HDV, Windows and DecklinkHD
Hi
It seems like my DecklinkHD does not do anything for HDV editing. It won’t even monitor the output realtime other than for scrubbing? Is that right?
So I might as well just edit in HDV without the card unless I want to render every clip to Blackmagic’s codec?
Is this right?

Hi Shane,
That’s right – our current drivers do not output HDV via the card. We are looking at that right now (to output via the card) The HDV codec that is available via Premiere Pro does not allow us to capture HDV – however we believe that we can playback the HDV clips via the card in Premiere Pro without having to render to our codec – like what we do with DV.
Cheers,

Monitoring would be great. I can’t even monitor HDV in the computer vga window when I have a BM uncompressed job open.
I notice that one of the Cineform packages support the AJA card, but they said they were unable to support BM because of lack of memory on the card. Monitoring is really all I’m after.
Thanks

Hi Shane,
The statement from Cineform is incorrect. It has nothing to do with how much memory is on the card. Everything has to go via system memory anyway. Cineform can easily plug into our DirectShow filters(which are an industry standard) but they have chosen not to do the work to achieve this which is dissapointing. Unfortunately their application has been written with direct API access in mind which is really much harder and an older way of developing than just plugging into DirectShow.
Anyway – for what you want, just monitoring out – we are on it now.
Cheers,
Regards,
Matt
