Re: Help setting up Eclipse

Kristian,
In my manual it says that in Mac preferences I "should see an extra display which represents the extended desktop feature of your multibridge. The size of the Multibridge display will appear differently to your computer display, and may be in 2K, HD or SD resolution."

In my preferences>displays>arrangement, I only see the two computer monitors I use to display my Mac OSX applications like After Effects, FCP, Photoshop, etc. Does this mean that I should be seeing a third extended monitor that is my multibridge, or does this mean that if I normally use two computer monitors for just my computer that I just can't see the output of the Eclipse?

I shouldn't have to give up my second computer monitor just to see the video output on The Eclipse. After all I have dedicated a very nice Sharp 45 in LCD with HDMI input just to the Eclipse and when I check "enable video desktop" I can see the other computer monitor on the big Sharp, but I don't want that displayed so I uncheck "enable video desktop" and then I don't ever see anything except and error which I guess is coming from the sharp that says, "An incompatible video signal has been received. Check the output device settings."

I am just trying to play a normal .mov clip that shows up fine in Blackmagic deck control and also shows up fine in the FCP program monitor on the computer screen but never makes it to the Sharp HDMI and that's where I want to see it.

I have preferences set to NTSC 8 bit in all instances and the Eclipse out is set to NTSC, HDMI, Component, but I've also tried the one other setting which is NTSC, HDMI, Composite and S-video. I see nothing at any of these settings except I do see my second computer monitor desktop on the Sharp if I have "enable video desktop" checked.

Thanks,
Steve
