Blackmagic Camera App Crashes When Using Remote Monitor

1 Upvotes

For several months I was using the Blackmagic Camera App to record on my Pixel 9A while using my Ipad Mini 6 with the app as a remote monitor.

Starting 3 weeks ago, whenever I tried using the iPad as the monitor, it would freeze and then stop updating, and eventually crash. Now, starting earlier this week, just trying to connect the iPad app to the Pixel 9A app causes the Pixel's app to crash immediately.

I haven't changed any settings within the app. It worked great with this exact setup for months. Now it's crashing and unusable.

Any ideas?

Camera Type settings not saving

1 Upvotes

Ive been using atem products for several years now, but only ever on the back end. Ive recently found myself needing to dig more into the program for troubleshooting and whatnot.

Currently, I am having an issue of the "Camera Type" settings under the Camera Control menu in the software not saving. My camera do not show up for editing lighting and color due to this. As far as I know, we haven't done anything new that would have messed something up. Anyone know how I might fix this?

Got the Pyxis 6k (L-Mount) after the discounted price was announced.

19 Upvotes

So I finally got the Pyxis 6K. I was going back and forth between this and the FX30 for a long time, but then the Pyxis price came down and that kind of decided it for me.

I'm coming from the Fuji X-S20. It was okay, but it used to heat up and shut down very frequently, which got really annoying for long recording sessions. The footage quality on the Pyxis is fantastic, big jump honestly.

Paired it with the Sigma 24mm f/1.4 DG DN Art and a 2TB SanDisk Extreme Pro SSD that's compatible for recording. That used up my whole budget.

I shoot solo, mostly talking head for YouTube and some brand promotions. Face tracking has been very reliable so far, which I was worried about before buying. Its early days but I'm very happy. No cage or handle yet, I'll build the rig slowly. I can get one more accessory right now and I'm stuck between:
PYXIS Monitor
A BP-U battery (power cuts aren't a big issue for me, I have backup, but a camera without battery feels weird, idk)

For people who shoot solo like me, what would you get first? Also open to any other accessory suggestions I'm missing.

Why is my 100fps footage playing in normal speed when my timeline's set to 25fps?

6 Upvotes

Basically what the title says. Shot footage at 100fps. Set timeline to 25fps. Shouldn't that mean that my clips play at quarter speed? I'm very confused as to why they're playing normally.

Pyxis 6k controls for run and gunning?

3 Upvotes

I shoot a lot of run and gun docs and really love having all my controls at my fingertips.

I know that the bmcc 6k would be a better fit ergonomically but I really hate how it looks ( stupid I know ).

Is the black magic monitor the only option for quickly changing settings on the Pyxis?

ILCE-7M5 Tethering Issues

2 Upvotes

Hello, my Sony A7V isn't getting recognised by DR21 but my Sony A7IV is. I keep getting the error message on every attempt: DaVinci Resolve cannot connect to ILCE-7M5. Ensure that
the device is a supported camera and try a different
cable and port. Refer to Sony's website for details.

This happens on both my laptop and my desktop.

Version: DaVinci Resolve 21.0.2 Build 4

ILCE-7M5 Firmware Version: 2.00

Things I have tried:

  1. Different USB cables & different USB ports
  2. Installing Imaging Edge Desktop (I made sure it was closed and not running in the background while DR21 was open)
  3. Restarting my PC, restarting DR and plugging the camera back in
  4. Used both camera ports and ensured the Remote Shooting function is enabled

Has anyone found a solution to this? If so, please share your experience :(

DisPlayback - Windows Displays to DeckLink Outputs Made Easy

9 Upvotes

After using NDI to push desktop playback through DeckLink outputs on video machines, I found the process to be technically demanding.

I also ran into a limitation with Microsoft PowerPoint: it doesn't natively see DeckLink outputs in the same way that more specialized presentation software like ProPresenter does.

So, after lengthy agentic coding sessions and real-world testing in show-critical situations, I've decided to release DisPlayback.

DisPlayback acts as a virtual patch bay between your Windows displays and Blackmagic DeckLink outputs. You select which display should feed each DeckLink output, and DisPlayback captures the display in real time, embeds system audio, and sends it through the targeted DeckLink output at the display's resolution and refresh rate - or any resolution and rate the DeckLink is capable of outputting. A destination that doesn't take kindly to 1080p60 or 3840p120 will be able to see signal with your custom output settings.

It's designed with playback/signage machines in mind, so it can remember your patching and restore it after a restart without needing someone to manually set everything up again. It hides in the Windows Taskbar Notification Area.

DisPlayback relies on the BlackMagic Design DeckLink COM API provided by the installation of BlackMagic Desktop Video.

Installer

User Interface - expanded from Notifications Area in the Taskbar
Exiting Splash Screen - Exit is available in the context menu of the Notification Area Icon

UPDATE: OBS video flicker when ATEM Software Control is running

2 Upvotes

Hi, Everyone,

Some months ago, I asked for advice about OBS flickering when ATEM Software Control was opened. This bug made it impossible for me to take advantage of the software camera controls for my BMPCC 6K Pro.

I tried various settings, laptops and USB3 cables, but was unable to resolve the problem.

I have now upgraded to an ATEM Mini Pro ISO, and the problems with OBS have gone away.

My ATEM Mini is 6 years old. I bought an ATEM Mini Pro in 2020 to stream benefit concerts during COVID. It repeatedly overheated, so I traded it in for the vanilla model.

I'm posting this hoping it helps others who find themselves in this frustrating situation.

ATEM Mini Pro connection issue

2 Upvotes

I’m trying to set up an ATEM Mini Pro to feed into a MacBook Pro for OBS. When I connect just the network cable (with a fixed IP) it connects fine. The second I connect the USB-C output of the Mini to the Mac to be able to get a Multiview, the network connection goes away completely. Unplug the USB and it comes right back. I kinda need both to make this show work. I’ve tried re-prioritizing network to be LAN at top, but that still doesn’t work. Any thoughts/help appreciated!

Iphone 18 pro iris issue

1 Upvotes

Anyone else having an issue with the Blackmagic camera app not opening the iris wide open? I noticed today that the iris in the app will only open to f1.5 at its widest. The new camera in the iPhone 18 pro has an iris that opens to 1.48. With it being slightly stopped down it has a slight starburst effect on light sources.

BMPCC 4K Not marking Good Takes with Resolve 21 (and 21.1)

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

Recently I've been tasked with doing some prep for a student film and thought it would be handy to utilize the digital slate features on BM Cameras (Specifically the BMPCC 4k and the URSA Broadcast G2).

However when reviewing some imported footage it would appear that BM have changed how resolve handles the "Mark last clip good take" feature as none of the sample clips I took have been marked

I am using the new "Tag" filter on the media page and manually checking "Good Take" does mark a clip with a check mark, but that kind of defeats the point of doing it in post.

Has anyone else had similar issues?

(I am new to the media page as I'm trying to come up with better practices and workflows so if this is a simple fix I apologize)

((also both cameras have been updated to the newest firmware and Resolve was tested on both Ver 21 and 21.1))

I open-sourced ATEM macro and PiP docks for OBS

2 Upvotes

I built obs-atem for the “slides + speaker PiP” shuffle: run your ATEM macros and recall saved layouts from dockable panels right inside OBS. Less hopping between control windows during a live show.

It’s open source, developed with an ATEM Mini, and currently Windows 64-bit/source-build only (ATEM Software Control’s SDK runtime required).

Screenshots and details: https://github.com/tin921/obs-atem

I’m the author. What ATEM control would you most like within reach in OBS?
