Greetings. We are ready to pull the trigger to purchase 3 PTZOptics SDI cameras. Our plan is to connect the cameras to a DeckLink Duo 2 card housed in a Sonnet Echo Thunderbolt 2 expansion chassis to connect to a new iMac. This setup will be in England, for RMTP streaming.
The following is directly from the PTZOptics website:
"...When used with the BMD Decklink Duo 2, we found that 1080p60 will not pull in. We found that all of the PAL resolutions (anything that ends in 25 or 50) do not pull into this device. I am not sure if I missed a setting that would make this accept PAL framerates, but from what I saw it does not. It does pull in all NTSC framrate resolutions with no issue except for 1080p60 and 720p30. 720p30 does not work just because the BMD software does not accept 720p30 as a resolution for the session. So, 1080p30, 1080i60, 720p60, are the resolutions that pull into the BMD Decklink Duo 2 from the PTZoptics cameras."
My concern is that I do not know if we will need the cameras set to PAL frame rates since we will be streaming over the internet. If that is the case, then will the combination of PTZOptics with BMD DeckLink Duo 2 NOT work?
We use Wirecast for our our live production software.
Thank you for any insight.
