  • Getting Snow on a Decklink HD Extreme

    Posted by Derrick on December 21, 2007 at 7:55 am

    Hi all,

    Some help would be greatly appreciated.

    I built me a new PC, and also added a Decklink HD Extreme.

    The card installed succesfully, and I have the presets in Premiere Pro CS3, and the Display settings shows the 2nd monitor as a Decklink Display.

    I have a 17″ Panasonic Broadcast LCD coming, but that is gonna be another week or two before it arrives.

    So I plugged in a cable right next to the breakout cable to the TV Video in. (the first of the three)

    ALL I get on the TV is snow.

    Could someone please tell me what I am doing wrong (I’m sure I am).

    Thanks, I appreciate it!

    an SDI signal plugged into an analog input of a TV appears as snow.

    Thanks, bob.

    I went and bought the Panasonic 17″ LCD Broadcast monitor, and now everything is working great.

    The ONLY thing is in After effects, if I create a text layer the text looks half res, but I set the window to High Quality?

    Could you perphaps please tell me what setting I’m looking for, I’ve tried a few.

    thanks for your time!
