Intensity pro test signal component
Hi, I have a Intensity Pro in my Mac Pro and am trying to get a component monitor working. I have it all connected but cant get a picture. Tried Media Express but whatever I tried to import it said it was not sported. Whats the easiest way to get it to output a signal to component? Googeling did not come up trumps.
My output settings are HDMI & Component, PAL with output processing off.

Hey Ben,
If your output settings are set as you’ve mentioned, then all should be right. Of course you need some footage in Media Express to playback to the monitor.
The way our boards work is that all the outputs stream simultaneously. So if you get output from HDMI, you should also get it in component.
As for importing files, it’s important to remember that Media Express is not QT, you can’t just open anything in there. You need to use a supported codec at a supported framerate and resolution. So as an example you can use 1080i59.94 10bit Uncompressed. Or you can use 1080i59.94 ProRes (if you have FCP installed). But you cannot open an MPEG2 file in Media Express.
Once you get the right type of file i’m sure you’ll find it will open up and play nicely.
