Can get T3i HDMI out to record on hyperdeck shuttle 2

[andjarnic]

Hi all,

I hope someone reads this soon and I am just doing something wrong. I bought my shuttle 2 last year, with intentions of recording the T2i HDMI out. I swear I recorded something with it at one time, but then my t2i hdmi out stopped working. So I got a refurbished t3i.

The emergency is I have my first paying gig this saturday and I have been spending 3 days trying to get the HDMI out to record on my shuttle 2. The SSDs are fine, got two different ones, they both work in terms of SSD light goes on then off and STOP button is lit. I was able to detect a video signal on the Shuttle 2 from my laptop. The problem seems that my t3i outputs 1080i 60, and it is a listed recording format for the shuttle 2, yet, the video light will NOT go on, so I can't record anything.

I've set the camera in to 1080p/24 mode but I assume that is the internal mode for recording to the SD card.

I have verified on my IKAN monitor as well as my TV that the signal is 1080i 60 coming from the T3i.

Is there any way to change that to 1080p/24 output? I am guessing not.. so if not, fine I'll record the 1080i 60 and then convert somehow to 1080p/24.

I've set the shutter to 1/47.5" on MagicLantern so that it's close to 24 fps. However, I am now confused if the output is 1080i 60, what good is it setting 1080p/24? Again, I hope I can convert to 1080p/24 in post, haven't had to do this sort of thing before.

Anything else I am missing as to why the HDMI out works on monitors but will not get the Shuttle 2 to light up the video signal?

Thanks.
