I keep getting a BSOD's whenever I close or make any setting changes in Blackmagic's Media Express or vMix. One thing that is an obvious problem is that the mounting bracket on the Intensity pro card does not line up at all with the mounting hole on my PC case or two of my other cases on other machines for that matter. So when I screw in the card bracket it causes it to not seat properly in the PCI-E slot. I have seen that other folks are having this same issue on other forums. Blackmagic needs to resolve this.
