Decklink Duo 2 and Linux problem

PostThu Mar 08, 2018 8:57 am

Exsi 6.5

I've install VM Ubuntu 16
give vm card Decklink Duo 2 via PCI-E Pass-through
built ffmpeg + nvenc + newtek ndi + decklink,

All work well. Can get NDI stream with video on other VMs
But get error, when I try to get stream from 3,4 ports of Decklink card

ffmpeg -f decklink -list_devices 1 -i dummy
ffmpeg version N-90204-ge45d557 Copyright (c) 2000-2018 the FFmpeg developers

[decklink @ 0x310e900] 'DeckLink Duo (3)'
[decklink @ 0x310e900] 'DeckLink Duo (4)'


This works well:

ffmpeg -format_code Hp60 -f decklink -i "DeckLink Duo (1)" -f libndi_newtek -y NDI1
ffmpeg -format_code Hp60 -f decklink -i "DeckLink Duo (2)" -f libndi_newtek -y NDI2

But if we change to Duo (3) or (4):

ffmpeg -format_code Hp60 -f decklink -i "DeckLink Duo (4)" -f libndi_newtek -y NDI4

Wrong sub forum.. Should have put this in Software Development. ;) Maybe one of the Moderators can move it.

Also this is a User forum.. Sometimes people from BMD chip in.. And in the Software Development subforum there are a few guys from BMD that are quite active to help on such matters. ;)

I had the same issue using the same card.

To enable the video input on SDI3/4 you need "blackmagic desktop video utility" which requires ubuntu desktop.

Maybe there is another way to do it using command line.. idk :?

Hi Alex,

The default configuration for the DeckLink Duo 2 device is in full duplex, ie device 1 input maps to device 3 output and 2 input maps to 4 output.

You can change to 4 half duplex inputs, either through the Desktop Video Setup as Mustafa has described, or you can write a short application to achieve this. See the Desktop Video Developer Suppoty FAQ page under "How to programmatically configure DeckLink Duo 2 and DeckLink Quad 2 in half or full duplex mode"

Just curious. How did you get PCI Passthrough to work with your VMs? Any special tutorials?

Thanks in advance!
