No video seen in the video preview window
If you’ve checked that your video source (e.g. video camera or VHS player) works with
your television, but you still cannot see any video in the preview of Blackmagic Video
Recorder, there could be a cabling problem.
Check that your video and audio cables are connected to the correct video source
device as it can be easy to mistakenly connect the wrong cables to Video Recorder if
you have a busy work area with lots of video and audio cables. It can be easy to confuse
the composite video and analog audio cables of a VHS player with the same type of
cables for a video camera as they are usually the same color.
Check that you have connected the video and audio cables to the analog video and
audio outputs of your video source device. A VHS tape recorder might have both inputs
and outputs and they will look exactly the same. It is important to use the outputs of the
video device and connect them to Blackmagic Video Recorder.
If you are using component or S-Video connections, carefully check that you have
connected each cable to the correct connectors on your video source device and
to Video Recorder. No video will appear if the three component cables, or the two
connectors from an S-Video breakout cable, are accidentally connected the wrong way
around to Video Recorder. Please refer to the component and S-Video connection
diagrams, in the Connections section of this manual, for correct cabling instructions.
