  Control a AJ-SD930 deck via SDI and blackmagic HD

  Posted by Al on September 30, 2005 at 10:46 am

  Hello
  I just received, via UPS, my Decklink HD card, and I’m in the middle of the field, in a place where I can’t buy any connecting cables. I do have SDI cables, which I plugged in, but it seems I can’t control the deck via SDI… Is this the case? If I can’t get my hands on an RS422 cable, will I not be able to control the deck via Final Cut Pro or the deckling deck control?

  Thanks
  Alex

  Oh, and forgot to mention : since I plugged in the card and installed the decklink software, I don’t get an image into FCP via SDI, unless I’m fast-forwarding the deck…Which seems to mean there is a signal going through, but there is apparently some type of problem for the card to recognize it correctly…

  SDI is only audio/video. Control is 422 when you use SDI. 9pin serial calbes should work.
