  Decklink Pro Pal component levels too low?!?

  Posted by Jan Schulz on October 23, 2006 at 8:05 pm

  Hi,

  my Decklink Pro ouptuts too low analog levels. 100 % White in FCP generate about 85% on the component WFM. SDI Levels are fine. If I output the same white to DigiBeta and then measure it through the component out of the DVW-M2000P I get the correct reading.

  Drivers are 5.7.2
  FCP is 5.1.2

  So whats the deal? And more importantly: What can I do to get rid of this annoyance??

  Thanks
  Jan

  Try to test your analog component cables from DL Pro first. Try also analog composite out. I am also chaising some weird things like you and find out that my patch cables has sometimes problems and this is nothing to do with DL cables.

  I get the same weird luma levels when going composite out.
  And there are no patch cables as i go directly from the breakout cable to the wfm.
  This is really strange and i couldn’t find anything on the net regarding this.
  Maybe the card itself is bad…
  Let me know if you find something out.
