Just because it plugs in, doesn't mean it'll work. You may need an ADVC (analog-digital video converter) device between the VCR and the capture said: I'm feeding a composite signal into a BNC adapter that fits onto the ultrastudio, I presumed this would work as I got the adapter of my old digital mixer, that did accept a composite feed into it.
If you are sending SDI over the composite cable it may not work because of the specs of the cable.Īs Michal said, the device may not be able to handle an analog signal, or the cable or converter may be the issue. I know I've done this said: You have to send a SDI signal as far as I know. Composite is a analog signal and will not work.
As said first trouble shoot with the original software form Blackmagic to be sure all settings are right. You can download the Media Express Software from the Blackmagic website. remember SDI and HDMI have limited resolution support. On this website you can see what resolutions are suported.
One thing about the Blackmagic devices is that all settings have to match, if your computer outputs 1080p 50Hz via HDMI you have to set HDMI as input in the Desktop Video Setup software from Blackmagic and select 1080p 50Hz in Isadora for it to show up. But as soon as you select one it will not be available in the other channels, it can only be selected once. I am not sure why you can choose two different Mini Recorder in the "device" selection in Isadora. So your composite signal will not work with the ultra studio. The BNC adaptor has nothing to do with the signal you are sending over it.
I said, the signal has to be an SDI signal you are feeding an analog signal that the mini Recorder cannot read.
