However, I'm unsure if my laptop meets the very specific hardware requirements.
It's an HP Pavilion dv7-4050ed, for those interested and I don't believe that the Intel Mobile HM55 chipset will be compatible with the Black Magic Intensity Shuttle (but please correct me if I'm wrong!) |
MSI GE620 seems to be the only laptop currently certified by Blackmagic Design for use with the
Intensity Shuttle.
You may also find some reports of successful usage of MSI FX720, Samsung SF411, Lenovo T420s with the
Intensity Shuttle.
I really doubt HP Pavilion dv7-4050ed will work with the Intensity Shuttle, but you may contact Blackmagic Design support to make sure.

Personally I can't see the difference between component and HDMI when using 720p/1080i. But note that you can't transfer 1080p video over component.
