Can i transfer video data between two Decklink devices?

PostFri Mar 22, 2013 12:46 am

We have bought Decklink Quad and Decklink SDI cards. And we plan to use Decklink Quad in one computer to capture a high resolution video data by Blackmagic SDK, and then transfer the video data to DeckLink SDI card in anohter computer also by Blackmagic SDK APIs. The process should be in real time.

And we have a try but not success.

I want know whether the Decklink Quad card can output the video data to Decklink SDI card. Thanks in advance.

Pthkin, Thanks a lot for your suggestions. It means we will need 2x decklink quad cards. I will have a try. :)

One more comments. I heared somebody said that Decklink Quad supports 4 inputs and 4 outputs simutaneously with some commerial softwares. But i try the SDK sample, the conclusion is Decklink quad cann't support that.
Is there any APIs which can make Decklink Quad support simutaneously 4 input and 4 output?

Could Blackmagic Support Team give us an explaination about this? Thanks.
