  • Viewing offline JPEG footage captured with the Decklink Extreme card

    Posted by Jake Diamond on May 1, 2006 at 3:58 pm

    Hello,

    I recently purchased a decklink extreme card to work on a half hour show inputing an outputing digibeta material. Using the easy setup for ‘Blackmagic NTSC Offline RT’ the footage captures fine, but I see there is no set up for video monitoring. Do you know which selection I should be using for monitoring the video while editing? I tried 10 bit and 8 bit, but neither of those worked. I did try the Blackmagic RGB 720×486 which played the audio, but not the video. I tried viewing the video and audio through a firewire cable which worked, but I’m hoping to keep everything hooked up through the blackmagic card.

    Is there a setting I’m missing? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you,

    Jake

    Use the COMMAND-9 keystroke on your clip (“Item properties”) to study its properties.
    – the video frame rate
    – the video frame size
    – the video codec used (compressor)
    – the video pixel aspect ratio
    – the video field order

    Use the COMMAND-0 keystroke on your sequence (“Sequence Settings”) to study its
    properties.

    Ask yourself, is my timeline a perfect match to the media I want to edit in it?
    If not, make them match. If you like what you get, create a prest that works
    for you.
    If you visit your Audio/Video Settings (COMMAND-OPTION-Q) and set your playback
    device to Decklink (in the A/V tab), there’s a good chance it will work.
