- The image shows a system with multiple capture cards but the port numbers are shown assuming PC has only one capture card.
- If you have more than one capture card, the port number will be incremented following the series pattern given below.
- e.g., If the system has two Blackmagic DeckLink Quad 2 capture cards installed
- First card's port number: 1-5-2-6-3-7-4-8
- Second card's port number: 9-13-10-14-11-15-12-16
Note: Please do not use Reference Input port (i.e., crossed port as shown in the image to the right) for any kind of connection. |
Step 5: Configuring External Devices
There are certain settings that need to be configured on the external devices to be captured.
If the captured device is:
PCs/Laptops
- Open the respective control panel on the external device to be captured; related to your graphics card. In window this is Nvidia Control Panel for Nvidia, Intel Graphics Control Panel for Intel onboard graphics or Catalyst for AMD onboard and discrete graphics.
- Navigate to the Resolution and Color Settings to make sure these are correct.
- For 1080p capture, make sure the resolution is set to 1080p and not 1080i.
- For 4K capture, you MUST set the Output Color Format (sometimes referred as Output Color Space) to YCbCr444/422/420 for the best image quality.
Other Devices
- For all devices other than PCs please see the respective documentation on setting Resolution and Color Space for that device (e.g., PS4/Xbox One, TV cable box, Apple TV/Android equivalent etc.)
Note: Directly connected HDCP encrypted content will not play. For more details, visit FAQs page. |
Step 6: Create Blackmagic DeckLink Capture Source
The Blackmagic DeckLink Capture source casts output from any compatible playback device (e.g. PC, Mac, smartphone, tablet, gaming console, etc.) on a display or a video wall.
Follow the below mentioned steps under Userful Control Center:
Mapping: Creating Blackmagic DeckLink Capture Source
Mapping allows you to bind a specific display or video wall to the Blackmagic DeckLink Capture source. To create this source:
- Click on Mapping > New Source button. From the drop-down menu select Blackmagic DeckLink Capture as the source type and give a name.
- Select the Input device from the drop-down menu.
- Select the Mode from the drop-down list (output resolution and frames per second).
- Select the connection type from the drop-down menu.
- Select a scaling option.
- Enable sound only if it is required.
- Enter the number of pixels to be cropped from left, right, top and bottom of the captured external device.
- Click 'OK' to complete the process.
Map Displays to the Blackmagic DeckLink Source
Once source is created, displays or video wall can be 'mapped' or assigned by simply dragging-and-dropping the display and video wall icons to the source. To change the source configuration (e.g., to change the input) click on the source name to open the 'Edit Source' window and make the changes.
Changes will not take effect until the 'Apply' button is clicked.
The content of your captured external device will play on the display or video wall mapped to this source.
Note:Only one display or video wall can be mapped to a single blackmagic capture source (i.e., single blackmagic capture card input) at a time, to play the same content on multiple displays/video walls use Mirror Group Configuration. |

I was expecting them to give a video editing/creating software of some kind alongside the intensity shuttle. Apparently, it is the Blackmagic Media Express. However, on the disc named 'Blackmagic', I don't really find much that I can use for this.
Blackmagic Media Express should be free if we have the intensity shuttle, and yet the disc doesn't have it. Any help?
