C100 with Blackmagic Battery Converter HDMI to SDI

The Blackmagic box will not recognize the HDMI signal out of my Canon C100. It will recognize the signal out of both a Sony handicam and the output of a Dell laptop computer. We tested an AJA HDMI to SDI converter with the Canon C100 and it worked fine, so it is not the output of the camera or the HDMI cable itself. Has anyone had the same issue? Any advice? Thanks!

I had this same problem recently. Just go to the black magic website and download the latest firmware for the blackmagic battery converter. Follow the instructions on how to update the converter. With the firmware update, everything works perfectly! I use it reliably on a Steadicam setup.

How do I get PremierePro CS6 to talk with Blackmagic card for HDMI output?

I recently upgraded my MacPro from CS5 to CS6. I primarily work with Premiere Pro but also with PhotoShop and Sound Booth. Previousely, my HDMI monitor worked with CS5 but the playback settings in CS6 only had the Adobe Default Player as an option and it would not show the Blackmagic card as an option. I upgraded my Blackmagic software to the most recent version (9.7) but that didn't work either. After the Blackmagic upgrade the HDMI signal in the CS5 PremierePro version (still installed and in use) ceased to operate. Subsequently, the MacOS was also upgraded from 10.7.5 to 10.8.3 but no change in outcome. I have checked all mechanical connections.
My platform specs are:
MacPro (Early 2009)
OS 10.8.3
Processor: 2x2.66 GHz Quad-core Intel Xeon
Memory: 12 BG, 1066 MHz DDR3
Dual screen Apple display
Blackmagic output settings (9.7) : All Video, 4 Analog Audio & 2AES/EBU (NTSC)
My question is how do I get PremierePro to talk with the Blackmagic card?
Phil

Hi Phil,
What Blackmagic card do you have?
There is a known bug with the Intensity cards and Blackmagic driver 9.7 where it does not output HD, only SD This should be resolved soon.
In the meantime, if you have a Intensity card you can go back to desktop version 9.6.8.
Best,

Hi Rob - thanks so much for your help! Could you tell me what "air sever or reflector apps." are? and where can I look for information about them?
Do you use them on the Ipad or on the PC?
Do I need a cable too and which one?
Sorry... I am not very technical as you can see, thanks for your help.

No hdmi devices detected on HD TV with blackmagic intensity card

Im on my Macpro - 2x3 GHz Qaud-Core Intel Xeon with 8GB ram OS 10.5.8
I have installed a Blackmagic Intensity PCI card and using the HMDI connection to my Sony Bravia 21 inch HD TV so i can monitor HD footage for FCP 7 . When i=I go to HDMI setup on the TV I get the message "no hdmi devices detected" with blackmagic intensity card.
Anyone have any ideas or come across this before?

Make sure FCP is running and that you have chosen View menu > External Video > All Frames and the appropriate Blackmagic Intensity preset from the View menu > Video Playback presets.

FMLE and 50fps with BlackMagic devices

FMLE seems to be missing the possibility for 50fps There is a 60, 59.94, 30...fps setting - no 50 fps.
BM settings (fx DeskLinDuo or Intensity Shuttle) allow me to choose 720p50 - but it is reset to 59.94 every time.
25fps doesn't work either.
Must be a missing setting in FMLE. Can't find it with a webcam either.
How can I fix that?
Thank You
Frank

Seems, FMLE doesnot support Europe 50fps standart at all. Neither 1080i/50 (work when capturing 25fps) nor 720p/50. I'm using Canon XHG1 cameras, which can produce only 1080i/50 fps and JVCs ProHD 251 whis are 720p/50.
The solution is to use osprey 700 HD capture card, which can hardware reencode to desireable screen size and bitrate (I'm able to stream 720p/50 feed to 720p/25 encoded stream). But they are too expensive.
With DeckLink SDI capture cards I can only stream 1080i/50 feed capturing 1080i/25 fps (somehow, this encoding preset works). But I have to software deinterlace, so picture quality degrades.
PS: When I'm using Canon XHG1s, I want to cross convert 1080i/50 feed with blackmagic updowncross mini converter to more affordable 720p/50 feed, which have no deinterlace nightmare.. But this stream I can't capture and stream.
There is no problems with "NTSC" cameras - 60/30 fps.

Adobe Premiere CS6 with Blackmagic 4K footage

Hi,
I am trying to open footage shot with Blackmagic 4K camera in premiere but all I get is a 1347 x something ... footage. I know Premiere CC will open it... But.. what about premiere CS6.. is tehre any trick or plugin to get it to open what is (or is supposed to be) standard 422 Pro res Quicktime File (sure.. at 3840x2160) ?

Again me...
I found a way.. I converted the footage with MPEG STREAMCLIP (freeware) re-exporting at the same resolution, Quicktime Prores 4444.. In this way it works fine.. I guess Prores out from BM4K is not exactly as ProRes out of Quicktime ! Hope it helps

Don't downgrade OS X without first erasing the drive. You cannot restore a Time Machine backup of Lion directly on top of a later version of OS X such as Mountain Lion or Mavericks.
When you "Restore from a Time Machine Backup.", the drive will be erased for you, but yes, won't hurt to:
Boot into Recovery (hold ⌘R on boot)
Utility->Disk Utility->Erase Macintosh HD, then Repair Macintosh HD
Quit Disk Utility
Then Select: Restore from a Time Machine Backup.

Is anyone having problems with the battery heating up and draining the power? Mine has been doing this for about 2 months now.

This is a major problem with Lollipop, but yo said it started 2 months ago. Several people have fixed problem by removing FaceBook And Face book messenger and then re loading the apps again. You might want to clear your cache before reloading. Not sure this is your problem, but worth a try. Good Luck

If you have records that show that you've taken your MacBook Pro in for a year to fix the machine, I would escalate the problem to Apple Customer Relations - unfortunately I don't have a number for Spain.
It would only seem logical to me that if you've been trying to have the machine repaired during the time that the 'recall' was in effect that you should be eligible for a new logic board. But only customer relations will be able to make that call.
Good luck - take the issue as high up the food chain as you can and see what happens.

Is this an issue with my battery or something else?

I'm aware that my battery isn't going to stay perfect forever and that over time the life of your battery will decrease but since researching about it on the Apple website and learning about Cycle counts I'm wondering if my issues are related to my battery.
Recently my Mac isn't lasting anywhere near as long as it used to when running solely on battery power:
Charge Information:
Charge remaining (mAh): 1399
Fully charged: No
Charging: Yes
Full charge capacity (mAh): 4666
Health Information:
Cycle count: 184
I know Apples magic number is 300 and as you can see I'm still pretty far off that but i'm maybe getting an hour and a quarter max out of my battery from full charge. Even if I just have one or two programs running at once (for example, Pages and Firefox) which to my knowledge shouldn't take up anywhere near as much battery as say, watching a movie.
And that's just one of the issues. Also recently, when I put the lid down on my Mac and it goes to sleep it'll wake itself up repeatedly, while the lid is still down. It'll make that noise (which i think is the hard drive) and the apple logo will light up and then it'll put itself back to sleep again. Then repeat every few minutes until I lift the lid up. However it doesn't do this all the time.
Another problem is if I leave it to sleep but leave the power on overnight (unplugged from a main socket) i'm aware that some of the battery will drain but only last night I closed it with 62% of the battery left and this morning it was 0% and I couldn't turn it on without plugging the charger in. It definitely wasn't doing it's waking up and going to sleep routine.
One last problem which I presume has nothing to do with my battery is when I turn my Mac on from being completely off it'll come to the grey screen, make the 'turning on' noise and then take about 2 to 3 minutes before anything happens. But whereas the login screen should appear, instead I get a grey folder icon with a question mark inside, flashing repeatedly until I turn the Mac off.
Normally a turn off and turn on again solves the issue but only yesterday it happened twice, one after the other before it would let me get to the login screen.
Does anybody know what the problem/problems are, if my battery is damaged or if the issues are related or not?

Well it sounds like you have a bad battery. I got mine replaced at about 80 cycles for free because it was holding only 87% of its charge, so you should be able to get a replacement free of charge too.
As far as it waking up and sleeping, that is often caused by a external device. For example, if you have a USB mouse plugged in, every time the optical sensor thinks it moves it will wake up your system, then it will go back to sleep. Another thing may be a key on the keyboard being pressed when the screen in closed (if the key is being touched by the screen) causing the system to detect input and wake up.
As far as the folder icon, that sounds like a potentially bad hard drive.

I've been having problems with the battery draining within half an hour of it being fully chargers. I have an iPhone 5c and haven't had it for long. How do I get the troubleshoot email to check it out? iPhone 5c

I have been having issues with my battery capacity. The battery will drain within half an hour with it being fully charged when the battery normally lasts me all day. I haven't had the phone that long so it most definitely shouldn't be happening. I went to my service provider about the problem and he said to go into the apple website, click "support" and then "battery capacity issues" to which you then type in your email to troubleshoot the problem on your phones however, I cannot find this. Someone help me out!

He may have been referring to: https://www.apple.com/support/contact/

Macbook - Shuts down with low battery and doesn't go to sleep

I have a Black MacBook 2.16 core duo and have been dealing with this same issue for about 6 months.
At first, the MB (macbook) worked perfectly. battery would get to 5% or so, warn me then go to sleep, then write a safe sleep image, then shutdown. I would turn it back on and it would restore the image to where I left off.
After about 2 months this stopped working properly. When running solely off the battery, the MB would get to about 20% and just shutdown. ppbbbbllltt!
I've spent endless hours on the phone with people in the Phillipines and sitting at Genius Bars. I've gone through all the things mentioned in Apple's support thread: calibrated the battery, reset PRAM, reset SMC / PMU, updated the battery uupdater to 1.1 then 1.2 (I think that 1.3 is only for MB Pros)
I'm on my THIRD BATTERY..it's happening again...at least with the first 2 it worked for a couple of months. With this battery, it bombed out on the first cycle that I went through.
Is this the logic board or the motherboard or something else??
Any other ideas on what to try?
Is this a hardware issue (IE motherboard, logic board...) ?
Is this a software issue (IE - OSX) ?
Is it a firware issue (IE - battery firware) ?
I'm at a loss....

If it's your third battery you need to have Apple look at the computer itself. As you know now switching batteries is not fixing it. I would guess it is in the power control circuit which is on the motherboard. You need to call and get it checked out.

Waking from sleep with no battery and no keyboard action

Hi there,
Since this unfortunate battery recall, I'm now running my PB with no battery (as recommended) i.e. just the power supply. I have my PB configured to prompt for a password when waking from sleep, which it does. However my keyboard does not appear to be responsive for several seconds.
Here are my steps:
1. Close the lid. PB goes to sleep.
2. Open the lid. PB wakes up and prompts me for my password.
The mouse cursor via the trackpad is responsive immediately. However attemping to type in the password field does not yield anything. The PB then automatically goes back to sleep. I can then wake it again with the keyboard and start typing.
The really weird thing is that with the battery installed, I do not have this keyboard issue i.e. my keyboard input is accepted immediately on the first wake up.
I have reset PRAM but to no avail. Any ideas? I'd rather not live with this behaviour while I'm waiting for my new battery.
Kind regards,
Christopher

Hi Chris,
You will be pleased to know your not the only one experiencing this issue. Like yourself I am now running my Powerbook without the battery and have noticed that when waking from sleep both my keyboard and mouse are unresponsive for several seconds.
This also happened to my friends 867Mhz Powerbook when he was having battery problems. It would seem they just dont like being run without batteries installed.

My iphone 4s only charges to 96% Is there a problem with my battery

Is there a known problem with the battery life of the iPhone 4S? I only have my phone a few weeks and the battery life is very poor. I've made sure that there aren't lots of things running at the same time (and I'm not using iCloud), but need to charge my phone every night which I never had to do with my old iPhone 3. In addition I have noticed that my iPhone never charges 100%, only 96%, I've tried discharging the battery totally and then recharging the phone just in case it's a calibration issue. Should I bring the phone back to have the battery replaced?

From the Apple site about the iPad battery ...
Use Your iPad Regularly
For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).
Here is the article.
http://www.apple.com/batteries/ipad.html
If you are getting around 10 hours of use out of the battery you are probably fine at 98% and it may just be that the battery needs to be calibrated in order to see the full 100% on the indicator. Try the charge cycle and see what happens.
