Can't capture from Sony EX1 -> MX02/Max(SDI In) @ 1080p@24

Hi all:

I prevously used a Blackmagic declink/SDI card to capture from my EX1 XDCAM -using the "uncompressed"/"raw" (HD/SDI Out) BNC connector. The decklink would only capture at 1080i@59.9 Hz uncompressed AVI (v210) format. It wasn't that bad, but I wanted MORE!

So, I went out and bought a Matrox MX02 le with MAX becuase I wanted to capture uncompressed SDI-out 10-bit at 1080p x 24 fps (NTSC).

Instead, the only way I could see the output of the Sony EX1 via the SDI-In of the MX02 was by setting the "Project Format" to 720p@59,94 fps.

What am I doing wrong here?

Has anyone else experienced this problem using a Sony EX1 (SDI-Out to MX02 SDI-In) ?

Regards, and thanks ahead for any feedback/help you can offer.

you need to tell your sony to output 24psf through sdi, its in the output menu, then you need to set the capture software to expect 24p embedded in a 60i stream. Also, the decklink captures 1080p/24 10 bit perfectly, I use it for live 10 bit capture straight to cineform files flawlessly
 
Hi Fohdeesha.

First of all, thanks for the quick reply. Sure is nice to know there's help out there.

I guess there's a lot I need to do, not the least of which includes having time to do it.

Nothing would help more than a step-by-step set of instructions.

I suppose this sounds like a lot, but right now it's exactly what I need.

I'll take whatever you have to offer.

You mentioned that your decklink captures 1080p/24 10 bit perfectly, and you use it for live 10 bit capture straight to cineform files flawlessly.

Cineform?

"... a software applications and tools supplier for HD / film acquisition, post production and digital cinema mastering ..."

Wow, this just keeps on getting bigger and better.

If only I understood one tenth of it.

Do you have a PC or a Mac?
