i typed the following to see a feed from Decklink SDI card but nothing, but all i get is "The Luggage (Revision Exported)". can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong? i'm using latest ubuntu and driver installed correctly.
Code: Select all
vlc decklink:// --daemon --decklink-video-connection="sdi" --decklink-card-index=0 --decklink-mode="ntsc"

You didn't compile VLC with Decklink SDK.
re-compiile VLC with this option : --with-decklink-sdk=DIR, where DIR is the location of Blackmagic DeckLink SDI SDK.
You can find Blackmagic SDK on their website.

First, use VLC 1.2 and not 1.1.12!

I am also trying to get VLC working with my new Blackmagic Intensity Pro card - I'm using Ubuntu 11.04.
Can someone provide guidance on how I can build VLC with the Decklink SDK? I really want to get this card working with my Ubuntu build.
I have downloaded the VLC v1.2.0 source from git, and I have downloaded the Decklink SDK from the BMD website.
What do I need to do next?
Cheers.

Compile it. Use sudo apt-get build-dep vlc to help you.

Thanks, I've just compiled and built 1.2 and managed to view the Intensity Pro's HDMI input (720) through vlc. It works great! Cheers to the vlc devs for making this happen.

I've compiled vlc with decklink. But, I can't run vlc.
When I run:
vlc said that:
Code: Select all
Your input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'decklink://'. Check the log for details.
Please help me solving this problem!!!
I run with camera have component input!!! And use ubuntu 10.04, vlc 2.0.2...
