Richard,

Any idea ??

you cant the message comes from the video input card.

you need to use a seemless input switcher - that maintains the sdi signal when you switch - or switches to a black signal

you cant just turn off the video input layer?? make it a black image instead?

[mccatalyst]

We are switching live cameras without breaks . Like TV.
I could always go to transparent, use a black layer or turn the videolayercolors to black .
But its much´more comfortable to do this with the card.
I`m still in contact with blackmagic and hopefully they will modify the driver with a delayed/disabled message . :-)

regards jan

and you dont have a seemless video switcher?

quite unpredictable things might happen with the loss of sync...

please tell me if blackmagic will help you.

I already asked BMD about this. It would be nice to have an option to have the last fram frozen when losing the signal or a black frame. The "no video input" is a waste of space...

Here is what they said: "Thanks for the suggestion. We've received some requests for this feature as well as I've forwarded them to the engineers for consideration."

So I think we´ll need to go Amnesty style, have lots of people ask for it...

who did you ask at blackmagic?

I sent a mail to support@..., and got a reply from Kristian Lam.
