Media Express 2

Hey Matt,

Thanks for that, i was not looking at the entire thread when I encountered the comments from Evang….

However, has anyone else had issues with the driver that came with this 7.3 release??? I installed it on my mac pro (I have two mac pros, one has a Decklink Extreme 2 HD and the other has only a Decklink Extreme HD (without the HDMI ports)

When I installed on both machines, the older of the two cards worked fine, whilst the newer one (with the HDMI ports) sent scrambled output via my already connected S-video crt. Does this update alter the output ports? Any help on this would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Ben

i Nick-

I just wanted to get some clarification about the 2K to 1920 feature request.
Are you wanting us to simply crop the 2048×1556 to 1920×1080 or actually scale to 1920? If it is simply crop, that is something we could do fairly easily in a future update.

Thanks,

Hi matt. A crop would work for a quick solution. I could use that for some stuff. But long term, scaling down to 1920 would be ideal. Also the output would have to be 4:2:2.

Thanks for listening.

One other thing that I have noticed. On my early 2008 Mac pro, The application hang when i quit it. I have to force quit the application.

This is in 10.6 snow leopard.

Please, first unlock the resolution interface.
in this form is extremely difficult to fully test the program

Any support for the 1280×720 formats 23.976, 24, and 25p? For these formats for capture, playback, downconvert with Blackmagic?

Thanks,

One more thing for the fix list.

Did a 1080i w/ 12 chan audio capture from Sony SRW-5500… no problem.

When writing the clip back to tape, only the first 8 audio channels go into insert edit when all 12 are selected. The audio for 9-12 did play out but I had to run out to the deck and manually turn on the edit enables.

Hi Ben,

This sounds like an issue we discovered yesterday – we posted a 7.3.1 update on the support page that should address this.

Please keep us posted if the update fixes your issue.

Hi Leo –

We currently do not have any plans to support these formats. What equipment would you be using that supports these rates?

Hello Matt,

JVC H100/200 Series, Panasonic Varicam. I can’t udnerstand why these are not supported frame rates and resolutions? AJA supports all of these so I will have to go to an AJA card instead of Blakcmagic so that I can work with these formats.

AJA XENA LHI and LHE Support all these

Hi Don –

Thanks for the heads up! We should be able to clean that one up pretty quickly.
