Blackmagic Design video cards
MAGIX Video Pro X5 supports the display and recording of screens and monitors that
are connected through certain Blackmagic Design video cards such as DeckLink and
Intensity.
Fullscreen preview monitor
The image from the video monitor will be displayed on an external monitor, which is
connected to the card output. Activate this in the "Program settings > Display options
> Video output to external device > Activate video output" and select the connected
device.
The display on the external monitor is dependent on the settings of the current movie
(resolution / frame rate / interlace properties). This makes a very precise preview of
the movie possible during editing.
Recording
These cards can also be used to record various signals, such as HDMI. Some DSLR
cameras output preview images through an HDMI. These images can be recorded
directly into a high-quality and editing-friendly format if the camera's internal image
compression is bypassed.
HDMI capture can also be useful for creating presentations with applications
requiring high computing power. An image from a PC with an HDMI out can be
recorded by a second PC with an HDMI in.
