Thank you! That was embarrassing…

I have a 7000 series Samsung as well using a HDLink 3D and am only able to use Top and Bottom, Side by Side and Line by Line modes. When I attempt Frame Packing I receive a No Signal message on the TV. Is this the behavior you see or was Blackmagic able to instruct you how to achieve Frame Packing as well? If so, can you possibly share that information?

No filters, straight frames to AVI render.

Have you really tried this? I have, and no setting seems to help in AE 8bit NTSC (for HD, encoding with Off or Upper Field works fine). In a 16bit NTSC AE project, when rendering out using the BMD 10bit 4:2:2 codec field order is fine. The same progressive NTSC file sequence rendered on a PPro timeline in the NTSC 8bit 23.976 BMD preset is also fine. There seems to be something wrong with the Uncompressed 8bit AVI codec. Curiously, the same 240 frames rendered in AE 8bit uncompressed (240MB) is larger than the 10bit BMD codec (213MB). From a 8bit BMD PPro timeline the same 240 frames is 160MB. Has there ever been a time where you could select a BMD NTSC 8bit 4:2:2 codec for rendering in AE?

Bear in mind AE will scale its Comp output to 1920×1080 when previewing through a Decklink HD (check your Preferences, video output). Your Cineons (~4:3) will be seen squashed if you maintain a 2048×1536 comp. If you set a 1920×1080 Comp you’ll see a cropped image. You can Scale to see more or less.

Did you try enabling Speaker “ON” in the Audio’s Advanced menu under Preferences in Decklink Control? Do you have signal in the VU meter in this same menu? Appologies if this differs from the PC.

I have the same problem (went away for a week, computer was rendering while I was out) returned and now have no Decklink HD output or input. This is a PC system and Decklink audio doesn’t work either. I’ll try shuting the computer off for a while.

I recieved my replacement Multibridge last week. I was told everything was perfect except on very long analog HD captures the signal may drop. Well, it took only about ten seconds to lose input in my analog HD capture test. The capture continues through the dropouts. I’m having no luck with XLR audio input/capture — digital noise burying the audio. I recall no audio problems with my original unit which is a little weird. Qualifying it before he shipped the unit to me, Mike at BMD Las Vegas assured me a firmware upgrade would cure the analog HD capture issue (which is still known to BMD), and if not a new unit with new chips would. I’ve posted about the audio issue but haven’t heard anything yet…
