Intensity Extreme Display Mode

Hello

I am using Blackmagic SDK to capture video frames (on MAC). On this card, the format change callback is not supported as EnableVideoInput() method fails with bmdVideoInputEnableFormatDetection flag. How do I detect the input signal format?

Hi Kumaresh,

a return value of E_INVALIDARG when bmdVideoInputEnableFormatDetection is specified indicates that the card does not support input format detection. This feature is supported on all recent models but not on the Intensity Extreme.

Hi Danniel

Is there anyway I can detect the input frame format? Because, for {1080p, 30fps} input, both {1080i, 30fps} and {1080p, 30fps} give video frames. Unless I see the output, I cannot say which is the correct settings.

Hi Kumaresh,

The best I can suggest for a board without the format detection feature is
to initiate capture in a sequence of selected formats until one locks.

cheers

Thanks Daniel
