Instruction manual

Overview

Welcome

Thank you for purchasing Intensity Pro.

We hope you share our dream of making the video industry truly creative by allowing everyone

access to the highest quality video and sound. Intensity Pro includes the same high quality video

technology used in all Blackmagic Design video cards, so you won’t be limited creatively.

I have always felt that everyone should have the possibility of self-actualization through creative

expression. When you think about it, creativity, design and the arts are the true essence of humanity

and is what makes us unique as a species. Television is a wonderful creative medium because it

overloads the senses with exciting vision and sound, while being easy for viewers to experience.

Until now, the high quality video required for feature ﬁlms, music videos, television commercials

and episodic television production required massive equipment costs. Unfortunately this turned

the television industry into an exclusive club. I think one of the most exciting things we have done

at Blackmagic Design is make the highest quality video available to all of us - so now your creative

abilities can make you the world’s best.

We are really excited about what you’ll do with your new Intensity Pro!

The instruction manual you’re reading now contains all the information you’ll need for installing your

Intensity Pro card, plus extra instructions on using it as a powerful HDMI based editing, design and

effects solution. Please take the time to check it out as there are lots of tips and tricks to help you.

Before you install Intensity Pro, please visit our support page at www.blackmagic-design.com to

download the latest updates to this instruction manual and Intensity driver software. We have more

helpful tech notes on our support page, and you might ﬁnd a newer version of the software and

manual than was included on the CD with your Intensity Pro card.

Lastly, please register your Intensity Pro serial number with us, when you download the latest Intensity

driver software, so we can keep you updated when new software is released.

Perhaps you can even send us your latest “show reel” of work completed on your Intensity Pro and

any ideas for changes to the Intensity software. We are constantly working on new features and

improvements, so we would really love to hear from you!
