  • Can’t get Offline resolution to playback

    Posted by Bryan Hargrave on May 1, 2007 at 1:01 am

    This is the 1st time using the offline resolution. My client digitized it that way. They’re working in Kona so I’ve seen the offline resolution play correctly. I’m using my Blackmagic 8 bit NTSC for video playback. What I end up with is it stretching top and bottom but no stretching from the sides. Everyone skinny then. I have tried everything. I know its got to be something stupid but its driving me crazy!!!

    Thanks,

    Hi,

    What easy setup have you chosen to configure your project with?

    I have a custom setup. Capture is set at offline res. But playback is set for blackmagic 8 bit. I did try changing my easy setup to offline rt ntsc, but that gives me video playback thru firewire. I’m trying to get the offline res to playback full screen thru the blackmagic card. The Blackmagic offline RT easy setup doesn’t have video playback, it turns it to none.

    At this point I’ve tried all these easy setups.
    BM NTSC-8BIT – seems to work the best but picture stretched top and bottom.
    BM NTSC-10BIT – same as 8bit but hue color 180 degrees off
    BM NTSC-offline – doesn’t have video output
    BM NTSC-JPEG – same as 8bit
    OFFLINE RT – video output thru firewire not the card

    Is there a problem with offline res playback on Decklink Extreme??? If any uses the photo Jpeg codec at 320 x 240, i.e. offline res, for editing on a regular basis I’d love to hear from you. I’m working around this issue at the moment by not using my video monitor. I guess I could hook up my sony firewire converter (old faithfull). But I’d rather be running everything thru the Decklink Extreme. Anyways, shouldn’t it play thru just like DV does? DV is being constantly being resized to play out at 720 x 486 thru the card.
