![]() Here are screenshots of the Hardware Settings in the System preferences -> Blackmagic Desktop Video Utility. I am using "Scopebox": this is an amazing software that gives you a increadible level of monitoring data along with your Live video feed such as histograms, scopes, and much more!įinal Steps! - : We need to setup the Macbook and Mini recorder to work perfectly togetherġ: Set the correct settings in our Blackmagic Desktop Video Utility in the Mac preferencesĢ: Open and Setup out FPV / Monitoring Software "Scopebox" or if you dont want to use Scopebox you can use the Blackmagic Media Express software The ( Software "pack" "Blackmagic Desktop Video Utility" ) also downloadable on the Blackmagic site.įrom this point on we are ready to start Monitoring on the Laptop you can do this in two ways: 1 The free included Blackmagic Media Express software which will let you record yourħ20p video feed which I dont recommend doing as we are focusing on monitoring / FPV of our drones eyes, or 2: using the Scopebox Software. ![]() TODO: Install the Blackmagic drivers found on the SD card that comes in the Recorder box and make sure you update your blackmagic software to the latest version TODO: Plug the HDMI cable coming from your Wingoneer Output 1 into the Input HDMI port of the Blackmagic Mini recorder and connect the ThunderboltĬable from the Blackmagic Mini recorder to your Macbook Pro. > Remember the setting we used in Step 1 regarding PAL and NTSC ? This is why its so important but more on that later: If you set a video feed setting that does not match the output of our DJI HDMI module, you will get a black screen in your FPV. The most common mistake is a wrong signal ( or video feed ) input setting set in theīlackmagic software. Of people say " it does not work " because they made a mistake. Blackmagic does assume you have basic knowledge of video signals and how to properly set them up. Output and input will turn on indicating power to the device.ģ: Now to the Blackmagic Mini Recorder - I have heard allot of controvercy around Blackmagic capture cards, I have to note though that Blackmagic sooo we need to thing outside the boxĪnd use the power source available: The Macbook Pro! - Connect a USB to 5V ( what the splitter uses ) cable into the mac and Splitter, The red light on the TODO: Splitters need power! and as we are out and about with our drones we dont have a power plug around. The Wingoneer's Output ports ( I always used output 1 ) you could even connect another screen to the second output port of the splitter if you want to. TODO: Connect the hdmi cable coming from the Phantom / Inspire controller to the Wingoneer Splitter "input" and one more HDMI cable to one of To use our nifty Wingoneer Splitter to do the mentioned above! Since about 90 percent of all capture cards refuse to record HDCP ( as it is a copy protection to prevent copying blue rays for instance ) we need TODO: Choose your correct region based on your location in the GO app ( video settings ) and connect the HDMI ( type C ) to HDMI cable.Ģ: Fortionately there are some little HDMI splitters that "kill" the HDCP from your HDMI signal and output a "clean" and "normal" hdmi signal. This is a region setting for instance Europe uses PAL and the US uses the NTSC format. The 50 or 60 hz setting is important so be sure to understand that if you set your video to PAL it means at 50Hz and if you set your It does that at 720p ( 1280x720 ) either at 50hz or 60hz. Center marks, rule of thirds, letterbox masks, title safe and graphics safe can be overlaid on the preview to help frame the shot.Now lets go through each of the steps in more detail ( we will assume you have installed the HDMI module into the controller ):ġ: Unfortionately the DJI HDMI output Module outputs an HDCP signal. Chroma zebras show where colors are over saturated. Overlay zebras allow users to keep an eye on the highlights and make sure nothing is lost to overexposure. ScopeBox preview monitor includes exposure and framing aids. ScopeBox's video preview palette shows the user a pixel accurate, color calibrated image exactly as the camera captures it. Additionally, ScopeBox will playback QuickTime files for monitoring, allowing users to check their final edit. ScopeBox works with any QuickTime-supported capture device or camera - AJA Kona Blackmagic DeckLink all DV, DVCam and DVCPro25 cameras with FireWire ports including the PD-150 and DVX-100 and DVCPro HD cameras such as the HVX-200. Each of these can be positioned, resized and customized, creating layouts that can be recalled later. ScopeBox recreates every major video quality assurance tool in a software package: preview monitor, waveform, vectorscope, audio meters and direct disk recorder, and adds luminance histograms, RGB histograms and RGB parade.
