Owned by Thomas Staiger
Last updated: Feb 07, 2017

This chapter contains a list of supported video devices to do a playout in SD, HD or UHD. When using a Thunderbolt device from AJA, Blackmagic Design or Sonnet, please make sure that the speed of the Thunderbolt bus is 20 Gbit/s (i.e. Thunderbolt 2). This is especially important when playing out in UHD.

  • Listed here are all UHD/4K devices we have tested with UHD play out up to 30 fps. However it is possible that other devices which also support UHD/4K will work as well.

When using just:live/play with Blackmagic devices it is not possible to use the DSK based (LiveKey) method to switch from live video to video playout. Instead the non DSK based method can be used. In addition, the playout or pass-through of closed captions does not work with Blackmagic devices.
