Re: Down Conversion using HD Pro PCIe card.....advice please!

[Sean Ashley] "Am i right in assuming the SDI monitor out BNC port is only enabled when you play out through the card from FCP and its not "live" when you are capturing using the HD/SDI input?"

It is also live when capturing. However, there is no down conversion when this is happening. The output is the E-E of the card so if you're capturing HD, the SDI outputs will be HD even if down conversion is turned on in the DeckLink preferences.
