Hi,
I’m going to use casparcg for dual and quad multibox with decklink inputs and html graphics overlay. I need to display multiples multibox of quad, trio and dual with transitions change over
I wanna know what is the best way to do it? Currently as I’m thinking to do it like this
Method 1:
Channel 1 for final output
Channel 2 for load decklink inputs
Channel 3 and 4 for switching final multibox composition
And trying to do it like this.
Load decklink quad on channel 2 as
play 2-1 decklink 1
Play 2-2 decklink 2
Play 2-3 decklink 3
Play 2-4 decklink 4
And then load quad multibox composition to channel 3 or 4 like
play 3-1 route://2-1 with specific mixer position
play 3-2 route://2-2 with specific mixer position
play 3-3 route://2-3 with specific mixer position
play 3-4 route://2-4 with specific mixer position
Cg 3-5 Add 1 html template 1 {} for overlay graphics name bg etc
and finally route channel 3 to channel 1-1
Using channel 3 and 4 for switching multibox without affecting final output on channel 1-1
Like: if ch 3 routed to main channel 1 and then for next dual or trio multibox. I load it on ch 4 and when load complete finally route to main channel 1-1
Method 2:
Remove channel 2 and load decklink quad inputs on channel 1-1 … 1-4 and use mixer to hide on screen and other channel 3 and ch 4 method is same
My main purpose for asking is system performance I’m using 1080i5000 with quad inputs and 1080i5000 output. So using layers instead of dedicated channel 2 is performance wise better or same ?
Or please do share if you have better solution for this scenario.
Thanks
