front porch?!?! sounds like where Andy Griffith plays his guitar with Opey!
just haven’t heard that term in a while. most users don’t even know what blanking is.
“scope is a kind of mouthwash right dude?”
anyway 4.8 drivers definately kill input ref to both our decklink extreme systems. and other users as well.
4.7.1 is still on the BMD support page, but were just switching our digi to sync to input video –
until they get back from drinking in Vegas ; ]~os x 10.3.8

yeah I saw that, but i’m not sure i have the skills or environment for something that serious. we use Sony pvm 20 L/5 monitors, so i don’t think they are high end enough. we aren’t colorists, but just need something that works, and CF seems to have more features than fcp 3 way. if I set effect handling to off will that give me accurate results (will have to render of course.)
-
well what about another solution? does “color finesse” by synthetic aperture work? if it would accomplish this in FCP without the color shift it would be well worth the $600.
-
well, at least it’s good to know that this is a totally useless feature which has caused me more embarassment with clients than it’s worth.
are there any color correction plugins for fcp that work right in the program? -
yes

so “image” has a check mark and “show overlays” has a check mark and you say that works? as I said we tried every combination of this with no luck. I will try it again on monday. where did you get this info? trial and error? do you get no color shift? we are all digibeta 10 bit ntsc, gen locked facility, broadcast ntsc sony monitors, tektronix scopes and consistently see the problem on two decklink extreme online edit bays.

yeah, but only you me and Jeff? I mean I hope it is across the board, as that should make it easier to fix, but if it is intermittent with only some users having the problem – well then we have along wait with no sync. NOT COOL ;-(
and I assume BlackMagic design has a sync generator in their test labs. but then again when digital voodoo came out with their first card, and we complained it wasn’t working they finally admitted they didn’t have an NTSC digibeta to test it with! they only had it working with PAL…. -
well, we had no problems in 4.7 so whatever you changed in 4.8 broke it (for us anyway). everything else in our facility is working fine and we’ve never had a sync problem with any of our decklink products ever. from your very frist card all the way up to the two decklink extremes we are currently running. I also don’t understand how this could only affect some users.

ps this is NOT an April fools joke
