  • trouble with HDMI input, should be simple, but I’m getting nothing

    Posted by Todd Reid on October 1, 2008 at 3:41 pm

    Of course, this is becoming an urgent issue for me as deadline looms.

    I’m trying to digitize over 150 short clips from different dvd (non copyrighted of course) for an awards show.
    I have an HDMI out on my panasonic dvd player, so I hooked it to the HDMI input and I am getting squat!

    I’ve digitized via HDMI in the past, and it seemed to work fine, but I’ve updated a few times since then, and now I can’t seem to get it. I’m sure its something I’m doing wrong.
    Can anyone point me to the correct settings to capture via HDMI, non controllable device into Final Cut Pro?

    I just upgraded to 6.0.1 as it mentioned some improvements in HDMI out (audio), so I thought maybe that might help. Still getting nothing.

    Don’t have a HDMI DVD player nearby, but we
    are getting audio only thru HDMI from M25-U
    Sony deck. Video reference light on front
    of IO is sadly dark.

    This would be VERY handy if it worked.

    Version 6.0.1 as well.

    Todd,

    Did you go to the “input” tab of the Io Control Panel and select HDMI as your video input? This tab kind of serves as a “patch bay” of sorts to tell the Io-HD where to look for incoming video. You will need to do this for video and audio.

    Yes, I had HDMI selected in the control panel. It kept showing “no video” input.

    Just got off the phone with AJA, seems my dvd player (and most, if not all) have copy protection built in to the hardware, therefore the AJA doesn’t see any video.

    I was able to get my DirecTV HDMI output to show up in FCP via AJA.
    So I’m off the the store for adapters and cables to set up for component.

    THANKS A LOT MPPA and Hollywood fat cats!!!!!

    Well THAT stinks!

    But thanks for the heads-up. I haven’t tried to take anything out of a DVD player via the HDMI connector, so now I will have an idea of why it may not work.
