Hello,
I just got an intensity shuttle thunderbolt, that I want to use with a Lenovo Thinkpad P1 Gen 4.
I installed Desktop Video Setup (DVS) and Blackmagic Media Express (BME). The latter detects the device correctly.
Notice that the laptop possesses two Thunderbolt 4 ports. I thus have the adapter to connect the shuttle to the PC.
The shuttle has been used successfully by a friend on a MacBook.
I installed everything on my PC few days ago (downloading software from Blackmagic website).
I have an old VHS player (JVC DD859MS), on the back of which I plug a scart-to-composite video basic device. I then plug the composite cables into the input of the shuttle.
I also have a Sony DVD player (RDR-HX790) which I plug in the HDMI input port of the shuttle.
I paid attention that setups in DVS were the same as in BME.
For both devices, the display in Media Express remains black with no sound. I changed the 'conversion' options in DVS, and then got a blue image and the sound (not playing, but I saw the green levels fluctuate). I changed those options back, and then forth again and the blue image and sound are now totally absent again.
So I don't know what to do. I know some people may advise to use a TBC, but is that really the solution? Or is there something obvious I'm missing? I ask that because plugging the DVD player into the HDMI port leads to the same problem.
If I need some TBC (or other device), what brand would you advise?
Thanks a lot for your help, I have about 25 VHS tapes (secam type - being french) to digitize for the end of this month...
