    Hi all
    when capturing from a digi beta there are 4 audio channels mixed in with the video. With the Decklink series of cards they support 8 channel. when i capture useing decklink asio drivers i get the 4 channels but there seem to be no way to separate or iso any of them.. Suppose ch1 was vo. ch2efx ch3and4 were music stereo. U have to use 5.1 capture mode but there is no pan or front to back adjustments. Any help would be great. thanks in advance
    regards

    hi,

    I have the same problem (xp & prempro) and posted it here about two months ago – but no replies…guess we have to wait for new drivers. my workaround: batch-capture channel 3+4 via xlr (analog yuv-mode, audio only in prempro). how is this working with fcp 5 and the new drivers???

    cheerz, lemmur.

    hi lemmur
    It seems like A.nobody needs four channels or B.its not possible. Have you tried setting capture mode to 5.1? this captures the 4 channels but I havent found a way to either sepperate or pan or iso or do anything with it. Hopefully someone from black magic will respond. My cards only take embedded audio.
    regards

    hi,

    yes I captured also in 5.1, but didn’t find a way to separate the channels. played a lot with the routing, export, etc… no solution. we have a dl extreme, so the workaround via xlr is possible. maybe you can change the channel-routing at your player..?

    nobody else need that???
    that’s really strange, because we have a lot of projects with m+e tracks or 2 language tracks. so you always have to capture all 4 audio-channels and it would be really cool when we could handle that with a bm via sdi and prempro… still hoping.

    or do we have to buy a dongle…what was it named..yes, apple 🙂

    Hey Lemmur
    Let hope its not a dongle fix…. My work around now is any jobs that require the 4 ch capture are done on my bluefish system. Only draw back for me is that sys only has 600 gig storage and its on a slower computer. BUT they released some fantastic drivers not long ago.. ie. realtime efx!!!!
    so maybe its time to move some cards between computers.. If you come up with a way to resolve this let me know please and i will do likewise.
    regards

    Hi,

    I got the same problem, though I need channels 2 and 3 which makes it even a bit more complicated.

    I found a workaround with Premiere but it is quite complicated.

    Apply the channel / volume filter to the 5.1. audio track. There you can eliminate those channels you don
