    I’m at the end of my rope on this issue, I have tried everything I can think of to try – hoping some FCP genius here will make me look bad and solve it like its nothing! Please! Somebody! Make me look bad! 🙂

    I have a Mac Pro setup running dual monitors and FCP6…

    Mac Pro Dual-Core Intel Xeon 2.66 GHz 4GbRAM

    With a BlackMagic Decklink SP card installed…

    I’m trying to use the “Analog Video Output” of the card to display a third monitor. The monitor I’m attempting to use is…

    JVC DT-V100CG Multi-Format Monitor

    We get beautiful signal through the same monitor from the camera while shooting, but for some reason I can’t get a signal into it from the Decklink card. OSX shows that a third monitor labeled “Television” exists, but the monitor only continues to flash…

    Out of Sync
    UNDER
    COLOR
    MARKER OFF

    I have tried so many different settings in FCP I can barely even remember what I have tried and what I haven’t. Any suggestions welcome!

    TIA
