Intensity Pro output to Sony monitor problem

I'm monitoring the output from FCP 6.0.2 (OSX 10.5.2) on a MacPro, but the picture has a blue/desaturated colour cast to it (I get the same cast when outputting from Color & After Effects through the Intensity Card). Outputting to a Sony PVM 1454 via the Intensity PAL setting.
I've tested the monitor is OK by plugging the component output from my Canon XH A1 into the monitor via the R G B cables into the corresponding R/R-Y, G/Y and B/B-Y inputs on the monitor & it works fine (color is correct).
The interesting this is though, that the Intensity component cables out of the card are labelled '3R-Y OUT', '4 -Y OUT' and '10 AES/EBU OUT'.
'3R-Y OUT' is plugged into R/R-Y on the monitor
'4-Y OUT' is plugged into G/Y on the monitor
10 AES/EBU OUT' is plugged into B/B-Y on the monitor
Is this correct? I'm also getting (also lots of stripy diagonal lines across the screen).
(I've also tried other combinations of cables - this combination is the only one which gives me any picture at all)
I've checked that the monitor is set to component & that I've not got the monitor set to blue only!!!
Any ideas would be most welcome

Hello Simon,
I assume you're using an Intensity Pro (with Component I/O).
AES is for digital audio, it has nothing to do video.
Please see page 30 of the Intensity Pro manual for the component output connection diagram.
The AES cable should be gray/black.
The video component cables should be red, green and blue.
You also need to set the video output mode in the Intensity preference pane to "HDMI & Y, R-Y, B-Y".
Hope this helps.
Best regards, Oliver

Blackmagic Intensity Pro Output

So I thought that with CS6, pretty much any sequence could ouput via my BlackMagic Intensity Pro, and I didn't have to be in a BM sequence. Well, I have found that I am restricted by resolution and framerate - I have to be in a 720p60 sequence or nothing will output to my TV (which is a 720p TV). This is quite a problem as I am almost exlcusively working in 1080p24 sequences. Am I doing something wrong? Or have I misenterpretted the capabilities? FCP was able to pretty much ouput any seq/frame rate with the card.

I'm demoing CS6 and had my own thought on this. Let me see if this helps articulate the problem.
The crux of the matter is, in Final Cut Pro as an example, the BM Intensity output is completely independent of whatever sequence settings you use. This has never been possible and is still not possible in Premiere.
In my case, I use an older HD CRT for color correction that only accepts and outputs 1080i and I often edit 23.98 material. The main thing in FCP -- I could always leave my monitor on no matter what I was editing.
In Premiere Pro CS5 and earlier, the framerate output of the Intensity always changes to match the BM sequence. Obvious, yes.
So I knew I had to only use 29.97 Intensity sequences. I knew if I jumped to a BM sequence I would get a normal picture. When I jumped back to a regular, say AVCHD 23.98 sequence for instance, it would shut the Intensity output off. It wasn't ideal, but the output signal was simply controlled by whatever sequence I selected.
Now, because of CS6's new way of outputting video to the Intensity, unless I always only edit in 29.97 or deselect the Intensity output in the menu, I am constantly having to either shut my monitor off myself, or dig down into some submenu to deselect the Intensity output. Honestly, it's a pain.
For me CS6 is a step backwards in video output to the BM Intensity card.

Black Magic Intensity Pro output issues in FCP7

I just installed a Black Magic Intensity Pro in my office's edit/mix computer. I cannot get FCP7 to output video correctly. The monitor auto senses the HDMI output settings correctly (matching what I have chosen in FCP) but I only get a freeze frame of the last frame when I hit stop.
I have tried every frame rate/resolution setting and it will not work. I've reinstalled FCP7 and the Intensity (newest drivers from the website).
Any help is welcome!

DVD SP, Intensity Pro Card, No External Monitor.

I have a Black Magic Intensity Pro card that outputs fine with FCP. The DVDSP documentation says that it supports external monitoring but there is no selection option available in the playback or simulation preferences in the pulldown menu. Has anyone had any success with DVDSP and external monitoring?

There is a drop down menu for the Simulator window.

New 2.66Ghz 12-core Mac Pro - Two LaCie 730 Monitor Problems - Help Please

Hello:
I just got a new 12-core machine with the 5870 video card to power two LaCie 730 (30" LCD) monitors which give 125% of Adobe 1998. I do a lot of photo editing and want to use the 2560x1600 resolution on the 730. The monitor connected to the DVI port works and looks great. The other monitor, connected to a Mini-Display port only gives me 1280x800, which looks pretty crappy on 30".
Is there a solution to my problem? I thought the 5870 would power two displays like this.
Any help greatly appreciated as I am a photographer and not a computer expert.
Cheers,
Mike

be sure the USB dongle is plugged in
The adapter is an active adapter and needs power from USB to work
Unfortunately, we are once again having the future forced down our throats whether we are ready or not.
The legacy DVI component of DP is of the single link variety, hence the 1280x800. Best it will do is 1920x1200 when you use a passive adapter. It is passing through a signal generated on the card. The spec only allows for single link support via this pass through.
DO PC users have same issue? Yes and no. I got my first 5870 when they were hot new thing, nearly a year ago. I was eager to try Eyefinity. Through a painful learning process I discovered that 5870 could generate 2 DVI signals. DVI clock signal comes from card, DP clock is from display. The 3rd signal HAD to be a genuine DP signal. If you look in the forum posts of nearly a year ago you will see quite a bit of whining as PC folk realized that they needed an active adapter to run 3 @ DVI displays. I was one of first to reason that Apple's DUal Link adapter would do this. Worked great, I played various PC games in wrap around beauty with help of Apple's MDP to Dual Link adapter.
Fast forward to today. Since Apple has turned one of the PC card's DVI ports into an MDP port, to run 2 DVIs of greater than 1920x1200 res is going to need one of these adapters. To run 3 is going to require 2. So, easier to buy a 27" MDP display, it won't need an adapter.

solved i think...
this from Kimomik on the flickr forums
Solved!
I had the same issue: Aperture 2.1, MBP and external display, color shifting in full screen mode.
Searching on the net, I found the following article on apple web site and applied its fix even if the article is dated from June 2006... It worked for me!
# Open the Color Sync utility, located at /Applications/Utilities.
# Click the Devices icon.
# Click the disclosure triangle next to Displays.
# Select your second display.
# Click the Make Default button.

I hope it will work for you too.

SpeedGrade 2014.2 will not send output via BlackMagic Intensity Pro HDMI to my external monitor.

I occasionally can get a few pixels near the left side of the monitor, and 2014.1 would display the lower half of the frame, but now, after the 2014.2 update, I can't even get that much. Premiere is monitoring perfectly. Any suggestions welcome!

I am having the same problem. I am on Speedgrade version 2014.1 currently and it won't output to either of the monitors I've tried. Both are connected via HDMI.
One is a 22' ASUS monitor, which reads "Out of Range" when I connect it to my blackmagic Intensity Pro output. From what I've read this has to do with the frame size coming out of SP being too large for the monitor.
Next I tried to output to a 50' HD TV. I don't get the "Out of Range" message on this one, instead the monitor is black with an occasional flicker when I hover over a clip or an option in Speedgrade. By flicker I mean the screen flashes a garbled purple mess for less than a second, then goes black again.
I'm running the Creative Cloud Suite on a Mid 2012 Mac Desktop with a 2 x 2.66 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon processor, 52GB of RAM, and ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB graphics card. OSX version 10.8.5.
Been waiting for this capability for a while, any advice would be much appreciated.

FCP capture problem with Blackmagic Intensity Pro

I just installed a Blackmagic Intensity Pro and I am having problems capturing in Final Cut Pro 6. I have a Sony VCR/DVD player with a HMDI out connection that works fine when connected to my TV. The video setting on the VCR/DVD are 720P. In FCP I have chosen the “Blackmagic HDTV Intensity Pro 720P 60 Uncompressed” capture/input setting. If I unplug the HDMI cable from the VCR/DVD and plug it back in I see the video for about 4 seconds and then just a gray screen. I have tried several video tapes all with the same results.
Any suggestions?
Dennis

I am having the same problem. I edit reels and was trying to use the higher quality HDMI input to capture video from my DVD player for client's video reels.
I could be mistake, but I do 'recall' hearing that you cannot record HDMI video (copyright issues) but only play back HDMI. We may be stuck using component.
Intensity Pro's website only mentions recording HDMI video from a camcorder with an HDMI output.
Maybe someone will clear this up for us with a definite answer. I have put a request in to Blackmagic support and will let you know what they say.

Issues w/ Intensity Pro on Mac

Hi everyone,
New to PP 5.5.0 (coming from FCP). I'm using a Blackmagic Intensity Pro card for external monitoring and I'm having 2 issues:
1. I can view video out thru the card but don't get audio when playing from the sequence or program monitor no matter what audio output source I choose in Preferences > Audio Hardware (even after relaunching PP). Audio meters show the correct levels.
2. Neither video nor audio will play out through the card to the external monitor when playing a clip from the source monitor.
My test clip is a PP generated Bars & Tone clip, DVCPro HD 1080i that I've placed into a project created with the Blackmagic DVCProHD 1080 59.94i preset.
Here're my system Specs:
- Mac Pro tower 2 x 3GHz Quad Core Intel Xeon, 8 GB RAM, ATI Radeon X1900 512MB VRAM, OSX 10.6.6, dual Dell monitors
- 8.2 Beta 3 Intensity Driver for Mac
- PPro 5.5
- External Video Monitor
Hope to hear from all you some possible solutions.
Cheers,
Rafa

This sounds like some settings need to be changed in Adobe and Midi/Audio in OSX. BTW did you change your media player to Blackmagic under the preferences yet and then try playing the clips in the source monitor?

FCE HD Output to Sony Trintron Monitor Problems

I am trying to output my Program Canvas to my Sony monitor, via a Hollywood Dazzle Firewire converter. When the Dazzle is trying to output to monitor, I get a very pixelated image and distorted audio.
All the settings under view appear to be correct, with Apple Firewire NTSC. Are there any thoughts at to what I might be missing here that could help fix this problem.
Thanks

Connect your DV cam & see if you can play your Canvas to your camera. If that works ok, then the problem is either in the Dazzle, the TV or your cables. I would suspect the Dazzle first, or perhaps the FW cable second. Check whatever you can on the Dazzle setup - there might be some DIP switches on the bottom that need to be set.
You might find some informative/revealing material in this review.
(fwiw, I've never been wild about the Dazzle products myself, the quality never seemed up to other products on the market.)

Blackmagic Intensity Pro problem plackback on external LCD TV

Hi there,
Recently installed Intensity Pro card on my Mac Pro and trying to work on FCP6. I use a 1280x720 9 sec footage for testing but there's a problem to playback on a external LCD TV via HDMI cable. The playback on FCP canvas plays fine but the LCD TV just showing a still image. I've tried to test on a SD 720x480 footage which works fine both on FCP canvas and LCD TV even a general CRT 4:3 TV. Sure I have select the Video Playback under View to "Intensity HDTV 720p 60". Are there any other settings need. Will anyone knows what happen or need any settings? Please advice.
Many Thanks.
Kory

Kory - the BlackMagic card is temperamental.
With FCP, I've found that if I capture using the card, for a few seconds, that the output to the HDMI monitor gets 'fixed'.
Or, sometimes it will just start working on its own. Maybe after I stop and re-start FCP.
I even returned my card for replacement. Unsure why they have such issues. But once you figure, by trial an error, a technique for getting the display to work, it does basically work. It's just quirky.
With Motion output, sometimes I have to use the wrong output rate to see the output, and - then suddenly it will decide it wants the correct output rate.
But, I'm going out at 1920 x 1080 - and haven't tried other resolutions.
Good luck. Try complaining to BlackMagic and see if you can escalate the problem up the food chain. Maybe if enough complain they will fix it (they were telling me that it wasn't supposed to display 1080p, but it certainly does - well, somehow converted to 1080i by the card or by FCP).
One other thing you might try, is an HDMI switch from monoprice. Might help with locking on the hdmi output. I use one of those for monitoring from hdmi input of camera, and I seem to remember playing with it while dealing with the no picture, or still picture issues of HDMI output to my monitor.

Blackmagic Intensity Pro using Premiere Pro CS5 Problems!

Blackmagic claims there are not alot of problems with the Intensity Pro and Premiere ProCS5. Well I am having my fair share.
Msvcr90.dll App Error (fixed this on my own doing Microsoft updates)
Decklinkapi64.dll App errors (crash) while editing from timeline
BMDPlayer.prm App errors (crash) while editing from timeline
Unable to "hold frame on in point" using a BM preset. Adobe presets work Beautifully!
and to top it off Poor performance when compared to using Adobe presets with my mediocre Nvidia 9600 GT.
My Intensity worked great with CS3. Is this card just getting outdated. Seems it was originally released with CS2 ?

Shooternz, Before I upgraded from CS3 to CS5, the BM intensity pro seemed to be an economical and popular solution for editing HD with a tapeless workflow and being able to output an accurate preview for color correction, etc... After upgrading to CS5 (I decided to skip 4 because all was well) it seems like i have jumped 10 years into the future.
I am very interested in alternate workflows now. Shooternz, I think I read on another post that you have a Quadro FX 3800. How does this work for you ?
Do you just output to a second monitor ? I to am keeping an open mind. I have been looking at possibly geting an Nvidia GTX 470, although not officially supported by adobe. I cant find a GTX 285 anywhere. All out of stock! discontinued card.

Dell Venue 11 Pro Tablet Docking Station - Dock Firmware won't update or output to any monitor

Hi,
Just bought a Dell Venue 11 Pro Tablet Docking Station and it won't output to any monitor via HDMI or Displayport.
I've tried updating the firmware to V02 and V03. I get the message:
Current On-Board Firmware is 0.41.9
Do you want to update with firmware version 0.41.23 (V03) 0.41.19 (V02)
When I select yes I get the following error:
Error: Please unplug the power connector from the Dell desktop dock for 15 seconds, then plug the power connector back into the Dell desktop dock and try again.
This I keep repeating but it will not update.
The model number of the dock is: K10A001.
The only other thing I notice is that the power adapter does not appear the same as any of the pictures I have seen and is a Dell 74VT4 (65w) which seems be for a Dell XPS 18 (1810).
Please help as I think this may need to be sent back.
Thanks.

Hello,
I've exactly the same problem. I've also the model number K10A001 and the current Firmware 0.41.9, and it is also not possible for me to flash the docking station.
This is also problematic because only one monitor of the two connected monitors works. An this monitor shows only a picture, if it is plugged, after the dockingstation and the Venue 11 Pro has been started.
I think there is maybe an improved flash utility required in order to allow to flash the docking station? If some one had succeeded please respond.
Thank you

Output to monitor problem

Hi guys,
I have upgraded to FCP 6 in FCS2, and am having problems watching my projects on the monitor. There is a lot of flickering with rows and columns of grey squares appearing, and the film appears to stutter, while making some scratching noises through the speakers.
Refreshing the video solves the problem for a few seconds, and I have trashed the preferences using FCP Rescue 6. I have restarted both FCP and my G5 quad but nothing is solving it. It feels that it is software related, but I cannot be positive.
Hope that is enough info - I searched the forum to see if anyone else had had an issue, but I couldn't see any similar problem, so if I missed something - sorry!
Thanks

G5 Quad Mac OS X (10.4.8) 4.5GB RAM Quadro FX 4500 graphics card, Final Cut Studio 2, AE 7 pro, 2 x Sony Z1E

Hi there, well this is not excatly a reply, but I have just upgraded FCS2=FCP 6.0 and I have been using for at least 3 years on previous FCP versions a Formac DV converter to send signal to a normal TV set, specially for colour correction without any problem and know FCP 6.0 does not recognize the converter. On the system profile it appears as a DV Converter Firewire. I have tried all kind of switching it off and re-connecting the firewire without success. Maybe that we are suffering some kind of similar software problems???

Use Blackmagic Intensity Pro to Monitor FCP7

So I'm trying to help my brother get this to work over the phone, but he's not as technical as I am. It doesn't sound that hard, but he can't seem to get any output to this card and I can't seem to find a setup guide online.
He's running a 2010 Mac Pro with Snow Leopard (I think) and FCP 7. Can anyone run down the basic setup for this card or point me in the right direction?
Thanks.

Thanks for the quick reply.....
