Capturing / streaming HDMI to Blackmagic Intensity - Framerate/Settings help please!

[Sam Gordon]

Hi there,

I'm trying to set up a livestream from the scarlet to an Intensity Extreme, connected to an imac via thunderbolt. We've got a gopro working great at 720p at 50 fps, and 1080 at 25, but no luck with the Scarlet.

The intensity is tempremental, and needs to know the exact resolution AND framerate. Anyone know what framerate the Scarlet outputs at 720 and 1080? Is it project setiings dependent?

Firmware is 3.0.7

This is pretty urgent (streaming in 5 hours) so any help would be very welcome.

Thanks

Sam

In case anyone's interested, the short answer was - update the firmware. The Latest firmware provides lots of options for HDMI output resolutions and framerates. Worked very well with the Intensity Extreme.

FYI - Scarlet/Epic don't output 1080p 24 hz in the latest 3.2.16 build.

However, that's been fixed, and should be in the next build.

Not sure about 1080p23.976, which would be very useful so that the sound captured matched the sound recorded to R3D - apparently that's difficult to implement for some reason.

Sound thru hdmi should also be 'coming soon' to a theater near you.
