HDV issues with XP and new 5.6 drivers
First off, my hat off to BlackMagic for finally making a good monitoring solution for HDV projects, but I’m having a few issues.
I have imported several HDV clips (shot with Sony Z1) into an 8bit 1080i (59.94) uncompressed blackmagic project. The clips layed on the timeline play back fine, although the red “needs rendering” line over the footage is kind of annoying. However, playback of clips in the source monitor freezes after a couple seconds and only the audio continues to play. Also clips played in the souce monitor aren’t monitored through the decklink card, only displayed within Premiere.
Has anyone else experienced this or have recommendations?
Thanks,

Seeing the exact same thing. It’s not entirely clear if you need a Decklink HD card or if it’s ok with a Decklink Extreme for example (which is the one I use). Anyway, I can start a BMD HD 50i project, import HDV clips and when pressing play, there’s audio and a freeze frame. I actually got the freeze frame in an old regular 10 bit SD project as well.
Back to 5.5.1…

Hi Stewart
I have not been able to replicate this extact issue. Please can you outline the extact process and the size/length and type of clips.
Additionally can you email your system specifications including motherboard make and model.
Also include the disk array configuration and any other information about your workflow that will help.Thank you.

Ok, here is the system config.
Dual 3ghz xeon on a supermicro x6dae-g2 mobo with 2gigs ram and a 8 drive sata Highpoint raid, using the DecklinkHD Pro (single link) card with a nvidia 7800GS display card. I had captured the entire project with the premiere 2.0 preset for HDV editing, and then imported the project into a decklink 1080i project. The clips are between two and twenty minutes long.
Hope this info helps.
Andrew, can you tell me, should we be seeing the render line over the hdv footage on the timeline? Should the source monitor, when played, have decklink monitoring?
Thanks,

In my case:
P4, 3.2 Ghz DualCore, 2Gb of ram, Asus P5WD2 Premium, 2 x 400 Gb SATA stripe, Decklink Xtreme with 5.6 drivers.
1. Start new Decklink HD 8 bit project
2. Import a HDV clip, either a naive PPro HDV clip or one capture with DVRack
3. Place it in the timeline and press play.Image is a freeze frame and the audio plays normally…

I have just gotten the playback to work from the source monitor, although it still doesn’t monitor out of the decklink, only on the desktop.
I disabled the “Desktop Preview Acceleration” in the project settings/playback settings of the project. Perhaps there is a compatability problem with the 7800GS video card?

Could that be it… hmm. I’m on the 7800GTX card – I’ll try it out.
