<BR>
<BR>
Use VIC's native DeckLink grabber which has "Blackmagic-" as the prefix in the name of the device e.g. "Blackmagic-Decklink Studio 2". In VIC select 1080i59.98 and HDMI or whatever the input port and signals are.<BR>
<BR>
You need to have the Blackmagic 7.8 driver or later driver installed, otherwise the Signal and Port selection may not be possible and all the codecs will be greyed out.<BR>
<BR>
VIC's native DeckLink grabber has scaling support, port and signal selection and handles dropping frames if encoding can't keep up better.<BR>

<BR>
Hey All,<BR>
<BR>
I'm trying to get my Blackmagic card working using the just released<BR>
AG3.2 bundle.<BR>
<BR>
Vic version: vic-2.8ucl1.4.0beta (GPL)<BR>
<BR>
I'm using a Blackmagic Decklink Studio.<BR>
<BR>
When I add start a VideoServiceHD, I am not getting video. Here is the<BR>
behavior:<BR>
<BR>
If I select "Decklink Video Capture" for device (port external-in,<BR>
Signal NTSC) and any of h261as, mpeg4 or h264, I get a black screen<BR>
(which is promising....). h261 is grayed out, but if I set h.261 in the<BR>
Service Configuration in AG, it will select it, but I get a vic error<BR>
"can't read "encoder": no such variable"<BR>
<BR>
This is also the error I get if changing the device to "Blackmagic<BR>
Decklink Studio 2"<BR>
<BR>
Note the 'Blackmagic Decklink-Grabber section with 'Software Scaling' in<BR>
the vic settings menu only appears if I select "Blackmagic Decklink<BR>
Studio 2" as the device.<BR>
<BR>
Any suggestions?<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
