[AG-TECH] HDMI vic & AGVCR.

[Douglas Kosovic]

Hi Jimmy,

A few people are testing the Linux version of the Blackmagic DeckLink 
VIC grabber code that's in Sumover SVN.

I've now checked in some minor mods to work with the MacOS X DeckLink 
API. Although VIC's MacOS X DeckLink grabber code is almost identical to 
the Linux version, the performance is much worse on the same machine, I 
need to investigate why.

Hit Lab NZ VIC is based on a latter version of SVN VIC's DirectShow 
grabber code that's been modified to support larger frame sizes. The SVN 
DirectShow grabber code was intentionally limited to a max resolution of 
720p (or it might even be 576p for PAL signal and 480p for NTSC) but I 
can't remember without look into the code.

I might get around to modifying VIC's native DeckLink grabber code to 
work with the Windows DecLink API one day, the API isn't too different 
from the Linux and Mac versions. The performance should hopefully also 
be better than using DirectShow.


Cheers,
Doug
