Video monitoring

[Theo]

Hi,

The SDI output is a digital output (SDI means Serial Digital Interface) and cannot be used for analog video monitoring.

Use the Y output connector of the three analog outputs and in the Decklink Pref Pane set analog output to composite and not to component. This way you will get the proper composite analog signal and you can go over RCA to your TV.

There’s a diagram in the manual showing you which connector to choose.

Hope this explains,

Hi Theo, thanks for the prompt reply.

I kinda figured that out a couple of days ago, had to thrash fcp’s prefernces before it actually worked.

Thanks again for your reply though.

cheers
