Preview 1280 720

[Anthony Dupsta]

Since know one really uses the decklink nor does anyone read these threads, this is my solution. My seq is 1280 720 square pixel 10 bit 4:2:2. The quick time I render is the same but I squeeze it vertically. So out of AE I have a 1280 720 comp but my layer is scaled down 50 percent so it looks totally stretched. 100% by 50 % scale. When I import it in to my seq for playback on the 1080i HDTV it plays back and looks right, but only on the HDTV.

Hi,

What is the model of DeckLink card you’re using?

What is the make and model of your HD monitor? What connections are you using, component or SDI?

Hello there
I have a Decklink Pro card that goes SDI out to my HDLink DualLink HD SDI converter. DVI output to my Samsung HDTV 1080i DVI input (16:9). Picture looks fine I just have to render all my quicktimes with a wierd scale. 100% Horzontal 50% verticle. SO it looks all stretched than when I preview on the HD monitor it looks correct. The full 1280 720 quicktime doesnt fill the the HDTV monitor frame either fills about 75% of the screen. I have tried many of the settings on the decklink.
So, recap, thats an decklink pro card, sdi out to an HDLink, DVI into the HDTV 1080i NTSC Samsung. I just want to play my 1280 720 Blackmagic 10 bit rgb quicktimes full frame on my HDTV samsung 1080i monitor for clients to watch.

Hi,

Are you sure you’re using a DeckLink Pro and not a DeckLink HD Pro? The DeckLInk Pro is only a standard Definition card.

If you’re indeed a DL HD Pro, then what you’re seeing is actually correct behaviour. HDLink does not scale your video to fit the size of the display since it displays pixel-for-pixel the HD image. If you’re playing out 720p HD on a 1080 display, it will only take up 1280×720 pixels.
