Can't capture from Sony EX1 -> MX02/Max(SDI In) @ 1080p@24

[Shawn Sutherland]

Hi all:

 

I previously used a Blackmagic declink/SDI card to capture from my EX1 XDCAM -using the "uncompressed"/"raw" (HD/SDI Out) BNC connector. The decklink would only capture at 1080i@59.9 Hz uncompressed AVI (v210) format. It wasn't that bad, but I wanted MORE!

 

So, I went out and bought a Matrox MX02 le with MAX because I wanted to capture uncompressed SDI-out 10-bit at 1080p x 24 fps (NTSC).

 

Instead, the only way I could see the output of the Sony EX1 via the SDI-In of the MX02 was by setting the "Project Format" to 720p@59,94 fps.

 

What am I doing wrong here?

 

Has anyone else experienced this problem using a Sony EX1 (SDI-Out to MX02 SDI-In) ?

 

Regards, and thanks ahead for any feedback/help you can offer.
