Re: Decklink, CS5 and Mercury

Not the best thing ever, but here goes:

Do your edit in an adobe preset. You do not need the broadcast monitor for your edit. When finished and for color correction, checking legality (you need the scopes too) or for scene discussion and inspection you can always copy everything in a blackmagic sequence.

It could be a little difficult for BM to bypass the fact that Mercury acceleration happens in the graphics card. So if outputting from the BM Card I guess something's gotta give. On the other hand it is not clear to me if Mercury acceleration happens as process giving back an accelerated timeline for "everyone" in the system to use, or if it is something meant only for the graphic's card output. Maybe the BM team can shed some light as to how the API works, or if there is an API to tap into anyway.
