Processing 3.2.3 with Blackmagic Decklink #65
Description
Hi,
there is no way to capture the videostream in 1080i50 from the input of the Blackmagic card to processing. I'm looking for solutions everywhere and found nothing. I read about GStreamer, but don't understand anything. Is there a possible way yet to solve my problem?

Unless the capture card can register as a webcam to the operating system, there's no way to use Processing's video library to do this. I would recommend an El Gato Camlink for capturing an HDMI video in Processing, or use ffmpeg's video capture tools to pull in a video stream from specialized hardware like this.

Support for custom pipelines is being added to the library, and should be fully implemented in the upcoming stable release. This other issue discusses the topic with a similar hardware:

The pipeline parsing functionality is available in the latest version of the video library (see capture/CustomPipeline), which should help capturing video from specialized capture hardware.
