Raylight with Blackmagic Decklink HD Extreme

[srfjm]

I've been happily using Raylight to edit my HVX200 mxf files in Premiere Pro (now CS3), but I just recently purchased my Decklink HD SDI card... mostly for monitoring. The problem I'm having is that I can't seem to monitor using the Raylight project settings. If I use a Blackmagic preset, all is good with monitoring, but I can't select the Raylight codec for rendering...

I know using Raylight and the BM card together with Premiere is common... how are you guys doing it?

You don't need Raylight for rendering previews if you use the BM presets.
You would only select Raylight when exporting an AVI for P2 Maker (for example), and that selection is in the export settings.

Thanks Marcus... I did figure out how to get Raylight quality modes to work in the BM presets... I had to turn off the 'autoquality' option. That function doesn't seem to work with BM settings.
