DecklinkKey open source in SDK

PostThu Jan 22, 2015 7:55 am

I try build DecklinkKey open source in BlackMagic SDK (v 10.3.1) and I use DEcklink SDI card. When I run program, THe radiobuttons (OFF, Internal, External) are invisible, so I can not test key on SDi card. What is wrong or something in source code?

I am sure to user SDi card that is supported internal key. Because I user Decklink live key, it's run. The image is attached on below.

HI -

Yes the original Decklink SDI can do internal standard definition (SD) key. The new Decklink 4K SDI can do both SD and high definition (HD) internal key. (page 148 of SDK Manual) If you have installed the SDK on the system and running a 10.x driver (not sure of your operating system nor driver version number) standard definition internal key is not working, I suggest you try an older driver version like 9.8 to determine if this is an issue with the driver.

If you are not able to make this work on any driver with the sample, then recommend you contact us to log a support ticket using our online web support email on lower part of main page of support.

The card is working since you can use Livekey and the card is recognized by the system. It appears that you are using the directshow keyer sample under the directshow folder. You can see in the drop down menu under "Device" it says Decklink video render which is the directshow filter for the Decklink SDI card.

If you want to use the C++ Sdk, the sample code is under windows / samples / called GDIKeyer. There is an executable for Gdikeyer under the bin folder. This code was used to create livekey.

I hope this helps explain the samples.

I've not understand your mean. its mean: Directshow key code + GDIKey code= livekey program. or how?

Hi Matt,

Are there any plans to restore SD internal keying in the not-too-distant future? I have tried desktopvideo versions 10.3.1.and 10.3.5 recently but still SD keying produces a mix rather than a key. I am using Decklink SDI and Decklink Optical Fibre PCIe cards on Linux (Ubuntu 14.04 LTS). Driver 9.7.3 works but this is difficult to install on modern distros.

Any news would be most welcome.

Dave.

Hi All,

Just to update, I revisited the installation of the working 9.8 drivers on Ubuntu 14.04LTS Gnome yesterday, setting up a new system. The procedure is not so onerous, requiring only some easily satisfied dependencies and a modification to the .deb file. All that is required is to unpack the deb, modify the blackmagic_iml.h file, re-pack the deb and install.

I'd still like to know what I'm missing out on using driver 9.8 rather than 10.3.5 - anyone?

Cheers,

Dave.

We are working on SD keying issues that have been reported. Also, Livekey and the directshow support for keying are not available on 10.3.x drivers. As mentioned some developers have used older Drivers in the 9.x series to have the SD Internal keying with SDI. If you need keying up to 1080p30 currently, then using Decklink Extreme family would be a good choice.
