Error93-000, was Re: Why doesn't the stable black work on the ref video in?

JB,

i'm getting the same error today! i've had the loop-through workaround working fine since i got my Mac system almost a year ago, then yesterday all i got on the 1800 window upon FCP startup was "Error93-000."!!!!

i'm stuck, got a deadline (of course, this is always when technical problems occur!). i've played around with my cables, and it is only when i plug the "Y Out (to deck)" cable back into the ref in (upper left) that i get the error message again. not sure why it started to yell at me this way after months of faithful service. i thought maybe my loop-through BNC cable had gone bad. tried another, and the same problem...so maybe my decklink cable is bad? i dunno...

i understand about the blackburst generator solution, but like you are doing, my slightly cheaper option was working fine. any ideas on how to fix this without ordering a bb generator before next week??

thanks for helping out a bonehead!
