Blackmagic decklink Capture Filter Testing
jmone:
Couple of other things:
- the audio "static" thing, is actually over the top of any other audio, I even get it when the video is paused.
- it is all a bit "fragile", in that if you get any signal mismatch you end up with a black screen (eg everything needs to be in the same FPS, and the BMD device seems to get stuck in a particular FPS).

thanks for testing, tbf I wasn't expecting stability at this point :)
can someone fork these posts to a new thread on a public board? I guess they're better there as they are about decklink devices specifically

I was surprised by this also, the SDK reports the card has 8 channels so that's what I set the output format as but I thought capture was 2 channel only
--- Quote from: jmone on April 14, 2025, 12:45:04 am ---- The filter seems to be "persistent" and holds the device till you close both MC and MC Server (otherwise you get a black screen in MC if the input signal changes between playbacks)
--- End quote ---
as far as I can see, MC never destroys the filter once it's loaded it until server shutdown which, to my mind, seems a bit odd. I would think the filter would be destroyed after playback stops (and hence the filter graph is torn down) but that's not how MC works as far as I can see. It seems a bug to me.

will check it, I hadn't thought about HLG tbh (don't have any such sources)

for this case, it will be really helpful if you can use the trace filter and post the log it generates

@jmone updated 1st post, there's a new build which hopefully fixes many of the issues you noted
jmone:
Thanks mate, I'll give it a go when back home later this weekend!
