Hello,
I'm looking to re configure our video touring setup, I'm wanting to use Arena as a video server and control all playback and layers either from a HOG 4 or MA 2. Our current setup is running 4 HD cameras into a Blackmagic 4K switcher then a single program out of the switcher into a black magic ultra studio mini recorder then thunder bolt into MBP so I have control of IMAG and graphics on faders on my APC 40.
I'm currently in the process of building a video server with the new Mac mini i7 16g 1tb flash storage in a Sonnet X-Mac Mini Server inclosure that gives me the ability to add 2 PCIE cards. What I would like to get would be a Blackmagic Decklink 4K Extreme card that has the ability to input hd-sdi and output at the same time but I haven't been able to get resolume to recognize the card as an output only as a input source. The only work around I've found has been using a syphon that allows me to do that. But I would like to not have to use the syphon and have resolume recognize it natively under the displays. If not I can use the second PCIE slot for a display out card possibly but not sure what would be the best option? And if I'm not running this media system the best way please explain how I can.
Thanks.
John
