Problem

2. Mark the Checkbox 'Open Live Device Settings on Start'.

Using BlackmagicDesign Capture Cards with Windows 7

1. Setup your Capture Card in Control Panel 'BlackmagicDesign Control Panel'.

2. Check-in Blackmagic Media Express if there is a signal.

3. If there is a signal in Black Magic Media Express, write down the exact figures eg. 1920 x 1080 x 50p

4. In the Stage Designer live media window, DO NOT use the Blackmagic WDM device, use the Decklink device: WDM->unknown, Decklink->Known with the exact figures you noted before.

5. Reduce latency: set Stage Designer / FXServer framerate 'Higher than capture card latency.
