SDIOut Addon - it is a tool for sending outgoing stream to SDI output cards.
In order to work with SDI output cards, we use a professional SDK library from Medialooks that supports a large number of cards from different manufacturers. The list of supported hardware is presented here.
Line selection
Allows to select the necessary line from which the stream will be send to output (SDI, File, etc)
Allows to select the SDI card (or other) on which the the stream will be send.
NOTE: To test the quality of the outgoing stream, you can select the "File" option in the drop down and record the video stream to a file in a folder on your computer and then view it.
Some TV companies want their logo to be added to the SDI output. To do this, you can use the "Add logo" section for adding a logo.
To add logo click the "..." button and select the file in PNG or JPG format on the computer. Then select the location of the logo on the screen in the drop-down(4 positions available: top-left, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-right). To remove the logo click the [x] button
Please Note: The size of the logo should not exceed 300x300 pixels, as the logo will overlap the main image in the output.
Let's see how it looks in practice:
2. Additional control buttons:
'Show Log' button allows to see debug information that you can provide developers in case of a malfunction
'Refresh outputs' button allows to update the list of available SDI cards(if the card has been added or removed from the computer)
'Append' button allows to add several lines(outputs) to SDIOut Addon. To remove the added line click [x] button next to the [Start] button
