Re: DA88 Audio capture with Blackmagic HD Extreme

Hi Baz,

[Baz Leffler] "... but I am not sure if it needs an SDI input or can 'add' the audio channels and create an SDI data stream - I will leave that one for Luke to answer."

Thanks for raising this point. Yes, to embed the AES/EBU audio channels in to SDI video, an SDI video signal is required. It could be any SD or HD format but some kind of SDI video signal must be present, even just color bars. In Final Cut Pro, one can then choose to capture both SDI video and audio or just capture the audio.
