Installing your Blackmagic Video Hardware
If your Blackmagic video hardware connects via Thunderbolt, go straight to the Thunderbolt section.
Thunderbolt ports are found on the latest Mac OS X and Windows computers.
If your Blackmagic video hardware connects via USB 3.0, go straight to the USB 3.0 section.
Blackmagic's USB 3.0 video products require a compatible Windows PC.
Installing a Blackmagic PCIe Card
Step 1.
Remove the power plug from your computer and ensure that you are statically discharged.
Step 2.
Insert your Blackmagic PCIe card into an appropriate slot in your computer and push it firmly into
place. If you have a DeckLink Optical Fiber card, the fiber optic module needs to be removed
prior to insertion.
Step 3.
If your Blackmagic PCIe card includes a HDMI bracket, insert the bracket into a spare slot. Secure
the PCIe card and HDMI bracket with screws and loop the HDMI cables around any other installed
cards and plug them into the rear of the DeckLink card.
Step 4.
Replace the cover of your computer and connect any supplied breakout cables. If you have a
DeckLink Optical Fiber card, reinsert the fiber optic module. Reconnect the power and start up
the computer.
Install a Blackmagic PCIe card in a spare slot. A HDMI bracket can
be installed in any spare port and connects to the rear of the card
with the supplied HDMI cables.
Connect the breakout cable if one is supplied with your
Blackmagic card. Some models also include a HDMI
bracket as pictured above.
