Decklink SP External Monitor Problem
I just purchased a 14″ Sony Trinitron Monitor to use with Final Cut Pro. I also have the Decklink SP capture card. I am taking the component video outs from the card and going straight into the monitor. I have the Video Playback settings set to “Blackmagic NTSC – DV (720×480)” but I am getting nothing on the monitor. Does anyone know if this problem is on Final Cuts end, and if so, how do I resolve it?

Assuming you have a Beta SP deck, on the back you’ll see a multipin (12, I think) component output fixture, from which you can send a picture to your monitor.
Or, you can get a signal from the SDI out to your monitor via one of those little AJA convertors, or put an SDI card in your monitor if it will take one.

I have the decklink extreme and I’m using the component cables to my TV.
1-In the system preferences, (not in fcp) under Blackmagic Decklink, I have output set to Analog Y, B-Y, R-Y.
2-In FCP, under the View menu, under Video Playback, I have it set to Blackmagic NTSC – 8 Bit (720×486).
3-Also under the View menu, under external video, set it to All Frames.
4-Also under the view menu, under Audio Playback, set it to Audio Follows Video. Be sure to monitor the audio on the blackmagic audio outs (not the system out) or it will appear to NOT be in sync with the picture. (I can expound on that if you need it)I have found that occasionally the decklink will display a green screen to the TV and I have to go to the system prefs (not in fcp) to the Blackmagic Decklink and change some settings, then put them back. Works every time.
Hope this helps,
Gary
