Blackmagic Decklink Support

Hello!
I'm right now working on a couple of live streaming setups and was curious if I could use Blackmagic Decklink cards for capturing the video. Before I have used an AverMedia card that worked OK.
My question would be about Decklink compatibility with OBS. I've seen a lot of YouTube videos with Blackmagic Hdmi recorder cards or etc., but I can't really get they idea straight - are all Blackmagic pcie add in video capture cards compatible with obs, are only some (if so, is there a list?) or is this only for the "recorder" named cards
I'm sorry if this is a repeated question, thanks in advance.

I use the Decklink Mini Recorder for OBS. I don’t use the Mini Monitor because that’s not it’s intended function. The mini recorder brings video in. The mini monitor sends video out. The Decklink Duo and Quad I believe can do both. So you’ll have to carefully read the description of the product. The cards designed to bring video in for the purpose of recording and/or live-streaming are all compatible with OBS however.
