Problems with deck link HD extreme and HDMI connection

Thanks Tracy ,
I think it is possible, I will try to replace the unit I have with a new one.
I will update if there is a change.
About the nVidia compatibility issue, I doubt that it’s the reason, considering Apple’s tech specs includes the nVidia cards on the Mac, I find it hard to believe that BMD didn’t test it first although I can’t reject anything out at this point….Dovev

If you look in this thread….

It seems that some problems with the Multibridge monitor out while using Color might be narrowed down to something to do with nVidia cards. Still may have nothing to do with your issues, but it may be worth keeping an eye on.

Dovev,
Please do let me know. BMD is basically telling me it’s my problem not theirs, so I’d love to hear if you experience a change in the situation by swapping cards. I’m trying to get another card asap so I can prove one way or the other, I really am not trying to point fingers I just want what I paid for to work. It would help my case too to know anything that you find out from this.
Thanks!

Hi Tracy,
Mo problem, I will let you know, since last time I posted, I have made some progress, my BMD card plays all sequences (via HDMI output) only in the following settings: HDTV 1920 x 1080i 25Hz 8 bit. in any other setting the display is very wrong. either the colors are wrong or the display is distorted. I will try to post some pictures that shows part of the problem.
if I’m not mistaken, an 8 bit PAL sequence should show fine with a video out settings that are: Blackmagic PAL 8 bit. (The Footage is PAL and the FCP project is in PAL as well). Am I wrong?I will order a new nvidea card for my mac, it will take some time. do you have a recommended one?

Hi,
I am posting some pictures that shows my problems that i have posted before:
1. the FCP print screen that shows the original project.
2. the picture of the output in BM PAL 8 bit video setting notice the change in the colors (blue is red and red is blue).
3. A picture of the monitor while on pause when the video setting is on BM HDTV 1920x1080i 25Hz (the project is in PAL)
when in play the clips play in the correct size but not in a good quality.
I hope the pictures turned out fine.

I’ll add some pics as well, I think the color issue is the exact same issue. Try an ATi card, I have an nVIDIA card and I think that it’s a better test if you can manage it. Is there an onboard card for macs? Can you just pull the nvidia and test without the accelerated graphics?
Pictures attached:

I also want to repeat that this problem occurs on BOTH connections, HDMI and Component. Please check that component NTSC or PAL still causes color swap.

Hi Tracy,
Yap, looks like the same problem, I ordered today a new nVidia card from the 9x series (as recommended by BDM, if that doesn’t work, I will try the ATI cards although I don’t like theme as much as the nVidia cards.
Unfortunately there is no on board card, but I have a PC with ATI card, I will try the BMD on it.
I will also try the component connection.
Did you try setting your video settings on HDTV 1920x1080i 8 bit?Dovev

I did in after effects, it upscaled the image and showed it in the correct aspect. The color was still wrong, however.
I’d love to hear what happens when you move the card to the PC. In fact, i’d try that first, to eliminate the card as the problem. If the problem still occurs in the PC, then you already know you don’t have to buy another video card.
