Updates
After your computer has restarted, the drivers will check the Blackmagic video hardware to see what internal
software the hardware contains. If the internal software version does not match the driver version, Desktop
Video will prompt you to update. Type the following command in terminal to find out the card ID of any
cards that need updating:
# BlackmagicFirmwareUpdater status
A message similar to the following will appear:
/dev/blackmagic/card0 [DeckLink HD Extreme 3] UPDATED
/dev/blackmagic/card1 [DeckLink HD Extreme 3] NEEDS_UPDATE
Note the ID of the card that needs to be updated and then update the firmware by typing:
# BlackmagicFirmwareUpdater update <card_id> (1 in this case)
