Has anyone been able to get a BM Duo 2 card to input 3 SDIs and output 1 SDI? I am only able to input 2 (at a time). BM Tech support blames the software, as it seems to work on their MediaExpress software (using a clip for playback).
I am trying to input 3 cameras and use the 4th port as External (port 4 IDs as Deckling Video Render 5).
Thanks

Yes. You need to set it up with the BM Desktop Utilty tool. Read their user manual for instructions. It is quite simple.

I realize that this is a "mapping" issue. I also know that the card appears to re-map itself whenever the PC reboots.
My point here is to create a standard so operators can set this card up from scratch. I have been unable to find a guide anywhere that relates this card to vMix, and have heard a lot of complaints...
Here are two maps. Note that the biggest difference is the External Output filename/device. I also had a "not found" issue adding more than 2 cameras/sources when attempting to set more than 2 cameras as 720, so I set the remaining (3rd) one as 1080.
BM Desktop Video Setup (Ref = bottom 0)
DV Connector - backpanel # I/O

Duo 2 SDI 3 & 4 3 In
Duo 3 SDI 2 2 In
Duo 4 None 4 Out
vMix Camera Input

DL Duo (1) 2 1
DL Duo (2) 3 3
DL Duo (3) 4 2

Yes you can, I own two of these cards myself.
Just set them all up as in/outputs, 1 to sdi 1, 2 to sdi 3, 3 to sdi2, 4 to sdi 4.
Standard you get them configured as 2 channel with loop out, so you need to change that in the control panel at the BMD utility.
Now you can setup 3 inputs in vMix, and setup external output to use the fourth.
Please keep in mind that the connections are not 1 to 4.
If you look at the card standing up it is like this:
4
2
3
1
REF
