AVerTV HD DVR | DVI black screen!!

[r00tk1ll]

I just purchased the ACerTV HD DVR on a machine running windows 7 64bit with the provided drivers and AverMedia Center CD.

I can hook up rca, s-video, component, and HDMI from from my various electronics and it works fine.

The problem I have is when taking the video feed from an 1920x1080p medical grade camera from a DVI connector and using a DVI -> HDMI converter I just get a black screen in the aver media center.

I can hook this to a TV with this configuration and using the provided DVI cable and it works fine.

Is this a possible sign of HDCP?

What else could be the problem?

I don't think so as it the camera shouldn't use any HDCP on the dvi output.

Have you connected anything else with dvi to hdmi converter and got it to work?

[r00tk1ll]

Im gonna try that today. I did notice that the HDMI converter I have doesn't have the 4 pins around the horizontal "ground", any suspicions there?

I also tried using a straight through dvi to hdmi and it didn't work...

Any other Ideas would be appreciated

Figured it out, the camera is 1080p and cannot be lowered

Is there any way to take a 1080p DVI signal and force it to lower so my capture card can accept it?

I looked around at some blackmagic cards and they still dont accept 1080p... Do they even make them?

Also, the HDMI port is for output to a monitor/TV only.

AVerTV HD DVR can capture HD video up to 1080i on both USB and PCIe model and far I know of there no low cost ver that support 1080P you have look at more of a Professional Grade Capture device
NOKYARD I do belive he ref to PCIe ver but if it is the USB model then your rigth.
