Hi guys,

I am trying to configure my server to use the two inputs of my BM 4K extreme 12g but I suceed to have one. Do you have an exemple of one config file that works?
Here is mine so far (I tried several config).

  <channels>
    <channel>
        <video-mode>1080i5000</video-mode>
        <consumers>
          <screen>
            <device>1</device>
          </screen>
          <system-audio />
	  <decklink></decklink>
        </consumers>
    </channel>
  </channels>

Thanks all!

Do you mean outputs?

Then it would be:

<channels>
	<channel>
		<video-mode>1080i5000</video-mode>
		<straight-alpha-output>false</straight-alpha-output>
		<consumers>
			<decklink>
				<device>1</device>
				<embedded-audio>true</embedded-audio>
				<channel-layout>stereo</channel-layout>
				<latency>normal</latency>
				<keyer>external</keyer>
				<key-only>false</key-only>
				<buffer-depth>3</buffer-depth>
				<custom-allocator>true</custom-allocator>
			</decklink>
		</consumers>
	</channel>
</channels>

Thanks for your reply!
No I try to consume the input of the BM in the Caspar. So I try to configure the server to do so. But seeing your answer, I think that I am configuring outputs, right? Maybe I should try somewhere else in the config file?

For INPUTS you don’t need to say anything in the config. Just use a Decklink play command on a layer, like you would to play a video. I am not sure, if the 4K Extreme 12G is capable of using the input and the output at the same time, so get rid of all Decklink related entries in the config. And you can only use one input. As the card has only one channel.

Ok thanks. And what do I have to put in the config file to use the extreme 12g input and another input like a BM mini recorder for exemple?

Sorry I have made a typo. The first sentance should read:

Updated it, sorry.
