Hello there
I can confirm that the Black Magic Intensity Shuttle with USB 3.0 does work with a Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro laptop (of the 2014 vintage).
We tested it in the UK with a Sony Projector HD Video Camcorder setting the Black Magic Encoder to PAL input in order to match the camera output.
The operating system is Windows 8.1
Our issues are the following:
1) When the Shuttle is connected to machine through USB 3.0, we do not hear a sound and there is no notification. The only way to see the device is Control Panel -> System -> Devices
2) At the moment, we are struggling with getting the input captured with Adobe Premiere Pro CS6. How does one capture with the Intensity Shuttle? "Capture device does not exist". It is not clear how to force Premiere Pro CS6 to recognise that there is a device connected, namely the Intensity Shuttle.
3) The Black Magic Encoder can do with some improvement.
3a) It is not suitable for ultra high DPI screen on the Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro (3200 x 1800 pixel resolution, which is also applies to similar laptops too). *FIXME*
3b) When you press capture the digital frame 00:00:00:00 remains at 00:00:00:00. It does not track the real- time, which is incredibly useless on a live recording. This is basic GUI software engineering to update a Label widget against a scheduled time Plain Old C/C# action controller. :-/ During a capture session, you only see the elapsed time when you stop the capture! *FIXME*
3c) The encoder should have or allow other video CODECs to be plugged into the program. In fact, if you want to sell more of these boxes, consider the PROSUMER market, not everyone wants to capture a Gigs of Video footage, some people want to directly produce a WMV or MOV on the fly. Consider on option for some folks who just want to rough capture to SD and not necessarily HD with smaller file size so that they can just upload to DropBox or chuck on a USB 2G (ten a penny) conference thumb drive stick. We could then have a store a lot of footage on a laptop without lugging around external drives. It would be fantastic to have on the fly MPEG4 compression / encoding *FEATURE REQUEST*
Despite my criticism, the Shuttle has been a life saver.
Our work around is to load the massive AVI files into Windows Video Maker and then generate smaller WMV files for customers and upload them or dump them onto sticks.
