Decklink output to Brodacast Monitor on windows

[Alan Scott]

I had tried searching before posting the same question and didn’t see your post at first.

Wondering if you found a way to do this?

It was a feature of my Matrox APVe that I really found useful.

BM emphatically claims that Matrox video cards are not compatible with Decklink so my Decklink system was setup without one.

I had assumed the incompatibilities might be due to conflicts of the same feature we are looking for.

Matrox used a DirectShow filter that automatically came up in the graph whenever a video was being rendered. The only caveats where that some colorspaces were not valid for the Matrox filter.

With that I was able to use MPC, VLC, WinAmp, Media Player, Nuendo, and a few other players/applications to output the video to either an HD or SD monitor (Composite, S-Video, Component) simultaneously.

Looking to do the same with a Decklink HD Extreme through the Y/C outputs.

So I take it this isn’t possible with the current drivers/software from BM.

If this is true, what is the conflict with the Matrox APVe ?
ALL Matrox cards are being listed as incompatible but is this due to no testing done, software or hardware conflict?

I only ask about the Matrox as it’s the only card on the market that allows dual head DVI with a third separate Video Out for this purpose. And it works.

ATI Theater Mode and Nvidia’s equivalent have had long standing issues with doing this plus only provide a single monitor + video out capability.
