Hello,

I'm able to capture from a windows desktop and send that out a Blackmagic DeckLink card (in NTSC format), however there is a substantial delay, almost a second, between the windowz direct-connected monitor and the SDI monitor.

Thoughts on why this is happening? The system is not CPU bound, indeed, it's largely idle. Even scaling from 800x600 to 720x486 and converting the pix_fmt shouldn't take long and I wouldn't expect any encode/decode or other processing along the way.

The content I'm testing with is entirely still images played though a slide-show program; the fades between slides look fairly smooth on the SDI, just later than expected. (The screen is set to 800x600 as a convenience, it's the lowest 4:3 resolution the video card will do.)

As a side note, I hate dealing with the non-square pixels of NTSC.

Later,
