    I am using a Multibridge extreme in a quad G5 with Betacam & HDV decks. I would like to see the DVI output on my 42″ plasma monitor. This does not work at all in HD so far but right now my main concern is getting it to work in standard def (BM 10 bit easy setup). The video does appear but it is drastically squeezed horizontally. I see that there are DVI output settings for standard definition scaling but they are greyed out. The plasma always says that it is getting a 1080i signaI, except when I enable EDID override which resuts in a screen full of static in all but the first selection. I know that the DVI output was designed more for LCD displays but I would really like to get this to work.

    Hi, I am just installing a Multibridge Extreme on a Quad G5 today and am trying to feed my Sceptre X37 from the DVI output. This is a 1920 x 1080 37 inch LCD monitor. I can’t seem to get any picture at all. The monitor just says ‘No Signal’, but I’ve tweeked all the settings in the software (I’m running 5.2.3 as the 5.4 was pulled back off the decklink.com site while they fix a problem with it. Still, I didn’t see anything about 5.2.3 not being able to display DVI output so this should work. Surely a monitor that does a normal, standard HDTV resolution like 1920×1080 should be supported? And right now, while just wanting to get any image to work at themoment, will want to run anamorphic SD content more often than not, scaled up to this HD monitor as I still do a lot more SD work than HD.
