HD monitoring with a DecklinkSP

Hmmm,

Didn’t mean to call you guys on the carpet, I was misinformed, sorry. I will try my DLSP with some HD files and report back.

Matt,

I am getting a signal to my SD monitor on my DL setup. It’s kinda screwy, it’s hooked up to an old Beta machine, which works for capture and that’s about it. But the system works in uncompressed 8 and 10 bit and in a 720p project it does send a signal to the monitor it’s just not entirely normal. It appears full screen when paused and plays in a half size window in real time when playing.

My DL settings are input yrb analog and output Y (composite) to the composite in on my monitor. It’s a JVC 17″ with no 16×9 setting, so the full image is squished.

BTW this system is a G4 dual 1.42 with 2 gigs of RAM running Tiger 10.4.8, FCP 4.5 and DL 4.8.1r2 drivers. Back when I had this card and machine were my main system, I treid putting in the 5.0 drivers but it would not work right.

So it would seem BM has a leg to stand on, but maybe just one. Personally I’ve followed advice above and got a Kona LH last year, couldn’t be more pleased.
