Hi Stian,

That’s a weird one. Generally, 10-bit uncompressed files on Windows and Mac share the same FourCC so opening it up in FCP should not be an issue.

Do you have a shortish clip you can post on a file hosting website? I can try downloading it and having a try.

Hi Darek,

No it’s not. Like Margus wrote, the calibration only works via your OS display driver level so it will only be active when the monitor is connected directly to the DVI port of your computer.

Hi,

The reason why you’re getting more when not using the Blackmagic presets because of how the video data is handled.

In Adobe’s presets using the Mercury Playback Engine, the path is relatively straightforward. Everything gets pushed to the graphics card and then directly out via the DVI port.

When you want to use a proper video output, the data then has to make its way back to the driver before being sent out via HD-SDI, HDMI or analog video. However, this ensures that your output is always proper high quality video output in the correct colorspace and resolution.

That said, we’re earnestly looking at how we can improve this.

Hi,

I think Claus-Peter’s issues are unrelated to your post. I’ll address your issues in your own thread.

Hi,

It should work, if not it’s something we need to look into. What monitor is this?

Hi,

Have you attempted to contact any of our support crew about the issues you\’re facing?

What version of drivers are you using?

What formats this? 720p? 1080i?

When you say that it\’s not playing, is this even with one single layer?
Which bmd presets are you using?

Hi Mike,

Can you point me to a Mac compatible PCIe USB 3.0 card?

[Alexander Higgins] “Anyone know why these boards are requied and why I couldn’t use the GA-EP45-UD3P?
“

The boards are listed because we’ve tested them and found that they work. There are also other customers using motherboards not listed with Blackmagic UltraScope but due to the large number of motherboards available, it’s not possible for us to test every single one.
