Uncompressed vs blackmagic codecs (FCP)
Hi folks,
Just a questions about easy settings with FCP 5.1.4 and Decklink HD
With our last HD card, we were using the Uncompressed 10-bit Codec.
I went to switch some settings in the A/V Settings window, and noticed it was set to Blackmagic 10-Bit.I know in the past I was told to use the Uncompressed setting. Has that changed?

Hi Bryan,
We use the Apple Uncompressed 8 and 10-bit codecs for all uncompressed timelines except for for dual-link 4:4:4 RGB timelines. Apple don’t have their own RGB codec so that is why we still provide a Blackmagic RGB 10-bit codec for working with the HDCAM SR decks and other 4:4:4 workflows. Might you have been looking at an RGB preset?

Hi Luke, thanks for the reply.
That’s what I was thinking, but I can’t seem to find an Uncompressed codec of any sort in the [CapturePreset] drop down. In our other suite it works fine. And in this suite it was working as expected until we reinstalled FCP.
Sequence Preset = yes, i see an Uncompressed 10bit option
Capture Preset = nope, just blackmagic 10bit -
Hi Bryan,
It sounds to me as though you might have a remnant component of an old driver on your system. Please download the current DeckLink 6.1 drivers and use the Uninstaller in the disk image to remove all traces of DeckLink drivers from your system. Then install the DeckLink 6.1 drivers.
Does that fix the problem?
