![]() Start by considering that all SDI I/O can be switched from inputs to outputs, which makes it a challenge to draw wire diagrams without having a plan for how the card will be used in a specific setup. ![]() The confusion comes from the card's flexibility to operate in multiple modes. The biggest source of confusion comes from the relation between the physical SDI I/O ports and the inputs and outputs exposed to the software that will be using it. In most PC tower cabinets that means that the card itself is mounted upside-down, which also means that you can locate the SDI ports left-to-right, starting with Ref, or bottom-up for rack-mounted cabinets (without PCI raisers). ![]() Tip: The Ref input connector (used for Genlock or Tri-level) will always be located closest to the motherboard. However, the device-mapping will work similarly with software like vMix and OBS. Our examples shows usage together with CasparCG. In this document we will be using the Decklink Quad 2 as an example, meaning we will describe having 8 configurable devices. Some other card models (newer than Duo 2/ Quad 2) might have the same architecture, but anything older than Duo 2/ Quad 2 will not work as described below. Important: Applies to Duo 2 and Quad 2 card. Decklink card configuration for use in CasparCG (or similar software)
