Blackmagic Intensity Pro 4K on Linux
Liam Dawe Nov 25, 2016
I am wondering if anyone has experience with the Blackmagic Intensity Pro 4K on Linux?

I am looking at getting one so that I have no overhead when recording videos and livestreaming, since I seem to be doing both more and more often.

I think a capture card is going to be a good investment.

It claims to have full Linux support.

Oooh, I like that! I have no experience with this company's products at all, but I immediately want to buy one just to see how it works. ;-)

You still have to have your computer do the actual encoding, though, right?

QuoteStreaming
Intensity Pro 4K is fully compatible with popular video and audio streaming software so you can get your live stream to thousands, even millions of online viewers! On Mac, stream live video with Flash Media Live Encoder, Wirecast and Livestream Procaster. When streaming on Windows, you get compatibility with Flash Media Encoder, XSplit Broadcaster, Wirecast and Livestream Procaster. Stream high quality video of live events, webcasts, educational seminars, presentations, concerts and more!

So I assume on Linux it *might* work with OBS? So I don't understand what overhead this will nullify. Unless you're using a different computer to do the encoding. Doesn't the NVENC encoder take care of that?

But I don't know squat about all this stuff, so please correct me if I'm missing something.

i am still using just SimpleScreenRecorder with nvenc
theres small performance loss though, its mostly just few frames per second (depends what game), but it often makes the video output stutter, like it doesnt run smooth, thats when the game framerate and recording framerate have bigger difference, when they match up it comes out pretty smooth.
