I’m using Sony Vegas Pro 9 and I use a BlackMagic DeckLink HD Extreme to capture SDI from a Digital Betacam deck – also use it to capture component from BetacamSP. I also occasionally print to both of these decks.
Have had no problems, except since the move from Sony Vegas Pro 8 to 9, it no longer correctly reads timecode from the tape. Not an overwhelming issue for me, just an annoyance.

Well, that would be lovely – I’ll keep my eyes peeled for the update and hope it has the fix. Thanks!

I totally agree. In our studio, we have 2 Vegas stations (that the real editors use, myself included) and 2 FCP stations for student learning. I find FCP over-marketed, over-hyped and underwhelming.

Also, holding the Control button while you drag the window helps to override the docking desire.

Congrats on getting it up and running. Hopefully your tests will be less frustrating.

I’m not actually monitoring HD – we shoot in HD, then down convert and capture/work in SD via firewire – or we shoot in DigiBeta and capture SDI.
To monitor my signal, I am going SDI out of the DeckLink HD Extreme into my DigiBeta deck, then going component out of the DigiBeta deck into a Samsung LCD widescreen. Full screen, real time, very slight lag (less than 1 sec.) no issues.

Well, I don’t remember sacrificing any chicken, but my Decklink HD Extreme works perfectly for external monitoring and SDI/Y,R-Y,B-Y input and output. I’m running XP Pro SP2, Vegas Pro 8 (it worked with 7 too). I used driver 6.6.2 that I downloaded from Blackmagic’s site.
Do you have the DeckLink icon in your Windows Control Panel?

Thanks for the input. I will give it a try!
