Hi Todd,
Use VIC's native DeckLink grabber which has "Blackmagic-" as the prefix in the name of the device e.g. "Blackmagic-Decklink Studio 2". In VIC select 1080i59.98 and HDMI or whatever the input port and signals are. You need to have the Blackmagic 7.8 driver or later driver installed, otherwise the Signal and Port selection may not be possible and all the codecs will be greyed out. VIC's native DeckLink grabber has scaling support, port and signal selection and handles dropping frames if encoding can't keep up better.

Vic version: vic-2.8ucl1.4.0beta (GPL) I'm using a Blackmagic Decklink Studio. When I add start a VideoServiceHD, I am not getting video. Here is the behavior: If I select "Decklink Video Capture" for device (port external-in, Signal NTSC) and any of h261as, mpeg4 or h264, I get a black screen (which is promising....). h261 is grayed out, but if I set h.261 in the Service Configuration in AG, it will select it, but I get a vic error "can't read "encoder": no such variable" This is also the error I get if changing the device to "Blackmagic Decklink Studio 2" Note the 'Blackmagic Decklink-Grabber section with 'Software Scaling' in the vic settings menu only appears if I select "Blackmagic Decklink Studio 2" as the device. Any suggestions? Todd
