Question / Help [SOLVED]Can't get Blackmagic Decklink SDI input to work with OBS

[miroppb]

Hello

I tried searching the stretches of the Internet for any info on how to get this to work, but haven't had any luck.
I have 2 Blackmagic Decklink Mini Recorders, and I'm trying to use the SDI input to capture video in OBS. When I select Decklink Video Capture, nothing happens. I've tried playing with the settings (video format/fps/resolution/etc) but the video doesn't show up. I've also tried selecting Blackmagic WDM Capture, with no luck. Blackmagic Desktop Video Setup is getting input from the cameras, but OBS isn't.

When I changed one of the cards to capture HDMI instead of SDI, and I was able to get one of the cameras to show up. Leaving the settings, and changing Desktop Video Setup back to SDI, yielded a black screen.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Oh wow, after finding this, I was able to add both cameras. For future people that find this: Click + in Sources, and select Blackmagic Device. Boom, just like that

Hi Miroppb, does using only 1 Blackmagic Decklink mini recorder give any problems? Or is it plug and play?
