Ultrastudio Express + FCP 7.0.3 No 1080/30p output preset
Does anyone know how to get UltraStudio Express to output 1080p/30 via SDI in FInal Cut 7? Works great in X, but nothing in 7. BM support says there is no preset which seems ridiculous for such an industry standard. There’s only 59.94i. Support said they know of someone creating a custom preset to allow for this, but seemed a little dodgy on how to do it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Right, you choose the 1080/59.94i preset.
You’re still cutting in 30p.Chris

In theory this should work, but in practice it actually doesn’t. Is there anything I need to set in the System Prefs of the Blackmagic setup? Their tech support couldn’t help me and basically said if you don’t see a 30p option then it doesn’t exist.
As it is 59.94i does not output properly. I also have the AJA T-Tap and associated software installed- could this cause a conflict?

Did you try setting it to 30p?

I set that setting to 29.97- should I set to 30? Either way it doesn’t play back progressive- only Interlaced. For whatever reason those settings don’t translate to the settings offered in FCP.

I should add that I had it playing for 10 minutes this morning using 30p footage played back at 59.94i and then all of a sudden it dropped out. Very strange. Tested same cables with AJA T-Tap and no issues…
