Are you saying the 422 machine control works fine between the decklink and the deck, but not when you loop through the router? Is it the Blackmagic Videohub router?

You now have to do some configuration to sync printing to tape up.
First – Manual edit controls the actual inpoint on the tape. We find 5 works on our machines so you might want to start there. You have to get this right first. Take a black tape, a timeline with bars, park your cursor on bars (so bars is in the frame buffer on screen), record and check the inpoint for accuracy.
Seond – Delay start controls when Premiere plays the timeline. Again I think 5 works for us. If this is off in one direction you record whatever is in the frame buffer for a few frames, if it is off in the other you miss the first few frames of your show. I suggest a timeline of single frame countdown to set this.
This fun is thanks to Adobe and not Black Magic.

In Device manager right click on the “other bridge device” and select uninstall to remove the driver. Then rerun the decklink install as a repair.
That’s my best guess.

Someone from BlackMagic confirmed this is a known bug. So I’ll stop trying to fix it, and hope they will.

I guess you are monitoring an SD signal, not HD? It maps pixel for pixel so SD in NTSC people look fat, in Pal they look thin.
It gives you an incredibly sharp image but it is a trade off against aspect ratio. AJA makes a similar box but their version will scale SD signals to the right aspect ratio, but then it isn’t pixel for pixel, and it dosen’t have the same kind of sharpness to my eye.

I’m guessing the titler uses “safe title” and the timeline uses “safe action”. Safe title is usually the more conservative setting as you don’t want to cut off a title.

I’ve noticed with Premiere 2.0 (unlike 1.51) we have to set it to use com 3 for 422 in order to use the decklink card. I guess there are 2 com ports already on the motherboard.

So this means as long as “single field” isn’t toggled in the decklink settings there is no problem?

Sounds like you are monitoring through your deck. Set the front panel to E-E and see if that fixes the monitoring problem. If not try monitoring off the decklink.
As for the darkness? Connect your monitor to your deck and play the tape…picture ok? If not look for …double termination (splitting the output to two places), bad or loose wires (swap some others), proc amp settings on the deck (put them in preset).
If the picture off the deck is OK hook your monitor up to the decklink output and look at the picture. If it is dark check for bad wires from the deck to the decklink, proc amp settings in decklink, loose multipin connection to the board.
