  How to use Decklink card for video spooler?

  Posted by Content Lab on September 26, 2005 at 7:26 pm

  Hello,

  I am interested in creating a PC/video spooler with a Decklink HD card. I’ve seen others make similar devices with AJA cards. I’m hoping it can be done with a Decklink card except for I dont know how to drive the card software wise.

  Forgive me if this isn’t making much sense but its Monday and my brain still haven’t woken up. What I’m looking to make is a PC with an HD Decklink card to use its SDI/HDSDI interface. Inside will be a few SATA drives in a raid config or SCSI to store the uncompressed video data. I will not need NLE software such as Premiere since I’m not doing any editing of the video data. I simply want an interface to capture clips and play them back.

  However I dont know what software or low level driver interface will let me do that. I suspect that using Mircosoft DirectShow could be a solution but I’m not really a programmer so I’m not familiar with that. Any tips on how I could do this?

  Regards,

  Jason
