Is this just an issue with multibridge or all of the decklink cards? Anyone know?

I’m in Canada. We do a weekly show for a national network but still live in the world of tape. They may do ads this way here but I’m not in that loop at all.

Thanks for the info.

And you deliver these as MPEGs? Sorry just wondering.

Hi Mark

We did the move from Edit to BlackMagic in the fall. We got a “free” SD plus card with a multibridge converter we bought and I tossed it in an old edit system in place of the Matrox LE and it works quite nicely.

We later put together some HP “clones” with HD Pro cards in 2 and another “free” card in the third. Onboard SATA raids seem to cope with most SD jobs fine. I’ve only done two HD jobs and they played fine out of 3 striped SATAs, but they were uncompressed renders from HDV sources so it wasn’t complex.

I passed on Axio in part because it meant buying a prebuilt system and I thought HP was overpriced. We are all digital in the suites so I don’t need Axios i/o abilities either.

Unless you are doing a lot of layering within Premiere BM seems to do the job quite nicely. There are a few anoying bugs but they keep the updates coming so I am hopeful they’ll get the DV situation fixed soon.

The biggest challenge is moving to Premiere from Edit and that you have to cope with whether it is BM or Axio.

Good Luck
Shane

I’m only guessing, I have no experience with that boardset or Extreme I’m afraid. Were using Tyan and HDPRO.

I did have a similar problem with a Supermicro P4DCE+ and Matrox Digisuite boards years ago. I installed an earlier bios and all was well. SuperMicro used to post the various versions on their web site (may still), and Matrox posted the bios version they used in testing compatability. I wish BM would let us know the specifics of their test systems, it would make it easier to build and troubleshoot.

Paul

Ground loops and noisy/dirty power can cause this sort of thing to. You might want to try one computer with monitor by itself (no sync gen) with one analog vtr feeding the BM card and no other connections. The computer/monitor/vtr should be all powered from the same power bar and no UPS. If it goes away gradually restore your other power and video connections to try and identify the source of the problem.

FYI

has a note about another supermicro motherboard. I don’t know if it applies to yours or not.
