FFMPEG with Blackmagic DeckLink Studio 2

I'm needing to stream our live shows using FFMPEG
I have several Blackmagic DeckLink Studio 2 cards that I'd like to use but I can't seam to get it working quite right. Google has turned up mixed results but nothing with the exact match of what I'm trying to accomplish.

I could use Mac, Windows or Linux but so far all my trials have been unsuccessful.

The furthest I've gotten so far is on a Mac:

Code: Select all

ffmpeg -f avfoundation -list_devices true -i ""

[AVFoundation input device @ 0x7fbe84600480] AVFoundation video devices:
[AVFoundation input device @ 0x7fbe84600480] [0] Capture screen 0
[AVFoundation input device @ 0x7fbe84600480] AVFoundation audio devices:
[AVFoundation input device @ 0x7fbe84600480] [0] Built-in Line Input
[AVFoundation input device @ 0x7fbe84600480] [1] Blackmagic DeckLink Studio 2
[AVFoundation input device @ 0x7fbe84600480] [2] Built-in Digital Input

Where the BlackMagic shows up as an audio source but not a video sources.

Has anyone been able to successfully stream using FFMPEG from either a Mac, PC or Linux using a DeckLink Studio 2? could someone point me in the right direction to accomplish this?

What i understand is, that FFMPEG is not quiet up to the standards of Blackmagic or Apple codecs, they both will not give you any support on that, because of that.
