FCS2, BMD 6.2 – No realtime video output 720p25/60 10 bit
-
whew. all sorted.
i kept bashing around through Final Cut Pro settings, including having a bit of a squiz at the BlackMagic Enabler file, and started to get an idea that the issue was revolving around the realtime capabilities of the system and what the Final Cut Pro thought the system was capable of.
This lead me to go for a wander and have a look at the Effects Handling tab.
Final Cut Pro menu -> System Settings -> Effect Handlingit was here that I noticed that Final Cut Pro was claiming responsibility for handling all effects, including all of the Uncompressed Codecs that I was using. I looked for a BlackMagic option but there was none listed, so as a punt, i chose the “None” option. jumped back into my timeline and hit play and “voila” my playback is working again.
Yes, this will probably mean that I will not get realtime colour grading in 720p25 but I dont think I ever did, and we will now be doing all of our grading in Color, so it is not really an issue.
Noice.

Glad you fixed it of sorts..
I’m going to put the raid on another older 5.1.4 system and take it from there.
-
Reverted back to 5.1.4 and Blackmagic 6.1 and we can do 2 streams of 720P60 again with no drive to slow error msg window popping up. Pops up with 3 trks but thats expected I suppose.
So whats changed?
-
I reverted back to 5.04 and 6.1 drivers as well.
Apparently the easy setups (some like ntsc uncompressed) are corrupted and thats why embedded audio isn’t working at the moment.
-
Right.. reverted back to internal osx drive with FCS2 and BM6.2
…and… it now plays 2 streams in the timeline!!! arghh… to hit n miss to solve 😕

On the Capture side, I dont’ think this is a blackmagic issue. Apparently, if you want to capture to ProRes, you have to have a MacPro. This was mentioned in the FCP forum, but not here. here’s the page from apple: https://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305582.
All of you guys having issues with playback, are you all on ProRes? I’m having trouble following all the posts. -
As the Title
No realtime video output 720p25/60 10 bitThis is a was working/ now busted issue not a prores one.

I can play 720P/60 just fine, but I’m on a G5 Quad with the multibridge extreme.

Hi there,
same with me: I have just tested capturing 8-bit uncompressed video with my decklink HD extreme – and there is no audio!Playback is fine again after dropping frames severely. I uninstalled decklink software and re-installed it. Now playback 8-bit sd-video works fine, but no audio with clips captured over decklink (sdi video+audio) with BM 8-bit uncompressed codec
Have you also noticed, that it is not possible to capture more than 2 audio channels? I thought that was history in the last version.
I have switched from FCP 5.1.4 on a Mac Pro 2.66 Quad and with Decklink HD Extreme.
What is wrong? I hope this will be fixed soon.

I’m running an Intel MacPro 3GHZ, 5GB RAM, off a 140mbps RAID to do Uncompressed SD. I’ve been having similar problems with my Multibridge…only I started having problems BEFORE final cut 6. I upgraded to the 6.2 drivers before getting FCS2 in the mail. The first thing I noticed was dropped frames when playing back rendered BM 10bit or 8bit timelines (whether I had external video on or off). Annoying! So I figured that maybe it had something to do with installing BM 6.2 before FCS2. So, I uninstalled 6.2 and re-installed 6.1, then final cut just crashed everytime I tried playing back a 8 or 10 bit sequence.
Later, after installing FCS2 and re-installing 6.2 drivers, guess what: final cut still crashes on playback of 8 and 10 bit.
So I was glad to find the post above: finally an answer!
Nope.
After changing the effects handling for 8 and 10 bit to “None” it still didn’t end my final cut crashes.
Any other suggestions anyone?
Is it possible that the rumored Decklink 2GB barrier bug has infiltrated all the 6.2 drivers?
