Hi all,

It's my first time posting, so please let me know if I am in the wrong place.

I am trying to use Gstreamer to perform a simple loopback from the input to the output of the Ultrastudio HD Mini.

Both of these pipelines work

Code: Select all

gst-launch-1.0 decklinkvideosrc ! fakesink

Shows input capture (when output set to monitor input during capture)

Code: Select all

gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc pattern=snow ! decklinkvideosink

Produces snow on the output

However this pipeline fails:

Code: Select all

gst-launch-1.0 decklinkvideosrc ! decklinkvideosink

Pipeline is live and does not need PREROLL ...

I think it is because initially the input source is lost, but then is detected almost immediately after that. Is there some provision in the gstreamer plugin to wait for this or ignore it?

Thanks!

I've found it.

Turns out the problem was that the autodetected modes were not propagating on the pipeline. When looking at the "Desktop Video Setup" app, it showed that the input was 1080p@59.94Hz so setting the correct mode (1080p5994) on both src and sink nodes was all that was necessary.
