FCP crashes when outputting to BM
hi,
i have a MacPro(3gigProcessor, 4 gig RAM) with FCS1 and multibridge pro and since this morning every file I import into FCP makes the program crash when I press play. My Video Playback settings are set to BM RGB. When I change these settings to Firewire everything is ok again…so I can’t use my video output through my decklink card anymore cause it makes FCP to crash! I installed the 6.2 drivers tonight but it makes no difference.
thank you

And now the MacPro won’t even start up anymore when my multibridge device is connected. When I pull out the power off my multibridge Pro, everything is ok…but now I can’t work with BM anymore, grrr ;o)

Do you have Black Magic Multibride or Black Magic Declink Extreme card?
If Declink Extreme, then they have a very serious bug which they promised to be fixed in 6.2 driver version, but it is still there in 6.2.
The bug is 2 GB RAM limit.
It means that if you want to work with FCP and BM Deck Link you must take out 2 GB of your memory and wait until they’ll fix this bug.
Good luck

hey,
I have a Multibridge Pro system, so… it will be another problem, thanks anyway.
The system preferences on my Macpro recognize the Multibridge, but I can’t get any video in or out via the multibridge. If I use firewire, then everything works perfectly, but I’d like to use the Multibridge of course ;o) -
Strange.
I also have the same mac as yours and the same card. But everything works fine form me and i even have 6 GB of RAM.
The only difference is that i work with 6.1 drivers.
Try to uninstal 6.2 and go back to 6.1. Maby it helps.

I have a multi-bridge and the same problems. I tried uninstalling the 6.2 drivers and going back to the 6.1 drivers, and it didn’t help. Maybe it has something to do with firmware?

hi,
after mailing with the people from BM, we concluded that the Multibridge hardware has to be replaced.
-
Like, take the PCIe card out and put it back in, or like buying a new Multibridge? Is BM willing to replace the unit free of charge?
-
well, they should replace the unit cause you do get a few years guarantee, so I guess it’s normal! They asked me the name of the reseller and they would arrange everything, but I didn’t get any response since tuesday, so I’m waiting… i’ll keep you posted
