Yup – all the sequence settings are correct for a DV 16:9 project. Playback in PPr is 16:9 – but just not in my client monitor. Either PPr isn’t sending the anamorphic flag or the monitor isn’t interpeting it correctly.

Thanks Tom. The Dell does have a 16:9 mode, but it tries to upscale the image – which makes it horribly pixelated. It look alike I’m stuck! Shame- as it works flawlessly with Media Composer, which must send out an anamorphic flag with the video.

Interesting. I wonder why the Decklink version hasn’t…

Hi Kristian

Thanks for the link to the old drivers.

Should I be connecting to both the Channel 1 & 2 analogue outputs to monitor my audio? I find that if I only connect Channel 1 I can reduce the clipping if I also reduce the input levels to about the 30% (- 8db) level. I have my video output linked by HDMI to an LCD screen (but not a TV with audio).

Thanks

Just loaded the 9.1 drivers and I get just the same issues. All my audio clips – even if I set the sliders in the BMD settings to -12db!

I’m going to have to run MC in software only mode and until I get get this sorted. Any news please Krisitian / BMD?

Any chance someone can point me to a place where I can re-download the 9.0 drivers…?

Thanks

Julian

P.S. Just to check I’m not doing anything stupid – I’ve using the Chl 1 @ 2 to feed audio from my Studio 2 card to my mixing desk. I take it this is the right thing to do! Any particular settings I should set please? I’ve only recently moved from a Matrox Mini, so may have it set up incorrectly. But – it did’t clip this badly with the 9.0 drivers…

I’ve just uninstalled the 9.2 beta drivers and all my audio (across several projects) plays back just fine. Haven’t had time yet to try the 9.1 drivers.

So this clearly demonstrates that there is an issue with the 9.2 version…

Your thoughts please

Thanks

Hi

I’m using the Decklink Studio 2 – connected to a Mac Pro 8 core with an Nvidia Quadro 4000 and 10 Gb RAM.

It’s certainly clipping badly on playback. Even audio ingested prior to loading on the beta driver (which used to play OK) now clips horribly. That said, with the old driver I still had to reduce to audio levels in the BMD settings to about 30% before to avoid clipping. But at least it used to play back then.

I wasn’t monitoring the audio on my last HVD tape capture, so can’t confirm whether it came in clipped.

I don’t have the old driver DMG file, but will try the non-beta driver (and, as a control, with no driver loaded) this evening and report back.

Any advice gratefully received!

Thanks

Julian

Seems to work just fine now – great. I don’t get anything through my client monitor when capturing – do you?

Julian

[Julian Roberts]

Thanks for the update. Well – if it’s a BMD issue, that solves the mystery of why I’m not getting any feedback on the Avid forum.

Pls let me know how you get on with the new Decklink drivers.

I hear Avid is due to release a dot update to MC6 later today.

Hi Krishna

Thanks for your response. Are you saying that you can’t capture HDV in Media Composer, and get the same error message? And that this is a know issue linked to the BMD drivers?

I would be nice in a way to know I’m not alone…

I wonder if this problem started with Media Composer 6.

What advice did you get from BMD?

Thanks

Julian
