  • A/V out limited to 720×486 SD ????

    Posted by Dennis Dillon on March 31, 2013 at 2:28 pm

    Advice needed.
    FCP X latest Ver, with Black Magic Ultra Studio 3D. In FCP I only get one choice for Video out. 720×486 SD. I uninstalled my previous BM software and updated it with latest.

    I also have FCP 7, which correctly lists the BM choices.
    Any thoughts?

    Hey Dennis,

    We’re having the same problem at Promiflash in Berlin using the BM mini Monitor. From one day to the next FCPX only output NTSC SD. We have it routed to several monitors (we Pimped our Edit Suite) on the TVs the image shows up in HD quality, but our main viewer monitor looks like crap now. When we change it back in the BM software FCPX recognizes the HD setting but stops outputting. Pro Tools also stopped. Image snippets pop up once in a while when recording, but otherwise it’s black.

    I won’t be able to get to it until Wednesday. I’ll let you know if we figure it out.

    I have the Intensity Extreme for my MBP and Decklink Studio for Mac Pro and I have to go to the BMD settings in systems preferences to change the correct output for FCPX.

    That’s what we’ve done, doesn’t work. I’m not at Promiflash until Wednesday, perhaps the other editor isn’t following my instructions correctly, but I doubt that.
    Could it have something to do with corrupted preferences?

    Do it again, reboot the machine.

    After updating FCP I found the BM Pref Panel kept forgetting to stay in 1080. I then updated the BM drivers to Desktop Video 9.7 and haven’t had the problem since.

    That could be it. Thanks for the tip.

    I’m revisiting this old thread as I had the same issue this week. Going into the BM settings (under System Preferences) fixed the issue once i rebooted FCP X. Why FCPX doesn’t give you the option to choose different settings I don’t understood.

    My question is–are all of you basically going back and forth between different frame rates depending on your projects (1080p 29.97, 1080p 23.98, etc)? Or are you just defaulting it at 1080p 29.97?
