  Black aound my clips. Blanking error?

  My SYSTEM

  MAC dual G5 2.5 gig. 6.5 gb RAM.
  Apple 23″ display / Samsung 17″ LCD / Sony 1944Q Production monitor
  Blackmagic Decklink Extreme card v5.2.4
  OSX Tiger w/10.4.3 upgrade
  FCP 5 w/ 5.0.4 upgrade = production Suite
  1 300gig scratch disc
  500GB G-Raid Firewire800
  Decks = Beta-SP, DVCpro, DigiBeta.
  Audio Mix = Mackie 1604 VLZpro
  I believe I have the stock display card
  Panasonic AJD-230H DVCpro deck

  I had posted this before but I think I can explain it better now.
  I have recently upgraded to FCP5 from 4.5. I just happened to notice a thick black bar on the left edge, a thinner black line at the top edge and right edge of my clips. The bottom is fine.
  I can see in in the capture window before I even take in the clip. This was not there before. I brought in an old project from 4.5 and the edges were fine, yet my new clips brought in with FCP5 has black edging. I cannot find anywhere to check for a blanking error. Anyone know why?

  What are the proper setting with my Decklink extreme?
  720×480 or 720×486. The decklink playback does not have a
  720×480 setting. I am puzzled.
  Thanks in advance
  ED
