DeckLink software
1. The CD supplied with the DeckLink contains the DeckLink software. Before you install, ensure you
have the very latest driver. Visit www.blackmagic-design.com/support
2. Open the “DeckLink Installer” folder and launch the “DeckLink Installer” application.
3. The drivers will now be installed on your system. A warning will appear that “Windows
can’t verify the publisher of this driver software” or about “logo certification”.
Click
Continue Anyway to ignore this warning.
4. You will see a dialog bubble saying “found new hardware” and the hardware wizard will appear.
Select “install automatically” and the system will find the required DeckLink drivers. You will then
receive another dialog bubble saying “your new hardware is ready for use.”
5. Now restart your machine to enable the new software drivers.
Automatic firmware updating
After your computer has restarted, the software will check the DeckLink hardware to see what firmware the
card contains. If the firmware version does not match the software version, DeckLink will offer to update
the firmware. This is automatic and all you need to do is click
OK to start the update. After the firmware has
updated, restart your computer to complete the process.
Programmable firmware can provide new features, compatibility with new hardware and support for new
formats.
