I do not understand why none of the new users of this forum do see, that there is a little hourglass icon in the top right corner. Click on it and type config and you find a lot of examples of a config file for Decklink cards, for instance this. Beside others.

When I delete within , the server does not power up at all.

See my comment one step above yours.

26

You don’t have to remove anything, just change the parts that I posted for you. That’s all you need to do.

27

Ok, I try to configure the file according to this guide. I will let you know if it was successful.

Unfortunately, I do not understand what I have to do in casparcg.config, but for now I am trying to configure the file according to this o sent by didikunz

Change the <channels> part to this, there is no simpler way of explaining it.

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

After making changes to casparcg.config, there is a problem with the decklink drivers. I am sending a screen from the server and a photo of the decklink card we are using.

What version of the driver do you have installed?
The version of caspar you are running there requires 10.1.4 or newer

32

7.9.5 … Do you have an older version of caspar somewhere? Probably my card doesn’t seem to handle newer drivers, but I’ll try…

33

You can try version 2.0.7.1 By the way: a current Decklink card is cheap…

34

How is it actually? duolink?

35

All of these work. It depends what you need. If you need a fill & key I would use the Duo 2, If you only need a single SDI out the mini monitor will do. If you need analog out, then it’s the Studio. Or any other of these cards.

36

I guess that any release older than 2012 would work with that driver (so 2.0.2b2 and lower: https://github.com/CasparCG/server/releases?after=docs_subtree)

37

I need a card that I will broadcast video to MPEG4 encoder in HD format, just to keep airing it on cable in my little town (yes, I know my current one doesn’t support HD, but it’s just a test). Can you tell me something?

38

Thanks so much!

39

And the MPEG4 encoder has HD-SDI inputs? If yes I would use the Decklink SDI 4K.

40

Yes, it has such inputs HD-SDI. Thanks for the advice.

Do you have a ready version for download? At this link I find only sources cod and I completely don’t know how to run it
