Blackmagic Intensity Shuttle is the only reasonably priced USB 3.0 capture card.
Note that
Blackmagic Intensity Shuttle puts very strict hardware requirements.
Intel X58 series motherboards with onboard USB 3.0 support are required to support Blackmagic Design's USB 3.0 video products. The onboard USB 3.0 support of other motherboards, such as the P55 series, cannot be used.
Listed below are motherboards that have been verified by Blackmagic for
Blackmagic Intensity Shuttle, UltraStudio Pro and Pocket UltraScope
You can also use Blackmagic Design's USB 3.0 products with
a P55 or X58 series motherboard which has been fitted with a USB 3.0 PCI Express expansion card.
The USB 3.0 expansion card must be one of the following:
- x4 lane PCI Express. This card can be fitted in a x4 lane or faster slot in any supported series of motherboard. Blackmagic recommends the Asus U3S6.
- x1 lane PCI Express 2.0. This card can be fitted in a x1 lane or faster PCI Express 2.0 slot in any supported series of motherboard. Blackmagic recommends the Gigabyte GA-USB3 and the Shintaro USB 3.0 PCIe expansion card.
On some motherboards, it may be necessary to enable PCI Express 2.0 for 1 lane PCIe slots in the BIOS to ensure full bandwidth is available to the PCI Express 2.0 slots.
Make sure your USB 3.0 card is installed in a PCIe slot connected to the North Bridge. This will ensure full bandwidth is being provided to your card. If you see the image of your Blackmagic output flashing, this would be a good indication that your USB 3.0 card is not running at full bandwith.
Many USB 3.0 cards have shipped with older firmware and drivers which won't support Blackmagic Design's USB 3.0 products. It is essential to check the firmware and driver versions of your USB 3.0 card
