Output intensity pro 4k

Postby yocarim » 18 Feb 2020 20:35

Hi, I have a question only for experts. I have a Blackmagic Intensity Pro 4k card, which I want to use as an output on a second monitor. I currently have the latest version of VLC installed. I was reading a little about it, but it has not been clear to me, since many of the articles are old, several years ago and earlier versions.
My question is, if I want to use my Blackmagic Intensity Pro 4k on a second monitor to see movies, I must do something in the VLC configuration, since I can't find the option, only \\Display 1 appears or I need to compile the VLC to make it work With Blackmagic? That's my doubt. Thank you.

I'm not the Expert, but let me add some elderly Sources with "DeckLink"- or "Blackmagic"-Hardware and the VLC-Player.

There seems indeed to be a Decklink output module in the source code as mentioned by #thweiss : https://github.com/videolan/vlc/blob/master/modules/video_output/decklink.cpp.

But it doesn't seem to be available in the current (vlc-3.0.10-win32.zip) release, or at least not in the Windows version. A search for "decklink" in the files only shows mentions in the locale/*/LC_MESSAGES/vlc.mo files, and in the NEWS.txt file, which mentions it for the old version 2.1 :
Changes between 2.0.9 and 2.1.0:
...
Video Outputs:
* New output for Decklink Blackmagic cards
Does it need to be enabled at compile time?
