Black Magic Intensity shuttle - multiple inputs

[Borris_yeltzun]

Hi guys, i cant seem to get two independent intensity shuttle sources to intermix through arena.

i am using a canon legria with component > component BMD input, running 1080i at 59.94
secondary Laptop hdmi > hdmi BMD input, running 720p 60

i am able to have one source set up but when i add and configure the second intensity source both intensity clips change to the new source selected.

hlp plz.

do you have two actual intensity devices or just one, where both sources are connected?
the intensity (pro as well as shuttle) can only handle one input at a time, so if that's the case, you need to get a second device.

i have one usb 3 BMD intensity shuttle, where both input sources are connected.
Has anyone out there had any experience multiple usb 3.0 shuttles ???
another reason why i'm going to have to buy a hardware mixer...... anyone had any experience with the cmx-12 or anything else HD/SD ????

we have one intensity pro card in our pc and already a couple of times an additional intensity shuttle via usb3 attached. in resolume, you then see two different sources.
worked without problems.

If you are using a laptop or one usb3 card it will not work. All laptops with usb3 share the one bus with the two usb3 ports (and sometimes other stuff), so only one will work at a time, there is barely enough bandwidth for one Shuttle. 6mbps is whats on the PCIe bus, 4-5mbps is whats needed just for one Shuttle. If you are using a desktop you will need 2 usb3 cards, one for each shuttle. Hope that helps.
