Try a longer cable on the sdi input, say 10 metres,
we find that A500P Vtrs aren’t seen on short cable inputs to decklink cards. -
We’ve had this, try putting a much longer sdi cable between the deck and card.

Hi colleagues,
I had a strange problem capturing SDI into a FCP system with Decklink Extreme3.
Feeding different SDI machines in, it would see DSR1500, J30, analogue sources but
when A500P Digibetas were connected, there was either nothing or very erratic intermittent input.
After much discussion with BM in Cheshire UK (always helpful!), the solution was to put a much longer video cable between the SDI source and capture card. It would appear that the card is designed to work on longer cables and 2-3 metres as I would normally use don’t work well at all. It’s all about re-clocking, loops and eyes in the SDI signal. I don’t have this with my other BM products. I suspect the design is over pre-equalised . I’ve hidden 50 metres of PSF cable behind the edit desk and all is well in the world again. Hope others find this helpful, best wishes to you all. Andy
