6. The SDI and analog outputs are always active on DeckLink cards. If
you need to switch the analog connections between composite and
component, use the Blackmagic DeckLink PrefPane located in “System
Preferences.” You can adjust your analog settings in the video tab of
the DeckLink control panel.
7. After installing the DeckLink Extreme, you might nd that you cannot
capture video. The reason for this is that you rst need to specify which
video input you are using, i.e. SDI, component analog or composite
analog. Open the System Preferences and then click on Blackmagic
DeckLink. Look at the settings for Video Connections and set the Input
as desired, i.e:
• Digital SDI
• Analog NTSC/PAL (Y In) - also known as composite analog.
• Analog Y, B-Y, R-Y - also known as component analog.
8. If you wish to sync your deck to your Decklink card without using a
signal generator, we have provided the option of sending a stable black
signal to the deck during capture. You can set which output is used for
this function with the Black Video to Deck in Capture drop-down menu.
Please note that the accompanying audio output will be muted as well
when in capture.
9. The video desktop feature enables you to work in applications such
as Adobe Photoshop™ and Microsoft Powerpoint™ and display them
on your broadcast monitor. This will immediately show you how your
project will display on a TV so there will be no surprises when you
output to tape. If you wish to disable this feature, choose to “Disable
After Restart”. You will require an Administrator password to make this
change.
Note: When using the DeckLink HD Pro video output in RGB 4:4:4 Dual Link
mode, the signal from the analog component outputs will be RGB, so switch
your broadcast monitor to RGB. You can still playback 8 and 10 bit YUV les, as
this setting only effects the video output setting. DeckLink HD Pro will translate
these les to RGB on playback in real time.
