Capture card name

Postby pieterhu » Tue Nov 06, 2012 4:01 pm

I'v got a PB Player configuration with a Blackmagic decklink Quad HD-SDI and Decklink Studio capture card.
These cards work very well in PB, and also have really low latency. However, when adding these (5 in total) inputs to the project, they have all the same name: i.e. "Blackmagic WDM capture".
It is possible to rename these inputs once imported into the project but it would be nice if they could be already numbered in the Device tab. Is there a way of doing this? Right now you have to add all inputs and guess which is the right one.

Hi Pieter,

we are only displaying the input names how they are delivered by the card's driver.
Unfortunately we cannot do anything on this "issue". You would need to talk to Blackmagic to change the IDs of it. The same is the property dialog of the card. This is all designed by the manufacturer and we are just opening their settings dialog.
