Can I get the activation information for each channel?

Hello

After the Decklink SDK was updated, the pDL information that was previously released by board is now changed by channel.

Do you have information on each channel's activation in the Decklink SDK?

For example:

1. We have two 8K PRO boards and one 4K PRO board mounted on the PC.

2. And as shown above, using the BlackMagic Desktop Video Setup program, the connector setting of one 8K Pro board is set to "SDI 1 to 4 In or Out".

3. After checking the Device tab of Media Express program, it is confirmed that only channel 1 is enabled for the 8K Pro board set to “SDI 1 to 4 In or Out”. 2, 3, 4 channels are disabled.

In other words, what we want to do is to check the activation of a specific channel like this.

Is there a way for the Decklink SDK to know the channel's active and inactive information?

I would appreciate your reply

Hi Park,

The following function can be used to check the active/inactive state of a device:

Code: Select all

bool isDeviceActive(IDeckLink* deckLink)
{
   IDeckLinkProfileAttributes*   deckLinkAttributes;
   int64_t                       intAttribute;

   if (deckLink->QueryInterface(IID_IDeckLinkProfileAttributes, (void**)&deckLinkAttributes) != S_OK)
      return false;

   if (deckLinkAttributes->GetInt(BMDDeckLinkDuplex, &intAttribute) != S_OK)
      intAttribute = bmdDuplexInactive;

   deckLinkAttributes->Release();

   return ((BMDDuplexMode) intAttribute) != bmdDuplexInactive;
}
