Hello rakibhossensweet,

Disclaimer that I am Product Manager at Bluefish444. Our video IO cards are supported by CasparCG, and we have many happy customers using this solution. If reliability is your concern, then please feel free to make contact with Bluefish444 as we have extremely reliable hardware deployed across all sectors of Broadcast and M&E.

Regards, Tom Lithgow

AJA support could happen at some point now that their SDK is publicly accessible and MIT licensed https://github.com/aja-video/ntv2. I have an old Kona 3G that I might be able to develop against, but I don't have a need to make it supported so may not personally do this. If anyone else is willing to develop and contribute this functionality that would be welcome.

Or as suggested already, you should consider Bluefish444 cards as they are already supported and are a better brand than the Decklinks.

Hi AJA Technical Support here,

I've been looking through the CasparCG forums, and git repo for AJA device support as we have had a couple customer come to us asking if there is AJA device support in CasparCG.

If any developers are interested, we are more than happy to arrange for loaner AJA hardware to assist.

If the goal of CasparCG is to maintain a 100% FOSS code-base (no proprietary blobs), we have a new repo for our MIT licensed SDK. https://github.com/aja-video/libajantv2. (Previously located at https://github.com/aja-video/ntv2) The migration was done to setup a better foundation for documentation of maintenance moving forward.

We also have a closed-source SDK that is %100 free and can be accessed by enrolling in our developer program. https://www.aja.com/developer/request You will gain access to our closed-source SDK, documentation, and access to our SDK support team.

If you want to arrange for loaner AJA hardware, or want to speak with us directly, call us at 1-530-271-3190 or email support@aja.com.

Thanks, Logan

AJA support would be nice! I don't have the skills, but I have plenty of AJA cards left, after we have changed to BMD.

Best regards Tue.
