Installing Blackmagic DeckLink software
1. When the Windows XP™ desktop loads, the Windows hardware
wizard will automatically appear. Click on “cancel.”
2. The CD supplied with the DeckLink card contains the Blackmagic
installer. In order to ensure that you have the very latest driver please
visit www.blackmagic-design.com and click on the support page.
Note: Should the installer on the website be a newer version than
the one on your installer CD, download and save the zip file for future
installations.
3. Go to the location of the downloaded installer and double click the self
extracting zip file.
4. Now double click on the DeckLink Installer. All DeckLink cards use the
same installer.
5. The drivers will now be installed on your system. A warning will appear
that “this software has not passed logo certification to run on Windows
XP.” Click “continue” and ignore this warning.
7. You will see a dialog bubble saying “found new hardware”, and the
hardware wizard will appear. Select “install automatically” and the
system will find the required DeckLink drivers. You will then receive
another dialog bubble saying “your new hardware is ready for use.”
6. Now restart your machine to enable the new software drivers.
Note:
Keep the installer handy, as it has the added feature of being able to
“repair” or ‘‘remove” the driver if required.
