Hi,

I bought the Decklink SP PCIe card last month, installed it and all was working fine. I could output video to my JVC monitor for FCP previews. I have also used Final cut Pro properly for the first time. After 10 minutes of colour correcting I rendered a preview and my whole system froze. It wasn't a blue screen or software crash but a freeze meaning I had to reboot.

This happens at the same point every time I use FCP, straight after a preview render.

I think this is a Blackmagic problem because it is mentioned in the panic log. Also, when I uninstall the Decklink drivers the system is fine.

Maybe someone who has the same problem can help me. I have sent a support ticket off to Decklink, but need a speedy solution.

thanks.
