Mini Recorder Woes - No Input Signal Detected

PostWed Mar 26, 2014 5:05 pm

Capture utility from SDK reports "No input signal detected" from Mini Recorder via HD-SDI 720p 59.95 stream.
MediaExpress does not capture any incoming video.
Card installed in both pci-e x1 and pci-e x16 slot - same symptom.

HD-SDI 720p 59.95 routed to SDI connector on card. Video signal is generated by Aja FS1.
Video signal confirmed good via Deltacast HD-SDI card.

Thank you. Seems I forgot how to count. All seems to be working now, including MediaExpress.
