Decklink HD Pro Dual Setup: RGB out Analog Monitor is very green – Why?
I have the following Setup:
Dual G5 1.8MHZ, 6.5GB RAM (8 slots)
Dual Channel HD Pro card in Slot 4 (133mhz)
FCP HD 5.0.3
Sony 14″ PVM-14N6U Broadcast Monitor
Dual 22″ Cinema LCDs.I just got this card, I am working mostly in TV resolution right now, so I hooked it up to my Component analog monitor up for the first time. I put the I started a test project, grabbed some NTSC video, and threw it out to the BlackMagic Deck on the NTSC 10 or 8 bit bit settings I get a picture, but its very green. My monitor will either take external sync or sync on green, whih it currently is. (external video set to NTSC RGB, I get nothing, black screen)
This green look also occures in the extended Desktop.Any ideas what Im doing wrong?
Thanks

Thanks anyway!!

Finally, when using a multiformat monitor with component analog video input, it is necessary to use the monitor’s menu system to switch between:
