  Decklink SP/Mac Pro/After Effects/HD=realtime?

  Posted by Jimmy Brunger on October 31, 2008 at 4:02 pm

  Have been doing a bit of digging since plugging our SONY broadcast monitor into a Mac with a Decklink SP card and AE has stopped previewing in realtime…is there any way to make this work?
  When I disable Decklink video preview in AE prefs all is fine..switch it on and it previews at a crawl!

  I appreciate the SP is not a HD capable card, but I only want to check my work in an SD monitor as it is for terrestrial broadcast. As the SP card has a downconvert option I figured this should work…

  If we invested in a HD Extreme card (probably going to soon anyway for HD capture, etc) can I preview HD in realtime when downconverted to an SD monitor output?

  Thanks,
  Jim.
