    Installed the card, Ran the 5.3.1 drivers setup. Attached cables. Blackmagic card shows up in the desktop setup utilities, but NOTHING shows up on the TV I’m monitoring to. Just a Blank Screen.

    Is it a card with analog out? If so there is a toggle for composite or YUV out in Control Panel/Decklink. Is that it?

    Check your desktop properties and be sure the decklink monitor is enabled?

    Do the Decklink programs work? Does Premiere work in capture? Tell us more about your setup.

    Control Panel Decklink is set as follows:
    Output: SDI&Analog Y,B-Y,R-Y
    Input: SDI Video & SDI Audio

    I currently have BNC Cables connected to the component in on my TV using a BNC to RCA adapter with BNC Cables. I’m wondering if there is no display because the Black Magic card is trying to output a progressive signal ????? The TV won’t support that.

    Should I change the Output to SDI & Analog NYSC/PAL (Y Out) and then go into the TV using a single Composite Cable(Yellow input on the TV)?

    Which cable do I connect to coming out of the BM Card?

    I appreciate your help.

    Sounds worth a try. The Y cable doubles as the composite out.

    Shane tried changing to Composite y and SDI. Did not work!

    Tried an older driver version. Did not work!

    Now I’m waiting for a response from BMD. It’s going on two days.
