  • No 1080i with component cables?

    Posted by Russell Fincher on January 23, 2010 at 6:58 pm

    Trying to capture 1080 resolution out of a Playstation 3 using component cables (Y,R-Y,B-Y), but the only option that doesn’t black-screen in the Media Express preferences is “NTSC”, which is giving me less-than stellar 720 captures.

    A support person at Black Magic stated that, using component cables, I should be able to record at the 1080i 59.94. However, this isn’t working.

    Make sure you have it set to 1080i 59.94 on the blackmagic design control panel as well. You might want to try the capture dialogue in your editing program as well.

    Another option is that sometimes I’ve found that it needs to recognize signal before showing up on screen, changing resolutions a bit might help.
