ProTools9MP: Blackmagic Decklink SDI Video-Output Problem
 

Hello,

I bought a FastTrackC600+PT9MP bundle to test unfinished movie-productions on a cinema-projector. For video-output I use a Blackmagic Decklink SDI.
I tested the SDI output with ProTools8SE -> works fine! So I bought the FastTrackC600 Bundle to get a 6ch analog output, but the Video-PCIe option in videopreview-window is missing now with PT9MP...
I installed newest Blackmagic driver (9.7.2) and the 9.0.5 update for PT9, OSx 10.8.3. Blackmagic support adviced me to un-/reinstall all drivers/software and to fix file permission, but the video-output option is still missing.

Greetings, Matthias

Try installing DeckLink driver v9.6.9 and let us know what happens.

Still no Video-Output option... Reinstalled Decklink drivers (now 9.6.9) and PT9.0.5... I just realized, there's no Decklink entry in Hardware-Setup. Only FastTrackC600...
Is there another option the activate SDI-output, then right click on video-preview?

Thank you!

Apple menu-->System Preferences-->DeckLink

Does the preference pane indicate that it sees a card installed?

yes! and FinalCut-Playout is working with pre-9.7.x drivers (blackmagic driver)...

This could be an issue with Pro Tools v9 on OS X Mountain Lion. Pro Tools v9 was never qualified for Mountain Lion OS. You may have to upgrade to Pro Tools v10 to get this working.

i just tried pt10 demo and it's working!
on pt8se it worked and with pt9mp it isn't working?? i bought the c600bundle for video-playout and also tested it before with 8se to be sure and now i have to upgrade?

Re: ProTools9MP: Blackmagic Decklink SDI Video-Output Problem
 

What OS were you using with pt8se?

Re: ProTools9MP: Blackmagic Decklink SDI Video-Output Problem
 

same. osx 10.8.3

Academic exercise at this point. AVID must have changed something in v9 that broke with Mountain Lion and fixed it for v10. They will not be fixing that breakage in v9 for Mountain Lion.
