  Why won’t my Decklink card play out SD sequences?

  Posted by Mel Matsuoka on February 2, 2015 at 8:42 pm

  Is there some sort of magical secret sauce that will allow me to play back SD 720x480i 29.97 Premiere Pro sequences out to my HDMI client monitor through my Decklink Extreme 4k?

  SD playback works fine though the SDI connectors (which I’m using to feed an external Blackmagic Ultrascope), but no permutation of settings in either Premiere or the Desktop Video prefpane will allow me to monitor these SD sequences on my HDMI-connected client monitor.

  The only workaround is to nest the SD sequence into an HD sequence, and monitor using standard HD output settings. But needless to say, this is a crappy workaround.

  I’m assuming this is related to my previous gripes about Premiere/Decklink not being able to play 4K-HD sequences out through a 1080p monitor output (I’m also assuming that both Adobe and Blackmagic are still pointing the fingers at each other regarding this issue).
