Live Cam - capture cards
I've been using a camlink usb dongle to bring live video into HeavyM for a while now. It works fine but I think I'm pushing the limits of this device. I have got a hold of a blackmagic intensity extreme box. It appears to work and is recognised by the computer. However, it does not show up as a device in the live cam input as the old camlink did. The intensity extreme is connected via thunderbolt.
Has anyone else had issues of this type or can you suggest possible solutions?

Older Blackmagic devices don't interact with the system as though they are standard cameras or video capture devices. If you're on mac there's a piece of freeware called Blacksyphon that will let you connect it via Syphon which i've used successfully in the past to input video into Lumen and CoGe which were the first stages of video processing in my setup before Apple so nicely killed off Quartz composer and broke everything, and should in theory work fine with HeavyM as that supports Syphon. I would try that and get back to you, but Apple also broke support for my USB based Blackmagic Intensity because we can't have nice things apparently, but as far as I'm aware the thunderbolt one does still work.
