Streaming Preview sample

Sorry if this sounds dumb. But how is the C++ Stream Preview sample supposed to work? I build and run the sample and all I get is a dialog that has nothing selectable in it and the message No device detected.

The OnInitDialog simply calls UpdateUIForNoDevice() which disables the entire dialog.

I have a Decklink Quad card attached AND input of four pins. Am I missing something?

Hi Mark,

Please note that the StreamingPreview SDK sample demonstrates the Streaming API subset of the DeckLink API, which is available with certain DeckLink devices (e.g. the H.264 Pro Recorder).

For the DeckLink Quad, please see DeckLink SDK manual section "2.4.1 Capture" and the CapturePreview SDK sample.

Referring specifically to the Windows StreamingPreview sample, it discovers devices which support H.264 streaming via the IBMDStreamingDiscovery[1] and IBMDStreamingDeviceNotificationCallback[2] interfaces, the callback is registered in the CStreamingPreviewDlg::OnInitDialog method.

Hope that helps clarify,
