Good morning,
Since DeckLink I and the very first driver for Windows I've been a very happy customer of BMD. But lately this changed to the opposite when I tried to capture UHD video from the GH4 to MXF-wrapped DNxHR.
My first attempt was with an early version of the DeckLink 4K Extreme and an Asus P6T7 WS SuperComputer mainboard. I swapped between Windows 7 and 8.1, Quadro and GeForce cards, and tried (nearly) every combination of slots (and there were many!) but could not get it to work with any driver later than v9.9.6.
OK, I said to myself, this machine is simply too old and I built a new one based on an Intensity Pro 4K and a GigaByte GA-H97-HD3 mainboard. This time the task was simple: I put the Quadro card in the only x16 slot and the Intensity card in the only x4 slot. But the disappointment was big: With the newer drivers I only get FHD resolutions (albeit auto-detected!). For UHD I have to switch to v10.3.7. So no deep colour and no support for Avid MC 8.4.
Adam, you seem to be lucky with GigaByte mainboards, the Intensity Pro 4K, and v10.4.1 drivers. So what am I possibly doing wrong? Many, many thanks for any hints in the right direction! I'm a desperate man!
