Hi Ethan –
My issue was solved by making sure that the “Transmit” function in the Program Monitor settings was enabled.

Yes, the issue was resolved. In the Program Monitor pull down menu is a function called “Transmit”. When enabled the signal is output to an external monitor. When disabled, nothing goes out. Somehow I had disabled Transmit through some unknown key stroke combination.

Peter, I found some interesting information as I looked at various settings.
When looking at the files in the Media Browser, the Canon file type was Canon XF and the p2 file was Panasonic p2. After importing them into a project and clicking on file properties, the Canon file type was noted as XDCAM 422 while the p2 file type was p2. When creating a sequence from each clip, the Canon file sequence Edit Mode was Custom and the Preview File type was I Frame Mpeg (like an XDCAM file) while the p2 clip sequence for both Edit Mode and Preview were Panasonic p2. In both cases the frame rates and frame sizes of the sequences were matched to that of its clip.
While the p2 sequence will not display on the external monitor, a p2 clip will play out to the display if it’s cut as the second clip into the XDCAM sequence. I do see that above the p2 clip is a red bar, although playback is smooth.
What’s your thoughts?

Peter, as I was reading your response I was so so hoping that this suggestion would solve my issue.
Woo! Woo! Enable Transmit was deselected. Once selected my Playback Prefs were all available including the BMD card. I now have output to my external monitor. I have no idea how or when that got deselected but it sure won’t happen again.
If I could ask one other question of you – Why is it that when I “make sequence from clip” for an mxf p2 file it won’t playback to my monitor, but a “make sequence from clip” for a mxf file from a Canon 300 will. Would that have something to do with Premiere or BMD?

Any suggestion at this point is good, thanks. And yes, I did delete Premiere prefs when I uninstalled the app.

This morning I uninstalled the BMD drivers, then uninstalled Premiere. I downloaded and installed the latest version of the Adobe Cloud Manager. Next, I downloaded and installed the latest version of Premiere. Before I installed the BMD drivers I launched Premiere and looked at the settings for Playback. There were three options, Adobe DV, Adobe Monitor 1 and Adobe Monitor 2. All were grayed out and none could be chosen.
I then installed BMD desktop video 9.7.7. I re-launched Premiere and looked at Playback Preferences. The system showed Blackmagic Playback as well as the three Adobe options. All were still grayed out and none could be chosen.

I’ll re-install on Monday and let you know the outcome

None of the options, including Adobe Player, are available. They are all grayed out.

I’m not a big AE user on that workstation and had not checked the output until you asked. Interestingly enough, AE sees the BMD card just fine and the output displayed to my monitor. I then quit AE, opened Premiere, but nothing had changed there. The BMD option is still grayed out and not an option.
