I am testing a Blackmagic SDI capture card with Vmix 19. Please note the card is the basic capture card
What does no error but black screen mean during input select using camera - please note I have read the knowledge base and the information provided still does not solve my issue
http://www.vmix.com/know...-using-a-blackmagic-cardThe following is my setting in the Blackmagic Preferences setup screen in media express
Project Setting:
Project Video Format: 1080p30
Capture File Format: AVI 10-bit YUV I also tried AVI Motion JPEG
I am able to capture and playback the stream in Media Express for above (+ all) settings settings
Playback in VLC
The captured file plays correctly in VLC
under codec this is what I see
Stream 0
Type: Video
Codec: 10-bit 4:2:2 Component YCbCr (v210) (for AVI Motion JPEG I get Motion Jpeg Video)
Resolution: 1920x1088
Display Resolution: 1920x1080
Frame Rate: 30
Decoded Format: Planar 4:2:2 YUV 10-bit LE (for AVI Motion I get: Planar 4:2:2 YUV Full Scale)
Stream 1
Type: Audio
Codec: PCMS24 LE (araw)
Channels: Stereo
Bits per sample: 32
VLC is able to play recorded streams and the media codec displays the correct setting set in media express
Add input in Vmix
Select Camera as input
the following is the default before making choices
Camera: blank
Input : blank
Resolution : 1920x1080
Frame rate: NTSC30p
Video format: default
Audio device built-in audio
Audio input: default blanked out
Audio format
The following are my choices
if I select
Camera as Decklink SDI 1
Input as SDI
Resolution as 1920x1080
Frame rate: NTSC30p
I have only 3 video format options
default
UYVY
RGB32
if I select default I get no error message but the screen is black
if I select UYVY I get no error message but the screen is black
if I select RGB32 I get this error
AddNewInput
Selected Video Format is not supported by this device: bmdModeHD1080p30
Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component.
If I enable legacy, I see the following options
Decklink SDI1
Sample Input
Blackmagic WDM Cature (***shows as legacy device)
Decklink Video capture (*** shows as legacy device)
Decklink SDI and Sample Input have only 3 options under Video format: default, UYVY and RGB32
all 3 options work for sample input but black screen,
default and UYVY work for Decklink SDI1 but RGB32 gives an error
Blackmagic WDM Capture
for AVI 10-bit YUV
Blackmagic WDM option
the error message dialog box shows
AddNewInput.The following are supported:

Unspecified error
***
However in the input form only options for NTSC30p 1920x1080 is HDYC, v210 is not listed
the form display is different from the error messages dialog box! and even HDYC gives no error but screen is black!
Decklink Video capture option
input form does not show v210
none of the options listed in the error dialog box shows any video. the list is missing v210 in the input form
Question is why are some of the content of the error message dialog box, like v210 not showing up in the input video format field?
I have tested all for input options for Sample Input, Decklink SDI1 and the other two options labeled as legacy devices - Decklink Video Capture and Blackmagic WDM Capture
For the video format options that do not give an error the screens are still blank. Have tested for NTSC29.97p and NTSC30p and I get the same results
Does Vmix 19 support the original Decklink SDI card??? My blackmabic driver is 10.5
