  • DVI out dead on MBE

    Posted by Kaspar Kallas on November 6, 2007 at 6:43 pm

    Hi

    I have MBE and it works FCPs 2.0 in 10.4.10 with 6.2 later installs will kill the DVI out – I get extended desktop on the DVI but no output when monitoring FCP timeline

    on my Intel Box I have not yet found working version?

    is my MBE dead or is this common problem?

    Thank You
    -Kaspar

    Hi Kaspar,

    If the DVI output is working in the Finder and not in Final Cut Pro, then it’s most likely a configuration issue.

    What about the other outputs? How are they behaving?

    regards

    Also, what happens when you play something out from Blackmagic Deck Control? Is the DVI output working from that application?

    regards

    Hi

    the same problem from BMD deck control

    all other outputs work just fine (well have not tested SDI)
    it seems that desktop out is different path than video output because in desktop out the downcorverter dosent work.

    I dunno if this is any help but I had similar problem with the MBX on a windows system – it was OK prior to a firmware upgrade and then it went funky. Since the latest firmware update it all been good. So either there was a rouge firmware version OR the last update you did went a little wrong but I don’t know how you can force a firmware upgrade so maybe Kristian can help you there.
