Hello Thomas Kist
Could you tell me how you have hooked up the BM SDI to HDMI? I have tried everything I could think of but no picture on the monitor. I can’t figure out what I must be doing wrong. I have tried from EX1 and EX3, SD and HD.
Thanks

The SanDisk 600x is a Compact Flash card, not SDHC. Class 10 listing alone is not really useful for our purpose. Class 10 only means minimum sustained rate of 10 MB/second. Some cards such as the SanDisks also rate maximum sustained speed, which in their class 4 is 15MB/s and their class 10 it’s 30MB/s. I have seen that rating to be more reliable than minimum rating.

Hello Joe
Did you end up getting the Black Magic SDI to HDMI adapter? I got one from B&H and tried combination of wires and menu but nothing showed on the monitor. Thought may be a bad unit so got a replacement today and still no picture. I have tried everything in the menu and tried different BNC and HDMI cables and monitors, no luck. Used tested working cables. Tried SD and HD in the menu. Tried EX1 and EX3 cameras. The BM box lights up. What am I doing wrong? Anybody? Thank you.

May be you have not tried this: In camera mode, when recording to one card, press MENU and select OTHERS. Go to the last menu, FORMAT MEDIA, and you will be able to format the OTHER card that is not currently recording. I do this all the time in EX3 and EX1. To delete clips you have to be in VCR mode but to format you do not have to.
Or did I not understand what you are trying to achieve?

So why do you have to stop recording to format the other card? You can always format one card when the other is recording. May be I did not understand your situation.

Sometimes if you delete ALL your media cache and let it rebuild, the problem could go away.

Could somebody tell me if there is any time lag between the camera LCD and SDI to HDMI monitor? Like firewire has? Thanks.

Same thing happened to me this weekend! My monitor fell down and it yanked the component connector loose! Monitor works but the connection is dead.
Thank you for this post (even though I did not heed the warning), I think I will go the Black Magic route and monitor thru HDMI, rather than spending $1000 to fix the socket. -
Which version of PPro CS3? Update to 3.2 and try one of those Sony XDCAM EX presets. Might work depending on your MP4 file.

After I moved from Video Toaster and FAST Video Machine to Adobe Premiere, I have been happy. Now the PPro CS5 is absolutely a pleasure to work in. I do not do films, except for occasional trailers or trailer-like theatrical commercials. I do mostly TV shows and event videos, but I enjoy working with PPro CS5. And the dynamic link is a great time saver to go back and forth to After Effects, Encore, Photoshop and Illustrator. I never got used to FCP’s workflow, even though I have to use FCP every once in a while.
