    any reason why this would be so? whether i capture from my Beta deck in either the native DV-NTSC codec or the Blackmagic NTSC-DV codec, the results are the same. also, the display on my video monitor comes and goes. if i pop a tape into the deck (which then shows up on the monitor), and pop it back out, i will then again have a picture from my timeline. but later, i will have no picture again…until i pop a tape in and back out of my deck. any ideas?

    thanks for helping out a bonehead,

    Sounds like you are monitoring through your deck. Set the front panel to E-E and see if that fixes the monitoring problem. If not try monitoring off the decklink.

    As for the darkness? Connect your monitor to your deck and play the tape…picture ok? If not look for …double termination (splitting the output to two places), bad or loose wires (swap some others), proc amp settings on the deck (put them in preset).

    If the picture off the deck is OK hook your monitor up to the decklink output and look at the picture. If it is dark check for bad wires from the deck to the decklink, proc amp settings in decklink, loose multipin connection to the board.
