Hi Guys,
I am pretty sure, that this should be possible, but with my Trials I did not achieve both Channels working.

</configuration>
I would like to use testwise the Screen-Consumer as a Preview-Monitor and the Decklink-Consumer as final Output.
And as additional question. Would the 1st Channel (Screen-Consumer) in config be the VideoChannel 1?
CG 1 ADD 10 svtnews/info 1
and if the Client confirms the preview I would show the Template on Channel 2 (Decklink-Consumer)
CG 2 ADD 10 svtnews/info 1
Would that be the correct way?
Have you tried without the keydevice line? It is obsolete with keyer external and I don‘t know if it is simply ignored. What is working and what not? What does the log say? On startup it first logs the config and then it logs the channels on creating it. That shows sometimes what went wrong.

I have changed it into this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>

Only the Screen-Consumer is working.

Are you sure, that your monitor can display 1080i? As it sais, that it has initialized it correctly. Computer monitors seldom work with interlaced content.

Hm, actually yes, cause I am using an SDI2HDMI-Converter and if I disable the Screen-Consumer the SDI-Output works intermeditatly.

Ok, after checking it all I found out, that the SDI-2-HDMI-Converter became to hot and did not work properly anymore!
Preview was on Screen-Consumer and Live was on Decklink-Consumer.
I only struggle with the timing of the Preview. It should appear immediately, but of course it plays its animation. Is there a chance to get the Flash-Templates jumping directly to a specific frame to get the preview immediately and avoid to display the whole animation?
