In order to output a broadcast-ready signal, your chosen card must be configured correctly. CasparCG's SDI output is currently developed using Bluefish Technologies's and BlackMagic Design's API:s.

Genlock

Genlock is used to synchronize a signal to a common reference signal. It is supported for SDI and HD-SDI output from the Bluefish Consumer and the DeckLink Consumer.


Bluefish Consumer Card Configuration

The Bluefish Feature App that can be downloaded from Bluefish Technologies doesn't have all the features needed to set up the SDI output correctly. Make sure you download the drivers provided with the SDK which will let you choose scaling and color spaces.

When installing the driver, make sure you also install the ASIO driver and Symmetry.

DeckLink Consumer Card Configuration

Resolving Key Output with DeckLink Cards

If you don't get any Key / Alpha Channel output from DeckLink cards using CasparCG 1.8, please launch the DeckLink Live-key application just before starting CasparCG (Decklink) server and you'll get receive both signals; Fill channel on SDI Out A and key channel on SDI out B.
