Blackmagic Forum

Hi to everybody

I appreciate very much to participate in this new forum.
It would be great to get some answer or help from BM if there is now other available
So I am exited to see whats coming up …

We are coding with XCODE 4.3 in Objective-C for 64 Bit apps on Mac.
Thoug it is possible to access BM devices (Ultrastudio 3D) with AVFoundation classes we would like to dive more deep into those devices with the BM SDK.

Are there code examples around which might help to setup a working XCODE Project, grab frames, evaluate, manipulate them and so forth ?

Would be great to get some response

Hi Heinz,
check out the examples provided by the Decklink SDK
http://www.blackmagicdesign.com/support/sdks/

Unfortunately there is no example on how to Playout videofiles. I'm working on an application on my own and still trying to figure out what is the best way to do so.

I've managed to playout a h264-File using code from the SignalGenerator-Example for initialisation and DecklinkKeyer for getting Frames out of a movie-file using GworldPointers. Nowadays you should check out the AVFoundation-Framework because GWorldPointers are depreceated with MacOSX 10.6 (Lion and above).

The Decklink Signal-Generator is the best example to learn how a videooutput is setup in Xcode. Since the SDK is written in C++ you have to switch to Objective C++ which allows mixing C++ with Objective-C-Code.

hi mh87

thanks for replay. Found the code examples. Great … Now I can save the world

thanks Blackmagic, you do a great job, keep on …

Hello, everyone! Here is a new developer aboard the forum.

I have a similar question to this one asked by the first. However, I'm not sure about which device he is using.

My main intention is to grab video from a camera and show it in my application real time. I'm not sure if this device (http://blackmagicdesign.com/products/videorecorder/) allows me to do that.

Have some of you guys used this product before? May I use this product for the described purpose? Are there any sample codes?

Thanks in advance.

Now that I found the SDK examples I was happy to save the world
But I can't because I do not find an example to choose decklink video input
Do I have to do that it in the decklink settings or can I trigger it programmatically through my app too ?
Does anyone have experiences on this issue ?

regards Heinz
