  Decklink PrePro 5.2.2 driver capture bug

  Posted by Adrian Tecson on November 22, 2005 at 8:11 am

  I just discovered a bug with the decklink 5.2.2 windows drivers. When I try to digitize either from SDI or analog component to my edit station that had the 5.2.2 drivers, the video comes in slightly shifted to the right. But when I tried to digitize it using my other station with the 5.2.1 drivers, the video comes in properly registered. My suspicions were confirmed when I rolled back the driver of the other station to 5.2.1 and everything was fine again. I was wondering if anyone ran into this probem as well?
  Here’s a link to what the video looks like;

  My station specs are as follows;

  Motherboard: Supermicro X6DA8-G
  Processor: Dual Xeon 2.8
  Video Card: Ati radeon X300 PCI Express
  RAM: 2gigs
  Decklink Extreme PCI
  WinXP SP2

  Hi Claus-Peter,
  Not composite, but both component and SD-SDI. I wonder if it has something to do with my video card(ATI), although that is quite far fetched. Any other ideas?

  Hi Adrian,

  If you are using genlock, please verify that the genlock format matches the format of the video you are attempting to capture. Make sure the deck is set to use external reference (or Auto if this is not available) and that the genlock cable has also been connected to the DeckLink card.

  If you are not using genlock, then make sure the deck is set to use internal reference (or Auto if this is not available) and that genlock is not connected to the DeckLink card. Then open your DeckLink control panel and set “Black video output to deck in capture” setting to SDI or analog depending upon whether you connect to the deck via SDI or analog respectively.

  Finally, if that still does not help, try using Blackmagic Deck Control to capture video from the deck and then try outputting it back to the deck. Does that work without problems or does Blackmagic Deck Control suffer from the same problem?

  Please let me know how you go.

  Regards,
