Emilio,

Might be time to make use of SONY’s support.

You can start here.

They have a searchable knowledge base and if you don’t find the answer you can open a support ticket.

Another option would be to download a trial version of Vegas Pro 10 (9 & 10 can co-exist on the same computer) and give it a shot.

OK .. the latest build of Vegas Pro 9 is 9.0e build 1147.

I’d start by updating your software to that level.

If one of those files is not too large (or you can put them on some sharing site) I can download and see what happens on my system, to eliminate any setup issues.

BTW .. what exact version Vegas 9 are you using?

John,

I’d say you are spot on. The only way the BM card would affect playback (IMHO) is if your video card can’t handle it – as well as processor power, to be sure.

I chose to go the BM route as neither of my dual display monitors is capable of HD resolution and prefer the real estate, stretched across both, when editing.

I would most certainly include either of those in any new system.

I should add, that for my purposes, the BM Intensity pro would have been a cheaper alternative, if all you need is external monitoring.

However, (and I don’t wish to open a can of worms here), the only way I can get 4CH audio into Vegas from my S270 is to use the BM card for capture via SDI-in. As well, I use the BM ASIO driver for audio for both Windows and Vegas.

Skype me if you want to chat about this.

If you have the ‘trimmer’ open, check that the “Show Video Monitor” button is NOT turned on.

Ken,

Notwithstanding what the others here have said, I use a BlackMagic Decklink Studio 2 card and output to a Sharp Aquos LED-LCD 32″ HDTV.

Works fine directly from the Vegas t/line and the playback is smooth as silk.

I use Win-XP SP3 (32bit) running on an i7-860 processor (2.80Ghz). I monitor to the TV in ‘Best-Full’ resolution and my HDV clips play back at the full 29.97fps rate.

Added benefit is that I can simultaneously monitor to an SD monitor, automatically letterboxed so I can see what my video looks like downconverted to SD.

Couldn’t be happier.

Try setting the preview resolution to a better quality and see if that helps.

Derek,
You need to have all the gear connected correctly before you start up Vegas.

Try that and see how you go.
