I have a similar problem with the component out of my Deck Link Pro card when viewed through my JVC BM-H1310SU monitor, a green band approximately one-third the height of screen moving upward and taking about 15 seconds to go from the top to the bottom. I do not have this problem when using the composite out of the card. I first noticed this while monitoring the capture of black and white files in June of last year. I then noticed it on my captured color files in December of last year after changing video cards (from ATI to nVIDIA). I have been trying to resolve this problem with Blackmagic since June of last year without success. I think it is a problem with the SDI to component conversion

Andrew McLeod initially thought the green tint on my black and white files was a capture problem and he suggested I apply a black and white filter to remove the green tint. I did but it did not make any difference. The green tint is more noticeable on black and white files so I would suggest you use a black and whit file when you try to duplicate the green tint on playback through the component out of the Pro card. If you don

Thank you for your response. Yesterday I sent an email (referencing your response) to pcsupport summarizing the problem I am experiencing. For your information, I am now using driver version 5.5 but this problem has manifested itself in every version since I started with 4.8.1.

I performed three additional tasks to isolate my problem. In accordance with your suggestion, I checked the termination on my monitor and I used a different source for viewing through the component input of the monitor. The termination was ok and the additional component source played fine without a green tint. The third task was to enable the Deck Link display adapter. I disable the Deck Link adapter in my default set up because my cursor disappears in the upper left quadrant of my computer monitor when it is enabled. However, enabling the Deck Link adapter did not solve the problem

Hello Shane,
My understanding is that while setup is related to the proper display of black in NTSC video it should not cause the green tint I am experiencing. However, in accordance with your suggestion, I switched the setup on my standard definition Pro card from 7.5 IRE (on for North America) to 0 IRE (off for everywhere else). The switch did not solve the problem

Hello Kai,
I have a standard definition Deck Link Pro card and have the same problem when viewing files through the component input of my JVC BM-H1310SU (CRT) monitor. The difference is my files are tinted green, not red. The green tint is manifested as a band with a height approximately equal to one-third the height of the screen. The band is not stationary but moves vertically upward taking approximately 15 seconds to travel from the bottom of the screen to the top.
Using the composite input on the monitor (and making the appropriate changes in the preference settings on the card) eliminates the green tint. The files are ok. The green tint is evident through the component input of the JVC monitor even on files that I captured before installing the Deck Link card (and none of the files exhibit the green tint on my computer monitor when viewing the files in either the source or program windows within Premiere Pro 2.0 or After Effects 7.0 Professional).
I first noticed the tint on black and white files I captured after installing the card in June of last year. However, the tint was not visible on color files I captured after installing the card. In December of last year I replaced my ATI 9800 Pro video card with an nVIDA Quadro FX 700 card. The green tint is now clearly visible in both my black and white files and my color files.
I emailed Blackmagic support regarding the tint on the black and white files in June of last year and exchanged several emails with Andrew McLeod. However, the problem was neither isolated nor resolved. I emailed Andrew McLeod regarding the tint on the color files in December of last year but he did not reply
At this time I do not know a solution short of purchasing an outboard SDI to component converter or a monitor with an SDI input. The only value of my reply may be to let you know that you not the only user experiencing this problem.
