Ex1 > HDlink > Eizo CG241 problem
I am trying to monitor the Ex1 using the hd-sdi output through Blackmagic HDlink to convert to DVI and then to an Eizo CG241W. I am just getting loads of horizontal lines across the screen. each line is maybe 1 or 2 pixels high and the lines are separated by about 30 pixels of black. they don't seem to be related to the picture content at all.
I have tried the screen and DVI cable on a Mac and both the DVI ports appear to be working fine. I have tried connecting the HDlink up to a plasma using the DVI to HDMI adapter supplied, that works fine too. I have tried changing frame rates and resolution on the EX1 but still no picture on the Eizo. Anyone got any bright ideas? I feel sure I am missing something obvious. M |

Nope, SDI is enabled. It worked fine with the Plasma when the DVI is input through the HDMI connector, just not with the Eizo. I have read posts from others who are using the Eizo CG241W with HDlink, so I presume it should work.

Download the HDLINK utility form BM web site.
It hooks up via USB. Find the preferences under the drop down menu. There are a lot of options to to select to allow monitor compatibility. |
Thanks Steven. Will do.

get ahold of eizo japan ...
I had a problem with a monitor 5 years after I bought it and ran it by eizo. They had me send it to them. They fixed it for free! Great outfit. Of course, I live in Japan but the point is that it's a great company. Talk to them!

Depending on the mode your're shooting at, the HD-link will do a pull-up or a pull-down. This should be automatic, but in some cas you have to do it by hand.
As Steven said, download the utility and try different pulldown ratio. |
Thanks for all the input. It was hidden in the preferences in the utility. I had to force a manual override of EDID. "Force 3:1 Progressive Display" turned out to be the correct setting. Now it is working fine.
