[0] Black Screen on Capture Card

  • Specs:

    Raspberrpi 3B+

    ws2812B 300 Leds/ 5m

    Capture card HDMI to USB ID 534d:2109 MacroSilicon USB Video

    PC power source 5V 20A

    I've managed to make the LED light up with the stand by effect functions from the Hyperion UI so I assume everything is connected as it should.

    I'm still waiting for the splitter to come so i'm just testing the PS4 input connected directly to the Capture Card and based on the difference from the stand by effect VS the PS4 screen I should be able to test if the configuration works.

    USB capture disable = Rainbow screen (so it works)

    USB capture enable = LEDs turn off as the display images is a black screen

    • Capture is detected as USB Video: USB Video
    • Signal detection is ON
    • RaspbeeryPi detects the Capture card as (Bus 001 Device 006: ID 534d:2109 MacroSilicon USB Video)
    • MacroSilicon should work fine as per Mike72 in [1]
    • Also tried what ambientheater77 stated here [2].
    •  fxload - Firmware download to EZ-USB devices and hdmi2usb-fx2-firmware - FX2 firmware for hdmi2usb board development is present
    • Used max_usb_current=1
    • Logs does not show anything relevant AFAIK [3]

    So I'm pretty stuck, only idea that comes is to try with another Capture Card.

    Any idea would be much appreciated.

  • In the log the grabber is recognized!

    Do you have a live video of the grabber in Hyperion?

    Your set values are not yet optimal.

    Set framerate to 25 fps and pixel format=mjpeg

  • Thanks Pclin for your input!

    The live video was just blank but for those having the same issue, the solution was rather stupid…

    It seems that for some reason the PS4 output directly connected to the capture card does not work.

    When changing the input to a laptop it lights up.

    HDMI splitter came and teste it with the PS4 input and it worked.

    Not sure why having only input attached to the video car could not display anything but now everything is on parameter!

    Thanks again
