After my editing PC was destroyed by the recent flood, I decided it was a great excuse to upgrade some of the equipment in the studio. On the top of the list was by video capture device. I had been using Amazon and eBay cheap capture devices for my analog sources, and they were pretty terrible. This time, I decided to go with something with excellent quality: the Blackmagic Intensity Pro 4K. This PCIe card will handle anything from 525-line NTSC SD video to 4K digital. In this video, we will look around it, get it installed, and do a live video capture from VHS to see how it looks.

Don't suppose you've determined if the comb filter or Y/C separation circuit is any good on this device? I'm always on the lookout for something that tackles cross color and dot-crawl well when capturing Laserdisc. Also what file format does this capture video in? DV level .avi or MP4?

It captures in quite a few formats. Uncompressed and compressed. Next time I'm in there, I'll copy them down and post them here.

The channel Reasonably British has a lengthy comparison video featuring it. He loved the capture quality, but hated the software. A lot. And its manual claimed that it had a TBC, but it doesn’t. And now the manual is no longer available on the site. Its encoder chip has a 5-line comb filter, but he only did s-video captures. I’m also always on the lookout for cards with a good comb filter for my own LDs and their dot crawl. I assume this captures to AVI in whatever codec you select. It captures interlaced video as-is, which is good,

Could you offer some advice? I've transferred all my VHS with a Sony DVD recorder. Did well, nice resolution, but not smooth playback, even on crt. However, one more time, I'd like to do it all over again at the best quality I can muster; not upscaled, as analog as I can keep it. Just a direct transfer. Here's my setup: VCR => Black Magic Mini Analog to SDI => Black Magic Ultra Studio Recorder => 2018 Mac Mini running OBS So, that's: S Video to SDI cable to Thunderbolt 3 cable to the Mac Mini. I can get the video I'm after, 525i at NTSC 23.97fps, but no audio. It's just not working. In your opinion, could the Intensity Pro 4K get me there?

I think the Intensity pro could get you there. I've been really impressed with the quality so far.
