All

Can anybody tell me if its important as to which Direct Show Decklink device is selected for Inputs. For each Decklink channel (and I have eight of them) you are presented with three possible choices for each Decklink input.

1 - Blackmagic WDM Capture
2 - Declink SDI
3 - Decklink Video Capture

Does one perform better than others? Are there advantages to one over another? are they just the same thing with three different named entries?

All The Best

I know WDM capture should be picked with some gopro's when the aspect ratio is not right, and some options have the option to exclude bringing in the audio. I don't think there's big differences in performance though.

I always have the best pictures with the second option "Decklink SDI" or "Decklink HDMI"

And i heard something about limited Resolution with WDM Capture.
