Installing Blackmagic DeckLink software
1. 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 le for future
installations.
2. If you wish to uninstall existing DeckLink drivers before installing a new
version, open the “Blackmagic Installer” disk and scroll down to folder
named Installer Files. Open this folder and you will nd the Uninstall
Blackmagic utility. Run this utility and you will require an Administrator
password before it will allow you to uninstall the old drivers.
3. Go to the location of the downloaded installer and double click the zip
le which will then expand. Double click on the resulting “DeckLink_
Macintosh.dmg” le and the “Blackmagic Installer” disk will mount on
your desktop.
4. Open the “Blackmagic Installer” disk and double-click on the
“Blackmagic Installer” application. You will require an Administrator
password before it will allow you to install the new drivers. All DeckLink
cards use the same installer.
5. Click “Continue”, “Agree” and “Install” buttons and the drivers will be
installed on your system.
6. Now restart your machine to enable the new software drivers.
Note: Keep the installer available as you may need to reinstall the drivers after
having installed or updated Final Cut Pro™ or QuickTime™.
