I am not clear how a data stream of 1.485 Gbps can be reduced to something far less than that, in order to allow a notebook drive to capture it, without some form of compression. It just does not make sense that HD-SDI and HDMI use a data stream of 1.485 Gbps and the Intensity card can reduce that stream without losing information or compressing. Can somebody please explain?

ok, that also answers my next question if the Blackmagic card can someone fix this data stream speed problem.
