Linux users currently need to download the DeckLink SDK for the Linux version of drivers and Media Express 2.0 software.

We have 3 Mac Pro systems with Decklink HD Extreme cards running Mac OS 10.6.7, Avid MC 5.5.3. We upgraded TWO of these machines to Mt. Lion 10.8.1 and Media Composer 6.03, which Avid recently certified to run with Mt. The system in our edit seven would not run Mt. Lion so we upgraded to Lion 10.7.4 with Avid 6.03. We updated the drivers for the cards to the latest available 9.6.2.

Decklink

All 3 cards have stopped working properly. Video output and audio stutter badly if they play/display at all. We removed the Decklink cards so that we could get Avid to work as it was defaulting to use the cards.

Can anyone help us trouble shoot these issues and resolve the problem as classes have begin here and our students already have projects they are working on. Here are the raw specs on our Mac Pro systems. Robert, I just upgraded my MacPro with Decklink HD Extreme PCI to Mountain Lion and came to the same conclusion. It isn't working anymore. The good news is that I got it to work again!!! After installing from my original disk and downloading 6.8.8 and 9.6.2 from the website with no luck.

Download

I downloaded and installed 7.3 and then low and behold my decklink HD extreme is back up and working again. Which is amazing because I use it to color correct my footage and don't know what I'd do without it. I hope this helps you as well. Decklink7.3.dmg in the archived software section.

Yes I tried a couple of times but still nothing. You know I don't use video output with my DeckLink HD Extreme card, I use only audio XLR or Canon cabels which goes into my professional active M-audio speakers. Until I upgrade my OS X to 10.8.1 I still have my sound when I uninstalled it and installed it again, but when I install the latest upgrade for my new OS X from apple site I cannot brig back my sound back My original Blackmagic cd with drivers on when I want to install Media Express Mac it says THE BLACKMAGIC DRIVER THAT IS CURRENTLY INSTALLED IN YOUR SISTEM IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH MEDIA EXPRESS. PLEASE INSTALL THE LATEST VERSION OF THE BLACKMAGIC DRIVER. I think when I haven't got this Blackmagic Media Express I will not going to have any audio (sound in my speakers). I thing that my new OS X needs the latest DeckLink 7.9.6 driver. I try to find it tomorrow somewhere.

Thank you for trying to help me. Blackmagic please help if you can.

I am very new in all this. I order you're camera and I't still havent come here in Croatia I hope It will come soon.

Well, that card has not really been tested in a number of years. So it's really hard to say what might be going wrong here. Specifically that board is NOT certified to run with Avid 6.x so we cannot guarantee it to work, though I would be interested in knowing if it works with Media Express. So on the current driver I'd ask that you check Media Express functionality with the Decklink HD Extreme.

On the older driver I'd expect you to have to use an older version of Media Express as that driver will NOT support Media Express 3. The DeckLink HD Extreme legacy card does not appear to work with the newer drivers that would be certified with Mountain Lion (Desktop Video 9.6 and above). On these versions, the card shows up as available hardware, but nothing will output from it in Media Express. Rolling back the driver to an older version proves successful on the card, however older drivers are not certified on Mountain Lion and may not function fully.

As a note, Desktop Video 8.0 on 10.6.8 does appear to work, but without systematically rolling through every driver we wouldn't be able to say what may or may not work on that older card. We´re seeing the same problem with multiple cards on both Mac OSX 10.7.4 and Windows 7 64bit.

The latest driver that appears to work on both systems is the 9.5.3 driver. The problem is that these drivers doesn't work with Premiere Pro CS6 or Final Cut Pro X, too many bugs! My question to Kaspar and the other BMD representatives is if you're planning on digging up an old card and testing it, or if the solution is for everyone to replace their old cards? I understand that 6 years is a long time to support a card, but it would be fantastic if it turned out that only a small software tweak was needed to keep them going a little longer.

We'll have to ask development but I would strongly doubt it. The issue is that while it might just need a small firmware change to work, the firmware for those cards has not been touched in YEARS. Meaning it automatically means it's no small task. And then that firmware would have to go through a testing cycle and that takes up a lot of QA time. So it's not just a simple matter.

We have verified this in house (as we do still have these boards in our labs here) and found the same thing you guys are seeing. So its not a matter of digging up the boards. Again, we'll talk to the Product Manager, but I am not sure.

Hi, i'm having this exact same problem except i'm working with FCP7, FCX & Premiere Pro. I've just done a fresh install of mountain lion and all my other software. I have Video & Audio coming through the decklink HD extreme card but it is very stuttery and had a weird digital grain flicking through it. Thats with the latest drivers installed, i've tried many different versions of desktop video and while some of the older legacy ones 7x&8x work better. They are not supported with mountain lion or FCX & Premiere pro so the results are less than required. Is there going to be a fix for this or am i going to have to fork out a few hundred dollars for a new card?? Thanks, Scott.

Hello, I'm having similar problems with my DECKLINK HD EXTREME 2 MacPro 3.1 ML 10.8.2 DeckLink Extreme 2 (SDI+HDMI) Resolve 9.0.4 Desktop Video 9.5.3 ( I tried 9.6.9 too ) This setup was stable, but one day crashed. I think it started to crash when I updated iTunes to 11.0.1.

Since then it was stable. First failed the sound.

Then it began to crash the video output from Resolve, and finally it was impossible to work properly with the card attached to the mac. I tried anything; Changing the slot, changing graphic card, downgrading and upgrading Davinci or Desktop Video panel. The only solution I found to have my computer stable is erasing the iTunes LIBRARY. Since I erased the itunes library my Mac runs stable. Now I get output image from FCPX or After Effects.

But I still don't get any image from Davinci. As you can imagine I really need to SEE Davinci Resolve's SDI output.

The current model is the Decklink HD Extreme 3D+ and will soon be followed by the Decklink 4k Extreme. The current card does work with the Desktop Video 9.6.4 driver.

The original Decklink HD Extreme from 6 years ago is the one that is being referred to in this post. Don't worry the Decklink HD Extreme line isn't going anywhere. Can you tell me when you stopped testing the Decklink HD extreme 1?. With what driver /OS / FCP combination will the card work? I am looking for a Stable setup for Final cut Pro 7. Install it on a clean drive. Its not stable on 10.6.8.

Mac Driver Download

It has not been stabel for quite some time. Lots of crashes and what can i do to get it working with FCP X?. It does not work on Mountain Lion. 10.8.2 will this work with 10.7.5.? I have seen an output o FCP X, but dont remember which OS, Lion was very slow on my system so I updated to Mountain Lion, and now no more Video Output Please Help.

I have been reading this forum to see what other folks with the same setup as I have come up with. It's funny that there are mixed results. Ok, here goes.

I have a Decklink HD Extreme card that was in my G5. Worked perfectly. I used it for color correction out of Final Cut Pro 6 and monitored it on a Sony Broadcast Blue Gun monitor, along with using a Tektronics waveform monitor. I upgraded and got a MacPro 3.1 2008 model, Quad-Core Intel Xeon, 2.8 GHz. Running Mountain Lion 10.8.3.

I put the BM card in that and tried it out using the latest drivers from BM on BM Media Express and Final Cut Pro 7. Everything was viewable through my external Sony BVM. I also have Adobe CS6 and cannot view externally in Premiere Pro CS6 or After Effects. No response from Adobe on why that doesn't work.

I am reading that BM doesn't want to go back on older products like mine, but has anyone found a way to make it work on Adobe CS6? Or do I have to spend the 300 bucks on a new BM card just to view on my Sony blue gun monitor?

Any help would be appreciated.
