display_modes not supported #14

Closed todostreaming closed 9 years ago

todostreaming commented 9 years ago

Hi, first of all I have to congratulate for your interesting tools. Now the question: How can I get the settings (.r1000......) for an unsupported display_modes[ ] ? I would like to have /* DMODE_720x576i30 / what is the usual PAL and for /_ DMODE_720x480i_29_97 */ what is the usual NTSC. Could you help me to find them ?

Thanks in advance and best regards. TS

Steps to do it: 1) Record some video using the official drivers in desired video format 2) Stop drivers / reconnect to another computer with bmd-tools 3) Run bmd-streamer with "-v -v" and it'll dump the chip initialization values 4) Post the values here

Thanks for your prompt reply. I'll try to do it and post the values here. However I would like to confirm these steps with more details. I guess, I will need 2 computers, one with the official drivers (Desktop Video for Linux) and another with bmd-streamer (as I have, w/o official drivers for having no issues). 1) I will use the 1st pc for recording the desired video format using Media Express for Linux. 2) I have to stop the drivers in the 1st pc while recording. (modprobe -r blackmagic) ? Then disconnect the USB from the 1st pc and connect it to the 2nd one. 3) Run just: ./bmd-streamer -v -v (no more options needed ? input or whatever ?). And I will have a dump with the hex values.

Thanks in advance and best regards, TS
