S-Video setting missing from Decklink panel?
According to https://www.blackmagic-design.com/support/detail.asp?techID=157 I should be able to capture an S-Video (Y/C) source using my DeckLink SP using an adapter cable. However, I just installed the latest WinXP driver (6.7.2) and all I see for input selection are the following:
Y, R-Y, B-Y Video & Analog XLR Audio
NTSC/PAL (Y In) & Analog XLR AudioIsn’t there supposed to be an “S-Video” selection? If so, what’s wrong? If not, what setting am I supposed to use?

Bumping this up again as nobody has responded — I thought BlackMagic support monitored these forums, do they not? Should I contact support directly?
I can put s-video into my scan converter and then my scan converter’s component to the DeckLink SP, but I would much rather avoid the generational loss in doing that and just pump s-video into the DeckLink SP. See previous post for what I’m seeing; am I doing it wrong?

Hi Jim,
The DeckLink SP does not support S-video input. The tech note specifically refers to the DeckLink HD Extreme, Multibridge Pro and Multibridge Eclipse.

I have many hundreds of hours of archival footage that is only available via an S-video out connection. I love the uncompressed 10-bit quality I get from the DeckLink SP; what is the cheapest product Blackmagic offers that will let me capture s-video?
