Upgrade from Cam Link 4K

Had the Elgato Cam Link 4k, but it was constantly giving me problems (frozen red screen). Upgraded to the Intensity Pro 4K. Received it in a timely manner, unpackaged it, inserted it PC, downloaded drivers, restarted, opened VMIX, and it opened it up immediately. Great picture, never froze up. Love it.

I like these cards and they are a part of my success.

I have 3 of these now from several versions of internal cards.. The first was the older Intensity Studio 2. It works just fine. The new one was even easier to get the software to "hook up" than the older versions.

Good but not what we expected

Works great for hdmi and component. Not exactly what we expected. Wasn’t completely plug and play. DaVinci Resolve is very specific with how it must be setup.

Works Flawlessly in Davinci Resolve and Fusion

It was simple to install and runs relatively quiet. You CAN hear the fan a little but not as bad as I have seen others complain about. The output to my UHD TV monitor and UHD Color grading monitor works perfectly and, even though I don't have a big need for it, the capture and Davinci Live features work perfectly as well.

Works Great on High End 6850k Build

Using this on a fairly beefy, 6850K, Asus X99 Deluxe II board. Captures my Panasonic GH-4 at full 4k effortlessly, and works well with Media Express (included) as well as my mainstay, Wirecast 7. Not natively compatible with Windows 10 Insider Skype, but easy enough to create a virtual webcam in Wirecast, then it looks great. After installation, rig saw no temp increases or crashing, and most importantly, not dropping any frames as I record episodes for YouTube. I really like the card!

Intensity Pro 4K works with everything from NTSC, PAL, 720HD, 1080HD and all the way up to Ultra HD, the world's newest video standard. Ultra HD has a massive resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels which is four times the resolution of regular 1080HD!

Today's HD game consoles can run up to 60 frames per second so you get the smoothest motion during even the fastest paced gameplay. That's double the frame rate of ordinary HD video! The latest consoles also feature deep color, so you get dramatically better color for a more realistic gaming experience. Intensity Pro 4K can capture 1080 HD video at up to 60 frames per second. That means you can capture every heart pounding detail of gameplay and create the most amazing looking walk through videos for posting online to share with your audience!

Archive Old Tapes and DVDs
Preserve your most valuable video forever!
Rescue your old VHS, BetaMax video tapes and DVDs by making digital archives with Intensity Pro 4K! If your DVDs get scratched or your old tapes deteriorate and break you could lose important video memories forever. And as tapes get older, it's harder and harder to find working decks to play them back! Intensity Pro 4K captures better looking video than other solutions because it includes a professional, broadcast grade time base corrector to help stabilize video from poor quality tapes, like VHS and older DVDs. You can even adjust the audio and video levels before you capture so that your video looks as good as possible. Files can be saved as either uncompressed or compressed video so your valuable video is preserved forever! Intensity Pro 4K is the only consumer video capture and playback card that's built using the same broadcast quality video components that professionals in the film and television industry use! Files can be saved in professional compressed formats, like ProRes and DNxHD or as fully uncompressed 10-bit video, the format used by professional television production studios.

Works With Everything
Use the video software you know and love
Intensity Pro 4K is a PCIe card for Mac, Windows and Linux computers. It includes the easy to use Media Express software for Mac, Windows and Linux, along with DaVinci Resolve Lite for Mac and Windows. That means you get a complete video capture and post production solution in the box without having to buy any additional software! You can also save files in QuickTime or Windows Media format and then use them with other popular Mac and Windows applications like Final Cut Pro X, Premiere Pro, Vegas Pro, Media Composer, Fusion, After Effects, Flash and many more.

DaVinci Resolve Lite
Professional editing, grading and delivery included free!
Now you can edit and grade your video using the same tools that Hollywood uses! DaVinci Resolve Lite for Mac and Windows is included free with Intensity Pro 4K. You get the same multi track video editing and advanced color grading system that professional editors and colorists use to make Hollywood's biggest blockbuster films, television shows and commercials!

High quality capture and playback for SD, HD and Ultra HD!
Intensity Pro 4K is the most versatile, easiest and highest quality way to capture and playback video on your computer. If you're editing video, color correcting, recording game walkthrough videos or simply trying to archive old tapes for safekeeping, Intensity Pro 4K is the perfect solution.

Video Editing
Preview video edits on the big screen!
Intensity Pro 4K lets you do high end video editing with consumer video equipment such as large screen TVs for realtime edit monitoring. Intensity Pro 4K is the perfect solution for capturing from both the latest HDMI cameras or even older analog videotapes. Once the video has been captured, you can edit, color correct or even create animations and effects while watching it play back full screen on a cinematic big screen television. The built in HDMI connections let you plug directly into the latest HD and Ultra HD televisions so you can see your work on the big screen! Intensity Pro 4K works with the world's best video software like DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro X, Premiere Pro, Media Composer and more!

Color Correction
See accurate color for grading and correction
Computer screens display color using RGB values, while televisions use YUV. That means they both display different ranges of colors. The colors you see on a computer monitor might not display the same way on a customer's HD or Ultra HD television when viewing at home. When you're color correcting a video project it's important to see everything play back on an HD or Ultra HD television so you can make accurate decisions about the color while you work. Intensity Pro 4K lets you connect everything from analog NTSC/PAL standard definition televisions all the way up to the latest digital HD and Ultra HD displays so you always see your work with the correct color!

Gameplay Walk Throughs
High frame rate, deep color game recordings!
When you're ready to share your latest gameplay with friends, you can use Intensity Pro 4K to capture every heart pounding moment of the action. Today's advanced games provide immersive and beautifully rendered experiences because they run in full 1080 HD at 60 frames per second. Now, for the first time, you can capture full resolution, high frame rate, deep color gameplay video directly from your console or PC. You get amazing quality video recording where the graphics are crisp and the motion is fluid. That means you can create incredible walk through videos that look exactly like the original game, then post them online and share them with your friends!

Preserve Old Video Memories
Create digital archives from your old videotapes
Analog tapes like VHS, Hi-8 and even older broadcast formats like U-Matic that are getting very old and in danger of deteriorating. It's also becoming increasingly difficult to find working machines that can still play these old formats so it's important to make high quality digital archives that can be recorded to disk before the tape becomes unplayable. Intensity Pro 4K includes a broadcast quality time base corrector that helps stabilize video from poor quality tapes. You can even adjust the audio and video levels to create the best looking master possible. Files can be captured in uncompressed or compressed formats, preserving every detail from the original irreplaceable video!

Live Streaming
Send out the highest quality video live over the web!
Most consumer cameras heavily compress video so they can fit longer recordings onto the media. To stream video live over the internet, it's always better to start with the cleanest possible video. By connecting your camera directly into Intensity Pro 4K you can bypass the camera's internal compression. That means you're not decompressing from one format and recompressing into another so you get lower CPU load and much better image quality. Intensity Pro 4K is compatible with popular video streaming software like Flash Media Encoder, Wirecast, Livestream Procaster and more, so you can easily create high quality live or on-demand broadcasts for the web!
