Need help with HD-SDI output Compatibility with Black Magic

[Phil Bates]

I am trying to help out my church with a live video feed from a Scarlet. Unfortunately, I can't get the HD-SDI to show up on their Black Magic Television Studio. I've tried 29.97, 60 and 59.94. I am wondering if their device wants 1080i rather than 1080p. I know the Scarlet is outputting an HD-SDI signal, because I can hook up a monitor and see it fine. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Phil

What is a Black Magic Television Studio?

Is that a model? or TV or switcher im trying to see how i can possibly help.

Here is info from the BM Tech specs - HD Format Support: 1080i50, 1080i59.94, 720p50, 720p59.94.
Looks like it only takes interlaced at 1080. Try 720p output if you can. I'm really not sure if the Scarlet puts out 720p on the HD-SDI port.

If Scarlet doesn't do 720p, you need one of these:

Thanks Ryan and Eric. I think I will need to get some kind of converter box. Fortunately, they're not that expensive.

The DUCC is your solution. Works fine but does introduce a few milliseconds of delay.

Thank you Mitch, and everyone else who contributed.

However, I looked up the MD-DUCC and it's $695.00. Is this the only solution? It's probably too steep for this application.

Anyway, thanks again for the help. I do appreciate it.

Scarlet should output 60p... I had a somewhat similar issue recently -- take a look here: http://www.reduser.net/forum/showth...y-way-to-get-a-720p60-feed-out-of-the-Scarlet
