Just started using SDI and this one worked great right out of the box. Used 4 of them in one day so far so good. Will update if any thing craters

I installed this I/F card in a high end digital audio workstation after disabling it's internal VIA based FW I/F. I decided to use the SIIG TI based interface after reading compatibility information from Focusrite (Saffire Pro 14). I am happy to report that the installation and integration with the Saffire PRO 14 went flawlessly. The interface together with the PRO 14 significantly outperform the similar USB type interface that I was using (M-Audio C400). I can now set my buffer sizes larger (1024 byte), and have less latency than I experienced with smaller (512 byte) buffer sizes on the C400. The DAW CPU utilization is lower, so now I have nearly unlimited polyphony using sample intensive soft synths with Ableton Live 8.

Have had this card installed in my computer for well over two months and running 24/7.  Takes up little or no CPU resources, or none that I'm aware of.  Worked right out of the box!  Easy installation and set-up.  Just make sure to check the card BEFORE you complain that it doesn't work and insure the #1 switch is in the up (on position)  Instructions, for a change, are in readable and understandable English... not Chinese/English (Chinglish)  Kudo's to VideoSecu for this one!

Worked perfectly out of the box(Green PCB). Im using this cable with a pre-built VM loaded with all BMW diagnostic software so I didn't have to fiddle with driver installation or DCAN.exe. Grab the VM here: [...]

UPDATE 9/3/2016: Keep adding components. So far, I have about 30 various switches, including dimmers, inline links and keypads, plus several leak sensors. Nest thermostats and pool control are interfaced via Raspberry Pi. The controller is still rock solid, running various programs with light scenes, climate and water features control. Not a single glitch in 1.5 years. I am very happy with this device.

UPDATE 9/1/2015: Few months passed by - the controller is still running great. I have about a dozen of Insteon light switches with different scenarios, I also interfaced the controller with my DSC home alarm system and Nest thermostats via Raspberry Pi. Completely satisfied with the system performance and reliability: works fast, not a single glitch over several months period, never had to reboot the controller except for the firmware updates.

ORIGINAL REVIEW: This controller is basically the same as ISY994i, except that it also supports zWave devices. Even though I don't have any of those at the moment, I decided to buy this model because I wanted extra flexibility for future upgrades and expansions.

As few people mentioned in ISY994i model reviews, this controller is not for someone unfamiliar with home automation. Although initial setup is pretty straightforward, it would give you only the basic functions (like remote lighting control) out of the box. But if you are technically savvy, familiar with programming logic and take time to figure out how to set up different scenes and program the controller, then the possibilities are abundant. So far, I have my outdoor and indoor lights controlled depending on the time of the day, weather, season, home security system state (armed/disarmed), it also controls Nest thermostats and turns them into away/home, on/off modes depending on home alarm state and windows opening. And this is just the beginning, my future plans include integrating the swimming pool controls, window shades and many more.

The controller is very reliable. I have it running for several months now and did not have a single problem with any parts of my home automation network, which includes Insteon devices and other integrated systems like home security or thermostats. The response time is fantastic, there is practically no delay between touching the control button on the wall or your smartphone and action from the controlled device.

The vendor support is outstanding. When I needed some troubleshooting during late evening installation, I got my questions answered within minutes. Universal Devices forum is also very useful - you can get expert level advice from the vendor and other enthusiasts.

Overall I am very happy with the purchase and looking forward to adding more parts to my home automation network.

Only thing I am not a fan of is how often the app doesn't connect to the ZOSI server.  Super easy to set up and worked out of the box :)

Updated - 6/4/18 - I have been working with the tech support and found out that one of my power supplies, the one that connects to the DVR was bad and not providing full power to the unit.  After replacing that and updating the firmware, the connection if much more stable.

Windows 10 recognized it right away and I was able to connect after one restart. No installation of software needed

The HDMI to SDI converter works perfectly. The indicator light shows when a valid HDMI signal is present and the dual SDI outputs provide redundancy if needed. The included mounting bracket makes this product very easy to install. Constructed with solid metal this is an excellent product that is very well designed and manufactured. 2 thumbs up for anyone wanting to convert HDMI to SDI for high quality video production!

I bought this card as an upgrade for my machine running Vista SP1. I'd heard Vista was funky with sound cards, but this worked right out of the box. The stand-alone box is on the large side, but comes with a bracket so it can stand upright. The sound quality is excellent, but be sure to change digital output to 96khz if your speakers support it since the default is 44. The remote control works as advertised, but since I'm sitting at my P.C. I don't think I'll use it much.

Fixed the whole issue with the interface without having to buy a whole new unit...  Came brand new and plugged right in

I was using this for my Raspberry Pi, and it works wonderfully right out of the box, even with Windows IOT Core, which is rather... touchy when it comes to bluetooth.  Also, I plugged it into my computer and rigged my PS3 controller to it, and it worked perfectly.  I highly recommend it!

Windows 10 detected it automagically.  Works great right out of the box.

Be sure to download the updater from Blackmagic's website, which will enable you to switch between SDI-B (default) and SDI-A, which is frequently the issue with other devices not reading the signal properly.

This is awesome. Right out of the box, I joined it to my Unifi console and upgraded the firmware. Once that was done, I logged into the console and changed the Lan2 to Wan2 for Dual Wan fail-over with no problem. I changed the subnet of the router and setup a site-to-site VPN to an older Cisco RV042G router with no issues. I did lose connection once and had to reboot the router, but that was not a problem with how easy the setup went.  Tested fail-over with success. The router takes 3 minutes to reboot.

This unit worked great to convert an HD-SDI signal from a studio camera to standard BNC composite video to use for a regular video monitor.  It also has a built-in HD-SDI splitter to continue the HD-SDI signal to a destination like a video switcher.  We used a Newtek TriCaster 860 system as the destination switcher for the HD-SDI signal and hooked the composite video signal to a DVR that was used as a multi-viewer.  A great solution at a low cost!

I love the Unifi Products, for the most part.  I already had my networks on my controller, so I plugged this in, adopted it, and had this up and running in less than 10 minutes.
