Interlaced HD video through HDMI FCP output

Hi,
I am having difficulties monitoring my video in FCP using a mini dIsplayport to HDMI adaptor.
My footage is shot in 1080 50i and so is my sequence.
The footage was imported via log and transfer, and FCP automatically sets the dominant field to the upper field.
The footage looks fine in the canvas, but if I want to preview the footage on my 42inch TV using the HDMI adaptor, the footage looks bad whenever there is movement (due to the interlacing). I think FCP is only outputting one of the fields, not both, through the displaypot.
I have tried setting the display settings in System Preferences to both 1080p and 1080i.
Is there anything I can do so that I can preview the footage on the big screen as well as I can on my iMac?
Many thanks

Computer video signals don't do interlacing...not properly at all. That is your issue. You are taking a computer signal from the graphics card and putting that on an HDTV. It won't display interlacing right at all.
For this you need a VIDEO capture card. One that sends out a proper video signal, and not a converted computer one. The low end cards are the Decklink Intensity and the Matrox MXO2 mini.

  • No audio / video through hdmi from vista home premium

    dear friends
    am using dv6000 with vista home premium
    trying to connect tv output through hdmi but unable to show show either audio or video
    with the same cable, i tried in diff laptop and it works fine
    pls advise me
    i have my windows and all drivers updated

    When you run Lenovo driver installer downloads, the drivers are not installed. This is normal (!). The drivers are unpacked into a directory on your disk, usually under C:\DRIVERS. You have to follow the installation instructions (on the same page you downloaded from). Usually they say go to the directory where the drivers were unpacked and run setup.exe, but not always, so you have to pay attention if you choose to install the drivers this way.
    The simplest way out of your situation is to manually install the Ethernet drivers, plug into the Internet, then download and install ThinkVantage System Update, and run it. It should churn away and automatically install all the right stuff.
    Whether you choose to install the ThinkVantage stuff manually or automatically using System Update is up to you.
    BTW it sounds like you MAY have blown away the Lenovo Rescue & Recovery partition when doing your "upgrade". If you did, and you want to get that back, you will need to call Lenovo for a recovery DVD, and start from scratch.

  • Can you output live video through HDMI on Vixia HF R400 without recording?

    I want to connect two camcorders to a HDMI video switcher and output to HD Monitors and to a computer and use capture software such as Adobe Premiere Pro to capture video and sound. Of course, the computer will have a HDMI video capture card.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    No problem. Be warned, though. As far as I know, M series camcorders are only available on secondhand markets right now, and if you happen to find, say, a Vixia HF M500 new and unopened, the after-market price might be a little higher.

  • MacBook Pro retina display goes black while outputting video through HDMI to external monitor??

    I frequently connect my MacBook Pro to my 42inch Panasonic TV to watch movies/videos. I use VLC media player for all my playback. The problem I'm running into is that when I put VLC media player into fullscreen mode on my external display, my retina display goes black (I can still see the finder bar at the top and when I mouse down the dock appears but the rest of the display shows all black. If I click on Safari it will open but I can't see it on my MacBook display unless I take the external display out of fullscreen mode.
    I would still like to be able to do things on my MacBook while video is playing. I've played around with the display settings but they're pretty limited and I can't figure out how to get it to work the way I'd like. I've seen people having up to 3 or 4 displays hooked up, I'm just trying to hookup one. I would consider this a severe limitation of OS X if I'm not able to separately manage the displays. Hopefully there is a setting or something I'm just not seeing. Thanks.

    Yeah, fullscreen mode still doesn't play nice with multiple monitors. The common workaround is to stretch the window out to the edges of the screen instead of using actual fullscreen mode.

  • Is there a way to play video through HDMI and have the audio via the headphone socket?

    I would like to be able to play movies through the HDMI adapter to a projector, but to have the audio via the headphone socket to a separate audio system.  What I find is that as soon as I connect the projector via HDMI, the audio via the headphone sockeet is cut off.  Any ideas?

    Yes, there is a very simple way to get audio out through the iPad headphone jack even while connected to HDMI to play movies on a projector or TV.  In fact, I just did it last night for a presentation.
    With the HDMI adapter connected to the projector and your audio jack plugged into your iPad headphone jack, go ahead and start the movie. Then simply unplug the headphone jack and plug it back in.  The audio is now routed through the headphone jack again.
    I found I only had to do this once per session.  That is, Iwas able to stop the movie, go to the beginning of my presentation, wait the 20 minutes for the meeting to begin, and when I got to the video clip the audio still played out through the headphone jack to the PA system.
    I had built a presentation in a Web oriented training tool and it was running on Safari iOS7 with the latest update.  I have not tried it with Keynote yet.

  • Video through HDMI, audio through headphones

    Because of the way my sound system/TV is set up, I can't stream sound from the TV to the sound system; the sound system is picky about its input. I'd like to be able to use the HDMI to connect the video from my iPhone to the TV, but use the standard audio jack to connect to the sound system's Audio In. Is it possible to split the audio and video to different outputs?

    first of all, make sure you connect the cable before you switching on the device and connec it well.
    secondly, try to update drivers and bios.

  • T530 - Sluggish video through HDMI only. Was fine, no longer working right

    Hey all!
    I've tried everything I know how.  Ran updates, verified the latest drivers were installed, etc.
    Long story short, machine is about 4 weeks old.  Originally had no problems with video.  But just recently, video does not play properly via HDMI.  It seems to have started when Windows updates started downloading a few weeks ago.  Now I get errors every time it tries to download updates, and the video is not working properly.  Not sure if they are related, but that's where we are.  
    I can load videos (YouTube, streaming, etc) and they play perfectly on the laptop.  As soon as I connect it to my TV via HDMI, it gets choppy and sluggish... but the audio is fine.  Again, it used to work perfectly, so not sure what's going on.
    So, any ideas?  This laptop is useless to me if I cannot play videos on a TV or projector via HDMI.  Pretty much one of the only reasons I purchased a new laptop.
    TIA for any assistance.

  • How can I connect my Mac Book Pro (year 2008) to the TV set through  HDMI? I've seen a DVI to HDMI iwire but I'm no sure that it is correct. Could anyone help me? Thank you very much.

    How can I connect my Mac Book Pro (year 2008) to the TV set through  HDMI? I've seen a DVI to HDMI iwire but I'm no sure that it is correct. Could anyone help me? Thank you very much.

    I do not know the iWire adapter, but I use an inexpensive ($3) DVI to HDMI adapter from Monoprice, along with a regular HDMI cable:

    Be aware that this will only transfer video. You Macbook Pro cannot combine audio through DVI to HDMI. You will need to listen to the audio through the Mac speakers, or attach speakers or a sound system to the Mac earphone jack, or determine if your TV has the ability to accept external sound from the Mac while showing video through HDMI (few can).

  • HT1338 FCP-X 10.1.3 will not output HDMI video through Blackmagic Intensity Pro

    I can not get HDMI video output through FCP-X 10.1.3.  I tested the card and I get video through it to my HDMI monitor using Blackmagic Media Express, so I know the card, monitor, and cable are in perfect working condition.  I have windows>AV output selected in FCP-X, but can not get a signal through.  Has anyone else experienced this?  Any answers out there?  I think it is a bug, and a major one at that.  I really need this for color grading and to properly view my actual clips.  

    I guess my system just did not like Wednesday.  I started it all up today and it is working like a charm, just like it should.  There is no reason it did not start yesterday as I had restarted my Mac Pro several times.  We shall leave it as unknown computer glitch as nothing else fits!  Did nothing different, don't know, but all is fine on Thursday morning.

  • Satellite R830 and video output through HDMI

    Just wondered if it's normal for my laptop to output a max of 1280x768 through HDMI to my 26" LCD TV?
    Its a Satellite R830 i3 with hd3000 graphics. I have 8GB RAM. Tried under Windows 7 and 8 but the same.
    Also tried custom resolution but it just says on the TV out of range.
    Mt graphics driver is up to date and I had full hd working on this TV via another older laptop.
    Any suggestions please?

    I dont know your LCD TV specifications but fact is that external resolution depends on three options:
    graphic card driver, graphic card and the external device connected to notebook/computer.
    So if your TV does not support an higher resolution, you will not be able to choose another resolution.
    If your TV supports higher resolution but the graphic card driver and graphic chip would not support higher resolution, you will also not be able to use it.

  • Why did my 17"Mac Book Pro loose its ability to output video through it's adaptors?

    Why did my 17"Mac Book Pro loose its ability to output video through it's adaptors? I have S-Video, RC, and an HDMI adaptors that use to work and output video. At somepoint an OS upgrade stoped their functionality. Is this something I can correct? If so, any ideas as to a path to follow?

    2011 and later MacBook Pros shifted to Thunderbolt.
    Pre 2010 MacBook Pros may have a PRAM battery getting old.
    One of these factors may exist.   Not knowing the age of your MacBook Pro, I can't say for certain.

  • Sound through hdmi to my tv works but not when watching video online like 4OD

    the sound through hdmi to my tv works with music and videos I have downloaded, but not when watching video online like 4OD and youtube.
    How can I get it to work?

    Ok so I happened to figure it out while on the phone to apple support. Even though the guy was very nice, I think I knew more than him! He was explaining very basic resolution principles I played about. I had the second option in displays resolution. All I did was unplug the HDMI cable, click on 'best for display' then plugged the HDMI in and my resolution on the normal monitor changed to the normal blue, then went black momentarily and then changed to a strange resolution but another window appeared that said SONY BRAVIA HDMI at the top! Hey presto! Don't know why it didn't do it yesterday - I probably left the HDMI cable in or something! Oh well. Problem solved!

  • Having problems choosing sound output through HDMI to my television, any one any ideas?

    Though listed in the sounds options, I can't seem to choose a sound output to my TV through HDMI. I have sound output to headphones via the headphone socket or usb, but when I highlight to the HDMI TV option it justs returns to the top of the list, any ideas anyone?

    About alsa dmix, and for the record:
    On an Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU     E7500  @ 2.93GHz, the following are my finding about
    quality/cpu when mixing two streams at 44khz:
    a snippet from my .asoundrc
    #converter "samplerate_best" # perfect: 16%cpu, maybe overkill
    #converter "samplerate_medium" # almost perfect: 6%cpu
    #converter "samplerate" # good: 4%cpu, definitely usable
    #converter "samplerate_linear" # bad: 2%cpu, way better than default wine resampler
    #converter "samplerate_order" # very bad: 2%cpu, like the default wine resampler
    Here is the reference topic: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=942724
    I may be wrong, but in an opensource world (code reusing), i really doubt pulseaudio could lead to better quality/cpuuse tradeoff.
    Pulseaudio, being just another layer atop of alsa, could only lead to higher cpu usage.
