This software includes everything you need to set up your Multibridge for any task in your facility.
If you're using Multibridge in PCIe mode or you have a DeckLink card in your computer, then you only need to run this single installer.
If using a Mac Pro, it is recommended to use PCIe slot 4 for Multibridge capture cards.
The drivers install components in to applications including Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe Photoshop and Adobe After Effects. If you have installed the drivers prior to installing any of these applications, we recommend that you uninstall and reinstall the drivers. This will ensure that all relevant components are installed in their required locations.
To remove the Blackmagic software out of your system, simply run the "Uninstall Multibridge" utility which is included on the CD or disk image.
Plug in your Multibridge adapter card and connect the PCI Express connection to your computer before running the installer. When you restart after first connecting the DeckLink or Multibridge PCIe, Windows may show the Found New Hardware wizard for a Multimedia Device Controller — cancel this wizard. You can also run the installer without a DeckLink card or Multibridge PCIe plugged in to install the Blackmagic codecs so you can share video files with DeckLink users.
If you had a previous version of the Multibridge software installed, use the Add or Remove Programs Control Panel for Windows XP or use Programs and Features control panel in Windows Vista and Windows 7 to remove it before installing this version, and restart.
Double click the installer and follow the instructions that appear. See the Multibridge User Manual for more detailed instructions.
During the installation process, Windows might show three warning messages saying the driver has not been certified by Microsoft. In this case, select "Continue Anyway" so you complete installation of the software correctly.
All models of Multibridge operate as a stand alone bi-directional converter when not connected via PCIe. This installer contains the Multibridge Utility software, which allows you to configure any Multibridge connected to your computer's USB port.
