    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi,<br>
      <br>
      sorry, I'm answering really slowly but I couldn't have a SDI
      camera since I posted my question.<br>
      <br>
      Today I made some new tests, and guess what; it's working.<br>
      <br>
      The only thing I changed is that I have 2 new devices : usb camera
      and an Osprey card for SD camera.<br>
      <br>
      The blackmagic driver works only if the usb camera is connected.
      When I disconnect, I loose the signal and PD crash.<br>
      <br>
      When the usb camera is plugged, everything is stable and works
      fine. <br>
      Mystery.<br>
      <br>
      Thanks for your help, I'm sure thoses informations will be usefull
      really soon.<br>
      <br>

              <div>Hello,<br>
                <br>
                We are using a blackmagick decklink quad on linux<br>
                to get the signal threw pix_video, we use the bmdcapture
                command line tool combined with ffmpeg so as to write on
                a virtual video device created by v4l2loopback (cf

                  target="_blank">http://wiki.labomedia.org/index.php/AstroFluxTechnique#bmdcapture_.7C_ffmpeg</a>)<br>
                <br>
                it works fine and it is stable even if we plug/unplug
                the video sources, it allows us to capture 1080i video
                or PAL video encapsulated in the SDI signal, but if we
                try to capture 4x1080i signals, the framerate is less
                than 25fps as Pd is &gt; 100% CPU<br>

                      <div>Regarding Blackmagic on linux you have to use
                        gstreamer through pdgst.</div>
                      <div>There are two plugins "decklinsrc" and

                      <div>I think they are in the "bad" plugin set</div>
                      <div><br>
                      </div>
                      <div>If this works the same in windows, perhaps
                        you have to fisrt set the mode of the blackmagic
                        before turning gem on. By setting up I mean
                        selecting the appropriate input and video
                        resolution.</div>
                      <div><br>
                      </div>
                      <div>And I confirm, never change settings while
