The data coming out of your SDI spigot is uncompressed from the 844/X codec, so the best codec would be uncompressed. I’d probably use 8-bit since you have already lost data from compressing it to 844/X.

He’s lying to you. The HDLink can take in any valid HD-SDI signal. It doesn’t matter if it comes from a deck, a camera, an AJA board, or a Blackmagic board. Your vendor probably wants to sell you the more expensive unit because it makes him more money. I’d find a new vendor. Also, the HDLink will support DVI AND HDMI monitors. The AJA will only support DVI.

“But I am afraid that it is impossible to have deck control do “Capture Now” as FCP does, or am I wrong?”
Did you spend 10 seconds to look at the menus in the Deck Control application? Did you notice:
Movie->Capture Now?-Mike

Doesn’t look like a BMD problem. Someone on the Matrox Axio forum was getting the same error so it must be an Adobe problem:

The output of their basic card is SDI – serial digital:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_Digital_InterfaceThe monitor you have takes in composite analog.
“How simple could this be to screw up?” is as simple as trying to run a digital data stream into an analog input. In the video world, and the computer world for that matter, just because you can hook two things together doesn’t mean that they should be hooked together – you need to understand what the signal on the cable is.

I ran across this once too. According to https://www.blackmagic-design.com/support/detail.asp?techID=78
DV10 is for legacy Digital Voodoo files. -
Yes.

A typical novice mistake is to use something other than BLACK as a blackburst into a sync input. These inputs are designed for blackburst input and most do not work well if you put in something other than blackburst.
Since you speculated that color bars might be a problem, did you simply just try using blackburst?
