  HDV playback on HD Monitor

  Posted by Phil Giriodi on October 1, 2011 at 4:45 am

  MAC OS 10.5.8 Dual-Core Intel Xeon
  FCP 5.1.4
  Blackmagic Intensity Card (internal) for external monitor
  HVR-M10U Deck
  Sony HD Monitor-HDMI input.

  Problem: Timeline footage will not playback on external Sony HD monitor.

  1. Sony HVR-M1OU deck is recognized by the system. I can capture in HDV. I can also conform the timeline footage and record to the Sony deck in HDV.

  2. However, I am unable to see the footage from the timeline on my external Sony HD monitor. I need to be able to highlight “HDV (1440×1080)80i” in the Audio/Video Settings, however, it is grayed out.

  Your guidance will be most appreciated.
  Thank you.

  You will need to choose a 1080i Blackmagic setup.

  Under VIEW>VIDEO PLAYBACK, you need to choose that Blackmagic option…

  Steve & Shane,

  Thanks for your guidance. I was under the impression that I had attempted this previously, however, I might have overlooked it. I tried everything that I could think of and the 1440:1980 was still grayed out.

  I’ll give it another go after I complete my present SD project.

  Thanks again.

  Phil

  The card should be set to display 1920 x 1080i 8 bit for playing HDV timelines. There should be a Blackmagic 1080 HDV preset which in Easy Setup sets the output to this.
