Hi There,

I’m looking into using FFMPEG for its DeckLink device control.  The capture 
part of the API seems fairly fully featured, however the output/playback 
controls seems to have some strange limitations.  Specifically, on output, 
there is a hard-coded limit of only 8 channels of audio.  What’s strange, is 
that the capture partition can handle up to 16, which makes sense considering 
most DeckLink cards have SDI input/output, and 16 channels is a standard 
workflow for SDI.  Also, is there a reason why only 2 and 8 channels are 
supported, instead of just “n” channels (4 or 6 channels, for example)?

Would it be possible to output 16 channels of audio?  Is there a better way to 
do this (via the command line?)?  Could a custom version of the decklink_enc 
files be built to handle 16 channels or is there some other limitation I’m not 
aware of?

Thanks in advance, I really appreciate any advice/ideas here.  Also, is there a 
specific reason that input/output are limited to only 48khz for audio?  I’m 
guessing this is specific to DeckLink cards, but I haven’t found a specific 
reason yet.
