After a DAY of struggle, with FCP 6.0.6 crashing (post 7.3.1 driver update then rollback to 7.2.1) I HAD to disable the decklink card all together in order to finish a project I am working on.

Any suggestions on how to get my decklink card working again?

OK,

Now I am having FCP crash issues since installing this 7.3.1 driver. Unable to edit, so rolling back to 7.2.1 which was stable.

Next driver please.

FCP Latest update, and Decklink 2 HD Extreme.

Cheers,

Ben

Hey Matt,

Seems the 7.3.1 update sorted the video output issue. Just installed, so have not had chance to play with other outputs so will keep you posted if any problems arise.

Still stuck on the media express program resolution though…… cant wait for that to get fixed!

Hey Matt,

Thanks for that, i was not looking at the entire thread when I encountered the comments from Evang….

However, has anyone else had issues with the driver that came with this 7.3 release??? I installed it on my mac pro (I have two mac pros, one has a Decklink Extreme 2 HD and the other has only a Decklink Extreme HD (without the HDMI ports)

When I installed on both machines, the older of the two cards worked fine, whilst the newer one (with the HDMI ports) sent scrambled output via my already connected S-video crt. Does this update alter the output ports? Any help on this would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Ben

I agree with Evangelos

BlackMagic have alienated users of lower resolution displays. I use 2 x 22in 1680×1050 Samsung screens, as I prefer a wider display over a tall one, and i monitor to a full HD screen via HDMI and a SD screen via S-video, so I have no need for more than FULL HD displays for final cut.

BlackMagic should take note from their Deck Control software, its small and simple, and does not dominate the entire screen.

Like Evangelos, i’m pretty disappointed with Blackmagic on this release.

Come on guys, get it right in the next release!
