  • Capture from DecLink Duo SDI

    Posted by Kyler Boudreau on January 24, 2011 at 4:07 pm

    I just installed a Declink Duo card and have it connected via SDI to an EX3. I cannot get any deck settings to work in FCP. It keeps saying it cannot find the deck.

    Has anyone capture HD source over SDI from a Black Magick Declink card? THANKS.

    The EX3 is a CAMERA, not a DECK. For DECK control, you’d need to connect that RS-422 cable to the deck. But the camera is tapeless too. SO what you need to do is turn Deck Control UNCONTROLLED DEVICE.

    But why are you doing this? There is a tapeless workflow that doesn’t involve capture cards. if the footage is shot, then doing the Sony XDCAM Transfer utility, or using FCP to transfer, is lossless.

    Yeah you’re right – I didn’t give you all of the details. What I’m really trying to do is send an SDI signal to Wirecast for live broadcasting, and wasn’t getting audio. So I was in FCP trying to capture to see if FCP would see the audio….and hit the other wall.

    For anyone dealing with audio weirdness, the current (newest) version of Wirecast seems to have an issue with audio via SDI.

    For troubleshooting your audio in OSX, the little mapper tool below rocks.
