Blackmagic Intensity Pro 4K Capture Card Problem on Arena Output Screen

Post by BuboyIX »

Hey guys,

I'm using a Intensity Pro 4K from Blackmagic, a PCIe based capture card, attached below is the problem I encountered. Whenever I play my captured source I get some green particles on my output. One thing I noticed is that, when I changed the Capture File Format in Blackmagic Media Express preferences to DPX 10-Bit RGB those green particles disappear. Now is there a way to change Capture File Format in Resolume aswell?

Check your cables, those look like they could be DVI/HDMI noise.

Are there any possible causes aside from what 4eyes have stated above? :cry:

I have to check/uncheck "Clip video output to legal levels" on my BMD Micro Converters, otherwise I get a lot of green in my blacks. It's not the confetti spots like the picture you attached, but it is a "green" issue.
See if there is a setting for that and if so, maybe that will help?

What color space and bit depth are you sending/receiving? RGB? Some BMD products only support YUV and the conversion might give you less than desired results (hasn't been the case for me, but it might be for other people using different hardware together)

I've managed to solve this issue. It was on my source's Color Space.
