Outputs the playing media on to DeckLink video cards with full SDI and/or HDMI support for SD and HD resolutions, frame rates, pixel aspect ratios, including support (depending on the card's capabilities) for separate fill and key output and embedded or separate audio.

How to Use

To get video in and key output, open casparcg.config in a text editor and use the following node for consumers:

<consumers>
    <decklink/>
</consumers>

Multiple Cards

Support for multiple DeckLink cards were introduced in CasparCG Server 2.0.

Automatic Conversion of Output Levels

To comply with broadcast standards such as CCIR 601 and Rec. 709 the 0-255 RGB levels rendered by the producers is automatically converted to the correct broadcast format (for example a range of 16-235) by the DeckLink Consumer, based on the card settings.

Genlock

Genlock is supported with this consumer.

Notes

The DeckLink Consumer was added in CasparCG Server version 1.8.
