HDMI RGB output

Posted by Guillem Ventura on September 14, 2011 at 9:19 pm

Hi,

Is there any Blackmagic card able to output RGB thru HDMI?

I already have an Extreme HD 2, but the HDMI output is YUV.
Not good for the DreamColor.

Is it the same for the Extreme 3D+?
What about the Ultrastudio?

Thanks!!

Yes, same with the Extreme.
That keeps the market for the HDlink alive.

Thanks Sascha

lol…
It’s somehow ridiculous, taking the internal RGB process to YUV then back to RGB…

Would the SDI to HDMI converted do the job? Now for 245€ it’s a bargain (HDLink is twice this price)

I think its just silly.
I shelled out the money for the 3D extreme just to find out the HDMI is unusable for a proper judgement screen.
SDI is so last decade.
The facility I am in is all HDMi based for multiple reasons.
Being limited to YUV422 from the cards output is just…meeh.
I wonder if it could actually be changed with a firmware upgrade.
That would be very nice.

THAT’S SO RIGHT!
Sorry I yelled…

I found a post on RGB capturing thru HDMI.

It could be implemented, it’s just a firmware/software decision. Up to Blackmagic.

To tell you the truth I’ve been a hardcore Aja fan for the last 6 years… I thought Decklink was already just-as-good but things like this (having to buy and HDLink when you already purchased a Decklink and the Resolve) are a steal…

Anyway, can I use the SDI-HDMI instead of the HDLink?

Hello,

So I would like to use this signal path for my Resolve setup. HDMI out of my Decklink 4K extreme, HDMI into an eeColor LUT box, HDMI into a final generation Samsung Plasma.

Black magic website says the HDMI out is 10-bit RGB in HD, 10-bit YUV in 4K. Does this matter if my calibrationist is shooting for Rec709?

Thank you.
