Pushing/Recording format

sdi:PORT(/FORMAT)

Example, output SDI on DeckLink SDI port 0 using autodetection

sdi:0

Example, output SDI at 1080p60 on Decklink SDI port 0

sdi:0/YUV 4:2:2@1080p60

Video format: UYVY (YUV 4:2:2). Resolutions/framerate dependant on card Audio format: PCM

Other video formats only as passthrough

tip
  • In most cases not setting the format is best, let the auto-detection handle that.
  • You will require a raw UYVY and PCM track to push over SDI

Commandline example

Send mystream on DeckLink port 1 using auto-detection.

MistOutDeckLink -s mystream sdi:1

Send mystream on DeckLink port 1 enforcing 1080p60 activating SDI level a and setting a preroll of 14 frames.

MistOutDeckLink -s mystream 'sdi:1/YUV 4:2:2@1080p60?lvla=1&preroll=14'
