    G5 Quad, 6Gb Ram, OS 10.4.3, FCP 5.04, DSR-40 Component out into BMD Decklink 5.4 drivers…

    Chroma is hot using component inputs. Clips captured this way need about 50% reduction in chroma levels… not good. The images look fine using Firewire input, but we need to use component video inputs and BMD 8Bit or 10 Bit for better keys and color correction… Anyone else getting this symptom?

    I have the same problem here on a old Decklink Extreme SD card: The Luma level is way too low, and chroma way too hot.

    I have to use the proc amp – luma slider to the max and chroma slider to the min to get the component in levels better – it’s almost right but not quite there. SDI capture on the same card is perfect. Component out and SDI out is perfect. PAL – not NTSC.

    Regards
