2k Monitoring in FCP/Blackmagic
Posted by Gerry Curtis on November 4, 2011 at 11:41 pmHello,
I’d like to monitor a 2k sequence on my FSI monitor via a Decklink HD Extreme 3D card but have been unable to get this to work in FCP. This is possible in Color and Resolve so isn’t there a way to cross convert in FCP?
Thanks!
Gerry

Up to the BM website, your card manage 2K.
You should be able to monitor that at 1080.
I don’t know that card, but you should have a 2K option in FCs View menu > Video Playback.

seriously?
That’s one reason why AJA is better.

November 8, 2011 at 6:39 pmI’m working with Resolve so AJA isn’t an option.
I don’t want to turn this into an AJA vs. BlackMagic thread but I have to say I’be had a lot of positive experiences with BM support & am quite pleased with them. It would be nice if their manuals were more detailed, though.
Cheers,
Gerry

yeah I don’t like starting vs either.
Just had some good and odd support from them over the years.
Davinci is in good hands though.
