no “live” SDI input
Hi,
Im trying to capture live from a DVCPRO50 camcorder SDI output to a DL Extreme
SDI input. I can see the SDI as loop-through to SDI monitor from DL SDI output, but not in
capture inside FCP. I’ve tried various settings but no luck. Going straight to the monitor
also works just fine.
What have I missed?Dual core 2.3ghz G5
DL Extreme PCIe
Latest drivers from BM web.
All latest updates on FCP, QT and Mac OS.
4.5Gb rambest,

I’ve done some more testing. Y in works just fine (composit video in).
Still no SDI input.fwiw,

Have you changed the input to SDI in the Blackmagic section of your system settings? Open your MAC system settings and click on the Blackmagic settings icon. Change the input settings to SDI (and the output too if that is what you are using).

Hi Trevor,
yes I have checked that.Anyone out there with a DVCPRO50 Pana 900 camcorder and SDI output that could try?
I didn’t get the SDI card from Pana DVCPRO50 VCR, so I can’t try that.
I’ll try going from my other DL system, G5 to G5….. And I will try to
connect the camcorder to the other system aswell.best,

so, I’ve tried from other DL system, it works 🙂 The SDI input is alive.
Still no picture from Pana camcorder though 🙁
I’ve got a “SDI cap” SW from Black Magic Design, I will try that and see
what support can come up with.best,

Hi,
Does your deck support UMID? Try turning it off.
