Blackmagic Design DeckLink Mini Recorder
Date Added: 09/07/2020 by Yvan H.
<p>Purchased to connect a Sony Alpha A5100 for simple recording / streaming purposes (@ 1080p 30). The device is said to support AVCHD. &quot;Out of the box&quot;, the Decklink will connect with the camera (set to AVCHD / &quot;Auto&quot; HDMI) @ 1080i 59.94 - only. Image quality / combing = unsatisfactory. &quot;Trick&quot; is as follows: disconnect HDMI. Set camera to HDMI &quot;Auto&quot;, &quot;XVAC S&quot; 30 / 50M&quot;. Restore HDMI connection. You should be rewarded with a 1080p / 30 feed (and it should stay that way). Be advised that the driver setup utility will continue to report a 1080i 59.94 connection. Ignore that. Make sure the input is set to HDMI. (In Zoom, the signal may not appear on occasion. It will come in via &quot;Blackmagic WDM capture&quot;. If you see a black screen, select &quot;Decklink video capture&quot; and then go back to &quot;Blackmagic WDM capture&quot;. Oy.</p>...
