  • FCP not seeing HD Signal

    Posted by Harry3000 on February 17, 2006 at 7:22 pm

    Hi,

    I’m working with FCP 5.0.4 and a Blackmagic HD capture card, I am trying to capture footage from a Sony J-H3 deck, the footage was shot at 1080i at 29.97 (59.94). FCP, when set to capture at 1080i 59.94 10bit does not get a signal from the deck and says that is cannot locate the deck. The J-H3 is set to playback at 29.97. I can, however, see a SD downconvert signal from the deck and capture the footage at NTSC SD but I need HD resolution for the project I’m workin on.

    Many thanks.

    Hi,

    Please check which slot your card is inserted into. If it is slot 2 (or 3) of your G5, then ensure that you don’t have another slower card in slot 3 (or 3) as these 2 slots share a common bus which slows down to the match the speed of the slower card.

    regards

    some of my customers had problems with hd formats after updating to 10.4.4. ( i recommend for the moment staying on 10.4.3 – dont fix what aint broke… )
    Solution was with diskutility : repair permissions and reinstalling the decklinkdrivers.
