  • Capturing BetaSP with BlackMagic Decklink Extreme HD

    Posted by Brett Deacon on January 30, 2009 at 1:46 am

    I have am running FInal Cut Pro 6.05. I have a BetaSP deck (standard) connected to a Blackmagic Extreme HD card. I have the easy set-up at uncompressed 8-bit, NTSC standard. I can control the deck AND receive audio, but for some reason cannot capture any video (a monitor confirms that video is in fact playing. The deck is connected to a blackburst generator for reference. The error message I get is the video is insufficient size.

    I have checked the component cables (using two different sets that had been proven to have worked in the past).

    Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    What happens when you run the tape and do Capture Now (no In/Out points)?

    What model is the deck?
    What is the monitor connected to?
    Are you getting a preview in the capture window but no image on capture?
    Have you checked the component cable by feeding the deck into a monitor?
    Is the Decklink control panel set for component? (those connections double for composite and s-video)

    It’s a sony 1800

    The monitor is connected to the composite output on the deck.

    I have not checked the component cables, but I have used two of them that have worked in the past.

    The decklink control is set for component.
