How to change the work / mode of the video card from interlased to progressive?

Question

Video cards

We broadcast on YouTube, there is a camera, it connects via SDI to the Blackmagic Television Studio HD video switcher, there was a need for a picture from a laptop, we connect via HDMI, and nothing happens, I switch to 1080i / 59.94 on the mixer, everything works, sees the laptop and works as a second monitor, but now the camera does not see, because the camera is working at 1080p. And now the question is, can I somehow switch to "p" in the laptop so that everything works as it should?
And by the way, there was a laptop that was connected to the mixer, and it showed at 1080p, but this laptop does not want to ..

Answer 1

Perhaps the problem is in the laptop itself.
I often met that old video cards simply cannot output 1080p, but 1080i can. With this, 960p or 720p works fine. Specify the laptop model.

Answer 2

Convert camera to 1080i?
