Capturing ProRes 422 with Black Magic Decklink HD

[Jerry Hofmann]

Since nobody answered for a couple of days, I’ll post a thought…

Are there or is there a control panel or app which sets up the decklink? Check that for sure… sounds like a deckling problem so might also reinstall it’s drivers.

There is a decklink panel in system preferences, but it doesn’t address codecs, its for up and down conversion settings.

Re-installed already. I’m beginning to think it just might be a decklink limitation. While their cards are solid they have zero customer support and they seem to make curious choices in what codecs / frame rates they choose to support.

Could be right Herb… it’s why I use AJA products.. tons of customer service.

I’d get the good folks at Black Magic Design on the phone…

Better than that I got someone on the Cow’s BM forum who suggested where I might tweak a setting and it worked! Bessie to the rescue again!

I have the same problem. What did you do to “Tweak the settings”.
We have a customer that only wants ProRes 422 “SQ” not “HQ”

With Blackmagic, it’s doesn’t have that option….regretfully, we sold our KonaCard.

may be a little late, but go into your capture presets, click on the prores HQ setting, duplicate it, then edit it…change the codec to 422, and rename it….
