Add support for Black Magick Output Device #164

Open ggarra13 opened 10 months ago

ggarra13 commented 10 months ago

Currently, mrv2 has the source code for the UI for Blackmagic (and potentially others) output devices. However the actual code has not been written as I don't have an actual device to test with (it currently costs u$1500). Darby has written code to support them in tlRender, so porting it should be trivial.

What do you mean, I own a BMPCC4K that I have yet to learn; what is it that you are after ?

BlackMagic Decklinks Cinema Capture supports cards that can play at 4K and 8K more smoothly than your computer:

I do not own one, and until yesterday imports in my country were frozen and expensive, even though for US they are now relatively cheap.

If you want to take advantage of a Decklink card now, I recommend you look into (for now, compiling from source) Darby's new viewer called tlplay-gl which ships with tlRender's source code.

I have to look into these cards, I don't personally own one as to what their advantages are over feeding the video feed into the computer directly.
