Hi,

It’s DB9 male to male straight (not mirrored, not crossed).
Pin 1 to pin 1, pin 2 to pin 2, ….. pin 9 to pin 9.

Some sell them as ‘special’ RS422 cables asking loads of dollars for it, but many sell them simply as serial cable and only for a few dollars. I never experienced any trouble using them, even when using them for longer distances.

Use Google and search for ‘DB9 male-male cable’ or something like that and you will find tens, no hundreds of companies all selling the same stuff.

Hope this helps,

Hoi Igor,

The files you are talking about are encoded in a ‘special’ codec, still part of our driver software.
DV10 means something like ‘Digital Voodoo 10 bit compliant codec’, and we only added it to give end users the opportunity to play out old ‘legacy’ Digital Voodoo files.

Details about how to play out Digital Voodoo files and Cinewave files with our DeckLink cards can be found in Support Note number 33 on our web site:

https://www.decklink.com/support/detail.asp?techID=33

You can either install our driver software and have the codec available for QuickTime, or, better still, ask the production house to not use this legacy codec and go for the Apple codec all the time.

Hope this explains,

Hi,

You can do composite over the Y connector as well.
