I have just installed Decklink in an Intel based PC (Gigabyte GA-B85M-HD3 mobo, 16GB RAM, i5 processor, 4TB SATA drive). I have read the Desktop Video PDF and installed v 10.11. I am only interested in capturing composite PAL at this time, so I have set the Blackmagic control panel for composite video / analog audio I/O, and default system is PAL.
When I run Media Express and go to Prefs, my project type is PAL, and I can capture in AVI 8-bit YUV, or 10-bit, or AVI Motion JPG, or DVX. If I run the Speed Test, it's flying, and sure enough I can capture any of the above formats with no dropped frames (I'm using a Hi-8 camera as test source).
Because I want to capture to ProRes, I installed QuickTime v7.75 and verified that a ProRes MOV plays OK in QuickTime Player. Now, I run Media Express again, expecting to see all the QT codecs that I can use for capture, but it's still just the 4 AVI ones. How can I use Media Express to capture in ProRes MOV format on Windows? Or is ProRes capture a Mac-only thing?
The Decklink specs at blackmagicdesign.com/au/products/decklink/techspecs say it supports (...) Apple ProRes 4444, Apple ProRes 422 (HQ), Apple ProRes 422, Apple ProRes (LT), Apple ProRes 422 (Proxy) etc.
The blurb at blackmagicdesign.com/au/products/decklink/mediaexpress says that Media Express capture 'supports uncompressed YUV and RGB QuickTime, AVI and DPX plus compressed ProRes, DVCPRO, MJPEG formats'. It's touted as a fully cross-platform app, with Mac, Windows and Linux supported.
I will be getting a Mac and another Decklink and can use this for ProRes if that's the only way.. it just seems to me that it should be possible in Windows. I'm a Decklink newbie, so any input gratefully received!
