Right. That’s what I used it for originally. Then I thought “What if…” Guess I’m stuck with that old GeForce card for now.
Thanks for clarifying.

PP2 does, in fact, run fine if I uninstall Intensity. But I seem to have solved the issue but downgrading to previous drivers, specifically 2.0.
It seems OK so far.

Thanks very much. Will try. Lot of stuff to look at on this page.

It’s a standard definition monitor. The TM14-17R. I’ll be using it with after effects to colour-match layers on some compositing work I’ve been doing. I don’t plan on using it for final colour corrections. But now Mr. Zelin’s got me worried about “soft CRT tubes”.
Soft tubes? Anyone care to explain that for me?

Thanks for all the input. I wound up calling out of town for a custom cable. Not one Radio Shack in this one had any adaptors or cables in stock. Frustrating.
To respond to Mr. Zelin, the Ikegami doesn’t take SDI, nor does the Intensity Pro feed it.
[Bob Zelin] “I also question whether this Iki monitor will display an HD-SDI signal via analog component.”
You’re saying: SDI can go through RCA in certain cases? I’m a bit new to all this, but I was made to believe that SDI positively requires a BNC out card (Like the Decklink Studio card, I believe) and a BNC monitor with the proud letters “SDI” printed on the front. Short of that, no SDI.

[Sean Donnelly] “I’ve never heard of anyone using SDI with RCA connectors”
Let me clarify a bit. Blackmagic’s Intensity Pro capture card comes with a breakout cable that goes to RCA connectors only. Shocking but true. My component broadcast monitor (not SDI) only has BNC inputs (BNC doesn’t necessarily imply SDI – in this case it’s component).
I just need to connect my component card to my component monitor. One is RCA, the other is BNC. That’s all. I was debating between RCA-BNC adapters, vs. a RCA-BNC cable. Which is safer, in terms of quality? Or am I just looking for something to worry about. Serge.

[Tracy Peterson] “I’m not sure you can connect HDSDI the same way”
How exactly does this apply to my situation? And by “barrel” you mean adapter, right?

OK – That’s impressive. Just like that, off the top of your head. And it works.

By god. I always wondered what that was for. How to express my gratitude…

Thanks for chiming in again. Indeed, I am avoiding composite, even though other posts on the subject haven’t been that forceful on the issue. I’m simply taking it for granted based on what I’ve read here and on wikipedia.
